The National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan continues its active preparations for the Victory Parade, which will take place on May 7, 2025, in Astana. Guardsmen are inspecting vehicles, performing maintenance, polishing exteriors, and blackening tires to ensure the armored vehicles look flawless.

A total of 17 units of modern armored vehicles from the National Guard will participate in the parade, including the Barys 6×6, Alan-2 (domestically produced), and Cobra II. Additionally, the Ural VV, a personnel transport vehicle with a capacity of up to 17 people, designed for operation in high-risk areas, will be featured.

- These armored wheeled vehicles are designed for transporting personnel and cargo while providing the required level of bulletproof protection, as well as for carrying out operational and combat tasks, - said Arsen Shaimardanov, head of the armored service.

To ensure the seamless operation of the equipment during the parade, combat vehicle crews, drivers, technical specialists, and medical support teams have been mobilized.

Besides the mechanized column, over 400 guardsmen will represent the National Guard at the parade. This includes two marching formations: patrol and guard service personnel and special forces unit "Bürkit". Additionally, 30 servicemen from the consolidated orchestra of Kazakhstan’s security forces will provide musical accompaniment for the event.

This year, the Victory Parade will involve 4,500 servicemen from the Armed Forces, other military branches, and law enforcement units of Kazakhstan. For the first time, the battle flags of units formed on Kazakhstani territory will be carried, and military columns will march in historical wartime uniforms.
