RT has pioneered in offering a VR broadcast of the parade as part of its special coverage of the 71st anniversary of Victory Day.
The 360-degree panoramic video captured by RT’s camera gives a bird’s-eye view of the Red Square, as seen from a group of Mil Mi-8АМТSh helicopters, as well as a real feel of being in the cockpit of a Sukhoi Su-27 fighter, part of the famous Russian Knights aerobatics team.

Earlier, RT was the first TV channel to offer a live 360-degree HD broadcast of the Victory Day parade rehearsal using its special, fully immersive camera.
The channel also posted a panoramic video shot from the T-90 tank at a base in Alabino, Moscow Region, and footage from the GAZ-2330 Tiger armoured vehicle filmed during a night rehearsal.
All 360-degree video content on RT’s YouTube-channel is available for embedding on any website.
In December 2015, RT launched RT360, an app for watching panoramic video, available in Google Play and AppStore.
