VLADIMIR Putin was defeated by the weather today, despite spending £1.3 million to spike the clouds with a chemical cocktail to supposedly guarantee sunshine on his vast annual military parade.
A 72-aircraft Red Square fly-past was grounded because of low cloud over the Kremlin, thwarting his bid to showcase his air force and honour Russian pilots who have served in Syria.
