February 23, 2006 is a federal day off in Russia, which celebrates the military servicemen, Russian Navy and Air force. The city of Moscow did the preparations at the very last moment, just like everything else is done in Russia, and hired design firm Moscow City Advertisement to do the posters. [...]
The ship in the poster glorifying the Russian fleet is American battle ship Missouri. September 2, 1945 Japanese signed capitulation on that ship and she has been parked in Pearl Harbor since then.
The jet fighter glorifying the Russia aviation is actually Russian, but this models are not used for equipping the Russian forces; these are export versions sold to India. And this exact jet crashed in 1999 during the military exhibition in Le Burge.
