Victory Day is a special holiday for the Russian people. He personifies the heroism and courage of our army, which defeated Nazi Germany in incredibly difficult conditions. There is no family in our country where there are no losses from this greatest grief. It is no coincidence that May 9 is called a holiday with tears in our eyes. The current generation continues to remember the deeds of their grandfathers, despite the fact that the number of war veterans is becoming less and less.
Every year more and more magnificent parades and fireworks are held in the capital of our Motherland. They once again confirm that the feat of our heroes will never be forgotten.
The first salutes were given in 1943 in honor of the liberation of Orel and Belgorod in the Great Patriotic War. These were simple artillery volleys. Then no one arranged bright fireworks. It was a wartime and harsh time. Very often, in honor of the liberation of a settlement, ordinary machine guns were used for salutes. True, most often fireworks were made by signal flares.
A full-fledged salute took place only on May 9, 1945. About a thousand anti-aircraft installations took part in it. Then thirty salutes were fired. According to eyewitnesses, it was a grandiose event.
How is the festive fireworks produced today?

In ten minutes, ten thousand salvoes are fired by fireworks. They have different calibers, patterns and colors. In the production of fireworks, about fifty types of fireworks are used. Usually, the colors of the fireworks are in the colors of the Russian state flag. As for the salute itself, they are produced by artillery installations.
