Vladimir Putin, like his nation, draws his strength from creating a strong, macho image. Today (in a typical show of power) the Russians paraded some of their new military hardware around Moscow's Red Square.

Making an appearance for the world's media were their advanced air defence missile system, their aircraft, and all of their troops.

The all-female battalion wore miniskirts as well as knee-high black boots with tanned tights and starched white uniforms. The look was completed with black ties, gold braid, white gloves and peaked caps. In short, not the sort of uniform you'd see women wearing in any western armed forces parade.
