FILE In this file photo taken on Tuesday, March 18, 2008, Russian troops are seen near truck-mounted Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missiles as they rehearse for the Victory Day parade in Moscow's Red Square, at a training field in the town of Alabino outside Moscow, Russia. President Vladimir Putin is projecting Russian military power overseas on a scale unseen since Soviet times. A massive reform effort begun in the wake of Russia’s troubled 2008 invasion of Georgia has transformed what long were crumbling, demoralized forces into an agile military capable of swift action in Ukraine and Syria. Russia’s young men once typically shunned their obligatory military service, but today’s recruits talk eagerly of longer-term enlistments. (AP Photo/File)
