Whether Mother Russia is superior, and to what exactly, may be open to question, but a rather more pressing question is why this parade includes such impressively executed Sailor Moon cosplays.
Russian cosplay does seem to be coming along well, which is well evidenced by the relevant gallery.

Pikachu apparently watches over the skies with this ita-radar/SAM system, in what we can only hope is an unlicensed after-market decal, rather than anything the system was sold with in an official capacity.
The source and model of the unit is unknown, but it appears to be part of the Russian SA-10 surface-to-air missile radar system… Just what Pikachu is doing here remains a mystery.
PIKA PIKAPIII...!!!!
