Voided
Specific numbers for settlement not found.
Background:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7391537.stm
Tanks and intercontinental missile launchers are to feature in Moscow's annual Victory Day parade for the first time since the collapse of the USSR.
A dress rehearsal on Monday featured columns of armour and fly-pasts of heavy bomber and fighter planes.
The Kremlin insists the parade, which marks the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, is not meant to threaten anyone.
But it clearly wants to show Russia is a serious military force again, the BBC's Moscow correspondent says.

Well, it seems that there were 111 vehicles, of all types, apparently including various types of (non-ICBM) missile launchers, a few ICBM missile launchers, Armoured Personnel Carriers, anti-aircraft vehicles, jeeps, some support vehicles and tanks (or, there was at least one T-90 tank).
How many of the 111 were specifically "tanks + ICBM launchers" as the question asks is unclear so far, but not many.
What threw me off is question asks V-Day parade on Monday. It occured on Friday did it not?
I guess we should give it till Monday otherwise we will have to void.
Best I could find was many reports all stating vague figures that over 100 combat vehicles participated.

couple examples, but found many more stating basically same thing.
Let me know if someone finds site with specifics.
Thanks
