Next to Putin's Dacha: Russia launched two Corvets "Buyan-M" near Finland (photo)

After Finland's accession to NATO, Russian forces in the region are monitoring the Alliance's actions. At the same time, the deployment of corvettes, according to journalists, may also have a political context. The Russian Naval Command housed two Buyan-M rocket Corvets on Ladoga Lake, near the border with Finland. The Corvets are located just 30 miles from Finland, and at the same distance is one of the residences of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

This was recorded on September 8 by MT anderson OSINT Resource with appropriate Sentinel-2 satellite images. According to Bulgarian Military Viewers, corvettes on Ladoga lake can be considered as a response to a growing tension between Russia and NATO, especially after Finland's accession to the Alliance in April 2023. This deployment enables Russia to demonstrate its military power in the immediate vicinity of Finland's borders - a new NATO member.

Ships equipped with winged caliber missiles enhance the region's defense capability and serve as a reminder of Russia's readiness to defend their interests. And Ladoga Lake gives the Russian fleet a great point to observe NATO's actions in Northern Europe. The proximity to Finland allows Moscow to control the situation and put pressure on neighboring countries, sending a clear signal that the Russian military forces are ready to respond promptly to any threats.

Analysts also noted that the placement of Corvettes of the Class "Buyan-M" on Ladoga lake is not only a military but also a political signal. In addition, their proximity to Putin's cottage emphasizes the Kremlin's intention to protect the country's top leadership. Meanwhile, the comments to the published pictures say that the deployment of warships may be associated with the presence of Putin in the areas of Ladoga Lake.
