Analysts have suggested that if such forces are protected by the residence of the Russian leader in Valdai, then it is likely that the same situation with the protection of other Putin's palaces and his environment. The residence of the Russian President Vladimir Putin on Valdai, which is located 600 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, protects at least 15 ZDCRA "shell" and the C-400 system. About it writes Defense Express.

"We can assume that the real outfit of forces for direct protection of only this one residence of Putin on Valdai consists of 15-16 units of ZDGK" shell ", which are located around the perimeter, as well as a complete anti-aircraft missile regiment on the C-400 material. Such conclusions analysts have made on the basis of updated satellite images of the area where the residence of the Russian President is located.

"If the C-400 was placed there earlier, because there is a point of permanent deployment of the 42nd anti-aircraft missile regiment of the Russian Federation, which began to receive these new SCRs since 2022, then a real network was created for" shells "," the article reads. Analysts noted that the enhanced perimeter of protection against Ukrainian drones on Valdai began to be erected in December 2023.

Thus, in the pictures of the positional district of C-400 and one of the SDGK "shell" of November 3, 2023 and on July 8, 2024 shows the difference in the landscape and buildings. "The position of the C-400 was significantly expanded, received new buildings for calculations and Flakturm for the SDGK" shell "-a special building for the placement of a complex at an altitude of several tens of meters,"-experts emphasized.

Similar Flakturm-and were noticed around Putin's residence, with the distance between them only a few kilometers. But not all of these designs were completed as of April and had aircraft installed. "At the same time, it is only about air defense in this area and it is possible that at a distance of 20-50 km from Valdai is another perimeter of air defense," analysts emphasized.

Defense Express said that the protection of Putin's residence around Valdai would be enough to cover two Russian Belgorods, which are constantly attacked by Ukrainian drones. Analysts also suggested that if such a powerful air defense area was created around Putin's estate on Valdai of more than 600 km from Ukraine, then most likely the similar forces were deployed around other palaces and residences of the Russian leader and his closest associates.
