The defense of Moscow has been declassified: analysts have shown the placement of air defense systems around the capital of the Russian Federation (maps)

On the map published by the author of the analysis, the complexes are marked with colors: Pantsir — green and orange, S-300 and S-400 — red, and radars and electronic warfare systems — blue. Experts note that anti-aircraft missile systems are not permanently fixed in specific positions. They are regularly moved between different points, which allows maintaining the mobility and functional readiness of air defense systems.

The most noticeable increase in the positions of "Pantsyr", which stands out on the map against the background of the possible threat of attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles. The published map also shows photos of the positions: 1-2 images show the Pantsir complexes, and the next shows the S-300 and S-400 positions. The general picture indicates a systematic build-up of air defense forces around Moscow.

More than twenty new positions were added within two months, and this emphasizes the active strengthening of the air defense perimeter and the support of the mobility of anti-aircraft missile systems and radars. Instead, a separate air defense perimeter is located around Putin's residence in the Valdai district of the Novgorod region. According to the same source, there are 13 Pantsir positions, one S-400 position and one radar system position.

As Blik reports, the publication of the analysts appeared against the background of frequent attacks by Ukrainian drones, which are increasingly reaching the territory of Russia, in particular, the areas around Moscow. In recent months, drones have repeatedly struck oil depots, factories, military warehouses and other facilities deep in the country. In response, the Kremlin is actively building up the defense system of the capital.

Modern S-300 and S-400 complexes can now be seen even on the roofs of administrative buildings in the center of Moscow. At the same time, according to the conclusions of Western experts, Russia's multi-level air defense system does not always have time to respond to attacks by small drones flying low above the ground. This shows that even the deep rear of the Russian Federation remains vulnerable to modern weapons.
