In a recent broadcast, the Kremlin-aligned Russian TV channel, Rossija-1, showcased some startling images taken near President Vladimir Putin’s residence located west of Moscow.
These images revealed the construction of a new anti-aircraft defense system close to the president’s Novo-Ogarjovo residence, as reported by VG. This development has also been highlighted by other Russian media outlets, including the online platform, Reportjor.
This is reported by the Norwegian media VG.
Moscow, a city already fortified with an air defense system, raises questions about the perceived threats that have led to the establishment of this new defense mechanism. Reportjor suggests that the existing air defense system in Moscow is primarily designed to counter ballistic missiles and not drones, which they colloquially refer to as “flying scooters.” The current defense system wasn’t designed with drones in mind, as they weren’t perceived as a significant threat when it was initially established.
According to Reportjor, there’s a growing concern over potential Ukrainian drone attacks. These drones are not just capable of carrying explosives but also nerve agents. The possibility of a Ukrainian drone targeting Putin directly is something that cannot be entirely ruled out, as per the media outlet.
