Fear of Ukrainian missiles blitzing over capital
Moscow has forced Russia to deploy Pantsir-S1 air defense systems on the top of
several defense and administrative buildings.
The Pantsir short-to-medium-range systems are used
to defend against aircraft including drones, helicopters, and cruise missiles.
Social media was abuzz with photographs and videos
being shared showing these systems deployed on high-rise buildings. One picture
showed Pantsir installed on the roof of an eight-story building used by the Russian
Ministry of Defense (MoD) along the Moskva River. Another video showed it being
lifted on to the roof of an education building in Moscow’s Taganka district,
about 3km south-east of the Kremlin.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands joined the U.S. and
Germany in pledging Patriot anti-aircraft
systems to Ukraine.
The Moscow authorities and the Russian MoD have
yet to comment on these reports.
Earlier this week, Russian Telegram channels also
published photos of S-400 missiles systems seen near the Losiny Ostrov (Elk
Island) National Park and in the fields of Moscow’s Timiryazev Agricultural
Academy. Trees on Losiny Ostrov had reportedly been cut down to create a site
for air defense systems.
