A map has appeared online allegedly showing the locations of Moscow's air defense systems. The diagram marks the positions of various complexes in different colors, according to Radio Free Europe journalist Mark Krutov, who shared a post by OSINT researcher Jembob.
According to the published diagram, air defense systems are positioned across different districts of Moscow, forming a ring around the capital. The image shows S-300 and S-400 complexes as well as radars that provide coverage for key facilities.
According to the OSINT researcher, a new S-400 air defense system has appeared in Moscow’s Izmailovo district. Other S-300 and S-400 complexes are positioned around the city to create a multi-layered defense.
At the time of publication, there had been no official confirmation from the Russian military regarding the locations of these systems. However, the map is already being actively discussed online.
It is worth noting that yesterday, Ukraine's military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov stated that Russia's air defense is unable to counter Ukrainian drone attacks.
According to him, drones face resistance only near the border, but the deeper they penetrate into Russian territory, the fewer air defense systems they encounter.
It should also be recalled that back on August 5, it was reported that Russia was building a new air defense ring around Moscow. Satellite images at the time revealed more than 15 positions.
