Russia Deploys Extensive Air Defenses Around Moscow Ahead of Victory Day
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Russia has bolstered its air defence network around Moscow in response to concerns over Ukrainian drone activity, according to United24 Media. The move comes as the country prepares for its Victory Day celebrations.
The Russian defence ministry reportedly increased the number of air defence systems in the capital region, citing the need to counter potential drone threats from Ukraine. No specific units or locations were named, but officials said the deployment would be visible across the city.
The action follows a series of Ukrainian drone sorties over Russian territory in recent weeks, prompting Moscow to tighten its security posture ahead of the national holiday.
