The Atesh guerrilla movement reported the information.

An Atesh agent reported that Russian forces had deployed several Pantsir-S1 air defense systems near the Ministry of Internal Affairs in St. Petersburg, "which appears quite absurd given the lack of air defense systems at the state border where a breakthrough occurred.”

The guerrillas emphasize that the most protected Russian cities are Moscow and St. Petersburg.

"To protect them, the Russian military command is even willing to sacrifice its frontline cities. And the residents of Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod will have to figure it out themselves!" the statement added.

The guerilla movement also published the coordinates of air defense systems: 60.008654, 30.241962.

  • On July 15, it became known that a second Pantsir-S1 air defense system had been installed on an island 3.7 km from the residence of Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Valdai.
