Russia Boosts Air Defence Of Putin's Valdai Retreat With Pantsir, S-300 Amid Ukraine Drone Attacks Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence in Valdai, north of Moscow, is now fortified with multiple air defence systems, satellite imagery revealed. Earlier, reports claimed a single Pantsir system had been installed close to the Kremlin leader's palatial getaway. However, new satellite imagery confirmed the presence of at least seven of such systems distributed around the heavily guarded compound. The air defenses were corroborated by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), an American nonprofit research group. The ISW suggested the deployment is part of a strategy to protect high-value targets from increasing Ukrainian drone attacks.
