Three Pantsir-S1 air defense systems have been installed on buildings around the Kremlin

Russian authorities have installed a Pantsir-S1 SAM on the top of another building in the Moscow city center.

A photo capturing the anti-aircraft weapon was published by the SOTA telegram channel.

This time, Pantsir was raised to the top of the building hosting the Main Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in Moscow at 38 Petrovka Street.

This is the third case confirmed by photos and videos of air defense systems being installed in the city center of the capital of the aggressor state.

The OSINT analyst with a Twitter account under the nickname Evergreen Intel outlined the layout of Pantsir-S1 SAM deployment, which was reported over the past week. It demonstrates that the fire sectors of 30-mm autocannons of all three systems (up to 4 km) cover the Kremlin. The headquarters of the Russian authorities is actually located in the very center of the coverage zone, which was created in downtown Moscow.

Previously, one air defense system was installed on the building of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on 19 Znamenka Street.

Another SAM was deployed on the top of the Moscow Central District Department of Education at 2a Gonchara Passage.

Pantsir-S1 is a Russian ground-based self-propelled anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). It is intended to provide point air defense against aircraft, helicopters, precision munitions, cruise missiles, and UAVs.

It is armed with the twin 2А38М 30mm autocannons and 12 57Е6-Е missiles.
