A tower for the "Pantsir" air defense system has recently been erected near the Moscow Refinery in the Kapotnya district, though the air defense system itself has likely not yet been installed on it.
This was reported by the Russian service of Radio Svoboda, according to Censor.NET.
Details
Satellite images show that construction of the tower began in mid-May in the Kuzminki area—about a kilometer from the oil refinery.
A photo taken on May 14 shows that the structure was already complete, but the "Pantsir" itself is not visible on it.
The next nearest "Pantsir" system is located in the village of Aparinki, beyond the MKAD ring road, on the grounds of the Russian Ministry of Defense’s 4th Anti-Missile Complex (Military Unit 51086).
