Source: Agentstvo

A Pantsir surface-to-air missile system has been installed on the roof of a residential high-rise in Moscow’s Sokolniki district, according to the Russian independent investigative outlet Agentstvo.

The system appeared atop the Dom v Sokolnikakh complex on June 5, delivered by helicopter. Agentstvo reported that it is likely the Pantsir-SMD-E modification, a variant designed to counter drones.

In late May, a similar Pantsir system was installed on the roof of the Nordstar Tower business center on Begovaya Street. That building belongs to the company Region, which is linked to Rosneft.

Moscow has been regularly targeted by Ukrainian drones in recent weeks. The most massive attack since the start of the war occurred on May 17, when three people were killed in the Moscow region and 17 more were wounded.
