Madyar explained which air defense systems Russia uses to protect Moscow
Following a massive attack by Ukrainian drones on Moscow, Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, discussed the specifics of Russia's air defense system around the Russian capital.
This was reported with reference to his post on Telegram.
According to him, Moscow is protected by dozens of air defense systems capable of simultaneously launching over 700 missiles. At the same time, as "Madyar" noted, even such a dense defense system has vulnerabilities that Ukrainian drones were able to exploit.
According to "Madyar," following the attack, Russian authorities are attempting to maintain an "information blackout," combining censorship with a display of "business as usual." He also commented ironically on the Kremlin’s reaction to the strikes on the Russian capital.
“Pelmen, having taken a direct hit, turned on the perch,” he commented.
The SBS commander stated that Moscow’s air defense system is supported by over 100 launchers of the S-300, S-400, and S-500 systems, as well as more than 50 “Pantsir-S1/S2” anti-aircraft missile and gun systems.
According to him, the system’s combined simultaneous salvo can exceed 700 anti-aircraft guided missiles.
"The greatness of an empire ends where the simple mathematics of systemic deep strike begins," Brovdi wrote.
He also stated Ukraine’s intention to continue building up its long-range strike capabilities and thanked the units of the Special Forces, Special Operations Forces, Security Service of Ukraine, and Main Intelligence Directorate that participated in deep strike operations.
