Russian federation Holds Drills Focused On “Repelling Air Attacks” On Moscow

Days after popular reports that Russia  had erected   Pantsir-S1 anti-air defense techniques on top of some key structures in Moscow, which activated speculation that Russia can be expecting more attacks through Ukraine on its garden soil, the Kremlin ramped up anti-air exercises outside Moscow.

The particular defense ministry confirmed inside a Saturday  statement , “ In the Moscow area, a training session was held with the personnel of the anti-aircraft missile brigade of the Western Army District on  withstanding air attacks on important military industrial and management facilities . ”

The combat workout was centered on operation of  a  S-300 anti-aircraft missile system . “ As they marched, soldiers repelled an attack by a mock foe sabotage group on a army convoy, ” the statement continued.

“ Under the cover of a smoke screen, the air defense convoy was able to get out of the attack and continue fulfilling its tasks, ” the defense ministry said in reference to the 150 soldiers that will participated.  

Russia has endured several drone attacks upon its soil coming from Ukraine, including multiple strikes in past months on  Engels military airfield  in the Saratov region, which lies 600km deep inside Russia.

While Moscow by itself hasn’t seen any such ariel strikes, there has been  speculation that key services   in the region have been hit with  sabotage attacks   – but this has remained unconfirmed from the Russian side, that is unlikely to admit such attacks when they do happen.

As Ruskies forces  make increases   this month in the east and south of Ukraine, particularly in the southern Zaporizhzhia region along with near city of Bakhmut within Donetsk, it appears the Kremlin could be making preparations intended for possible counter-attacks directly on the soil, and as NATO countries deepen their involvement within the conflict.
