Vladimir Putin has deployed air defence systems around Moscow, suggesting the despot fears an attack from Ukraine. He has deployed lethal S-400 defence missiles to two locations in the capital, designed to destroy aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, including medium-range missiles.
Local residents say the deployments are new to the Russian capital.
The tyrant's latest move comes after two drone strikes on Russian two air bases in Saratov and Ryazan in December, both suspected to be from Ukrainian forces.
One S-400 air defence system has been deployed in fields belonging to the Russian State Agricultural University in the northwest of Moscow, while the other has been deployed to the Losiny Ostrov National Park near Sokolniki district in the northeast of the city.

Vlad is looking for a ‘Gulf of Tonkin’ moment... LBJ and the Democrats used that to justify ramping up troops, instead of advisers to Vietnam resulting in an 11 year war.
Reminds me of the bully in grade school who picked on the smaller new kid and got his rear end kicked and now is to afraid to go out to recess.
That’s what I was thinking.
Probably every capitol city in the world has anti-aircraft batteries.
Yep, he needs a “Bagdad Bob” like Saddam Hussein had.
Ukraine just needs to send a swarm of 1,000 drones, each armed with a little missile to Moscow.
Lol… The walls are closing in.
But I thought they will take Kyiv in 3 days and march to the Polish border in 3-4 weeks.
What happened?
I thought they were on their inexorable march to the Atlantic, what happened?
JFK sent in 16,000 troops, that is what really got us in after 13 years of merely having advisors.
“Yep, he needs a “Bagdad Bob” like Saddam Hussein had.”
Kremlin Bob is already posting on here.
“He has deployed lethal S-400 defence missiles”
As opposed to a non-lethal version?
I hate adjectives-for-dummys....
Waiting for them to pour through the Fulda Gap anyday now :)
Silly Vlad. He should do like Biden and put troops, barbed wire and fence around the capital.
It’s been a long time coming.
It’s going to be a long time gone.
And it appears to be a long, long, long time before the dawn.
Escalations every day. Until there are no more. This move by Russia is a response to our escalation in sending longer range missiles.
Would that Biden cared about US citizens one tenth as much.

Russian nuclear sub with ‘doomsday weapon’ disappears in Arctic
Next gen Belgorod submarine able to trigger 1,600 foot ‘radioactive tsunami’ leaves cold water base without a trace.

A high tech Russian nuclear submarine reportedly carrying a “doomsday weapon” has gone missing from an Arctic harbor where it was docked, according to media reports.
The Belgorod submarine, which allegedly can trigger a 1,600 foot ‘radioactive tsunami,’ had been stationed at a Russian base in the White Sea since July before disappearing recently.
NATO issued a warning that the Belgorod sub seemed to have vanished from the base, with officials worried that Russia may be in the process of testing its “Poseidon” weapons system, a nuclear weapon-carrying done that Russia claims has the capability to trigger a “radioactive tsunami.”
The drone when fired from the 600-foot submarine creates a 1,600-foot tidal wave that is strong enough to irradiate a coastline when it smashes into it, Russia has claimed.
I just hope to see spring again this year.
love it
The open paper specs for the S-400 claim an ability to engage down to 5 meters off the ground, the actual practical range is probably much higher.
Do you have a link for this three day thing?
