Russia Air-Lifts Pantsir Missile System Onto Moscow Residential High-Rise

The Russian military has installed a Pantsir air defense missile system on the roof of a high-rise residential building in the Sokolniki district of Moscow. The operation, conducted via helicopter on Friday, June 5, placed the platform atop the “House in Sokolniki,” a business-class residential complex. The system is the next-generation Pantsir-SMD-E variant, a modified version stripped of automatic cannons and engineered specifically to intercept miniature loitering munitions.
