Moscow turned into a fortress; Putin has made a shocking decision PHOTO/VIDEO

What for decades was a demonstration of Russian military power will look completely different this year, according to Blic, which adds that the Russian Ministry of Defense has made a radical decision: there will be no heavy military equipment on Red Square on May 9.

This means there will be no “Armata” tanks, S-400 missile systems, nuclear-capable missiles, etc., with the official reason cited as the “operational situation.”

Unofficially, as reported, Moscow does not want to risk its most advanced military equipment becoming a “sitting duck” in the middle of the capital.

There will still be a parade on foot, with more than 10,000 soldiers marching through the streets of Moscow, but the sky and ground will be under an “invisible” blockade.

Zelensky: We can strike the parade

While Putin’s generals are adjusting their plans, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that drones could reach the Victory Day parade.

Moscow as a fortress: signal disappears, air defense everywhere

Meanwhile, a state of total paranoia is prevailing in Moscow. Residents have been complaining for days about disruptions in mobile internet and GPS navigation, which is a direct consequence of powerful electronic warfare systems designed to ‘blind’ Ukrainian drones.

‘Pantsir’ air defense systems have been deployed on key buildings in the city center.

In addition, the city center has already been ‘sealed off,’ and security checks are stricter than ever.

At the same time, the Russian security service FSB is combing through every suspicious movement, fearing ‘sleepers’ and sabotage groups within the city itself.

This drastic change came amid panic over Ukrainian drones that broke through defenses and struck a luxury residential skyscraper just seven kilometers from the Kremlin.
