Moscow under drone siege? Russia deploys "Pantsir" systems on rooftops
According to footage published by military analyst Massimo Frantarelli and the Ukrainian defense portal Militarnyi, Russia has begun deploying new Pantsir-SMD-E air defense systems on the rooftops of civilian buildings in Moscow.
The system is armed with two types of missiles: standard 95Ya6 missiles with an interception range of up to 20 kilometers, and smaller TKB-1055 missiles intended for targeting small drones at distances of up to seven kilometers.
According to Militarnyi, the radar package includes an active phased-array surveillance radar with a detection range of up to 24 kilometers, as well as a millimeter-wave targeting radar.
Increasingly dense defenses around the capital
Russia first began deploying Pantsir systems on rooftops in Moscow back in 2023, after Ukrainian drones managed to reach the capital. One of the systems was even installed on top of the headquarters of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
During the war, Moscow has built an increasingly dense air-defense network around the city, reinforced with mobile fire groups and systems transferred from other regions.
In 2025 alone, Russia deployed more than 40 additional Pantsir-S1 systems around Moscow. According to estimates cited by Militarnyi, the total number of air-defense systems added around the capital since 2023 has now risen to more than 100.
