Interesting photos from Moscow appeared on social networks on Thursday. Anti-aircraft complexes “Pantsir” are installed on the roofs of high-rise buildings in the Russian capital, presumably, such a system is even installed on the roof of the Ministry of Defense building in Moscow.

Photos and videos that appeared on social media on Thursday show a crane preparing to be lifted onto the roof of a high-rise building on Teterynskyi Street, not far from the central square and Krasnaya Square.

Further, on the footage taken after dusk, the Pantsyr system is visible on the roof of the building.

Another photo circulating is of another Pantisr system, which appears to have been permanently installed on the roof of the main building of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The anti-aircraft complex “Pantisr” is one of the most modern means in the arsenal of the Russian army

Anti-aircraft complex “Pantsir” is one of the most modern types of weapons in the arsenal of the Russian armed forces, a mobile, wheeled, autonomous complex with its own radar, which is based on both powerful guns and missiles for intercepting air targets.

The Pantsir system’s main surface-to-air missiles have an average range of 20-40 kilometers, but there are more advanced systems, such as the Pantyr missile defense system, which can hit targets at a distance of up to 75 kilometers.

The Pantir system was developed to protect military, industrial or administrative facilities from air attacks using high-precision munitions.

Most of the Panther systems entered service with the Russian military between 2008 and 2013, and new models began to be developed in 2019. They are one of the most modern types of weapons in the Russian military arsenal.
