In Moscow, the movement of long-range S-400 air defense systems was noticed, which will probably be used to protect the parade on Red Square on May 9. A photo of the movement of the equipment was published by the Telegram channel “Ezh”.

This may indicate the transfer of additional anti-aircraft systems to the Russian capital to cover up a significant event for the Russian regime against the backdrop of increased Ukrainian drone and missile strikes.
At the same time, several positions of S-400 complexes have already been deployed in Moscow itself, so it is impossible to say for sure whether the photo shows additional systems or movements between the positions of complexes that are already on duty.

As military journalist Andriy Tsaplienko reported, anti-aircraft systems were transferred, in particular, from Kazan and Grozny. The defense of the Russian capital was built in several echelons.
According to him, Moscow's entire air defense system is built in several echelons. The first echelon is for detection. The Don-2N radar station is used for this purpose. Mobile radars Nebo-M, Gamma-S1, and Kasta operate around Moscow. The second is for intercepting strategic threats.
The third is long-range air defense. The S-400 covers approaches at a distance of up to 400 km. The fourth is close combat. The Pantsir-S1 and Tor-M2 systems are located not only in the Moscow region, but also in Moscow on the roofs of buildings and on mobile platforms.
