🇷🇺Air Defense Around Moscow: What Has Been Deployed Ahead of the May 9 Parade (as of May 6, 2026)

A detailed map of Moscow and the surrounding region’s air defense systems using only publicly available OSINT data from Twitter.

The result is 118 markers—these include both long-established positions and new air defense systems that have been actively redeployed over the past few weeks.

According to OSINT data, approximately 280 air defense systems have been deployed to Moscow. This is not merely a redeployment within Moscow, but a large-scale mobilization from remote regions of the Russian Federation.

Deployments have been specifically confirmed from (based on open-source OSINT data and photos from Twitter):

🔴Kazan (Tatarstan) — S-400, Pantsir-S1, and related equipment (launchers, radars, support vehicles).

🔴Grozny (Chechnya) — several anti-aircraft systems of an unknown type.

🔴Samara (Samara Oblast) — several Pantsir-S1 systems (photos of equipment being transported out of the region have been widely shared on Twitter in recent weeks).

🔴Perm (Perm Oblast) — two S-300 launchers and a radar.

🔴Chelyabinsk (Chelyabinsk Oblast) — air defense systems of an unknown type, likely Tor-M2.

Additionally, according to statements by President Zelenskyy and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR), systems are being redeployed from other remote regions (including Siberia, the Far East, and border districts).

Perfect timing to target various weakened Russian regions, leaving that AD in Moscow doing nothing?
