The latest Google Maps photos show Vladimir Putin’s residence on Lake Valdai, north of Moscow. In January 2023, it was established that the Russian president has a Pantsir-S1 air defense system in his backyard. Since March 2024, Putin’s estate has been defended by not one, but two Pantsir S-1 systems.
Putin’s villa protected by several air defense systems. Google Maps revealed the truth
The new set of anti-aircraft systems is set up 3.7 km from Vladimir Putin’s residence. You can see it yourself, just zoom in on the map. In the photos, you can see the square and the three-story platform (its shadow gives it away), on which the Pancyr S-1 system is set up. According to analysts from the Conflict Intelligence Team, the elevation could have been built to protect the area from Ukrainian drones – reports RMF FM.
Interestingly, Nexty journalists claim that thanks to Google Maps they have also identified two more anti-aircraft defense batteries in the area of Putin’s villa.
Pantsir-S1 protects Vladimir Putin. And maybe someone else
In January of this year, the VChK-OGPU telegram channel reported that the Pancyr S-1 was protecting “a particularly ‘important object’ in Valdai,” as we read on RMF FM. It turns out that this may not only refer to Vladimir Putin, but also to Alina Kabaeva. The independent Russian service “Project” reported that the house of a woman who is supposed to be the mother of Vladimir Putin’s three children is located on Valdai.
