Russia deploys Pantsir-SMD-E atop Moscow high-rise near Kremlin and Kapotnya NPC

Published 28 June 2026

Moscow OSINT community ASTRA documented a helicopter delivering what analysts assess as a Pantsir-SMD-E very short range SAM to the rooftop of the ‘Avenue 77’ residential tower in Chertanovo—roughly 13 km south of the Kremlin and 12 km from the repeatedly-struck Kapotnya refinery. The Pantsir-SMD-E is a close-in UAV intercept system. Placing it atop a occupied residential high-rise reflects mounting pressure on Moscow air defences from sustained Ukrainian long-range drone campaigns.
