Es könnte wohl sein, dass man in Moskau die Bedrohungen durch ukrainische Drohnen oder Raketen mit entsprechend größerer Reichweite durchaus ernst nimmt. Zwar sind solche System vermutlich noch nicht vor Ort, aber nur der Hinweis, dass es irgendwann so sein könnte, hat in Moskau wohl zu gewissen Gegenreaktionen geführt (und dass ukrainische Kommandoeinheiten zudem in Russland aktiv sind, dürfte dazu auch beigetragen haben):

Zitat:Pantsir Air Defense Systems Appear On Moscow Rooftopshttps://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/pa...w-rooftops
New air defenses on top of Russia’s Ministry of Defense headquarters and another building likely point to concerns about Ukrainian strikes.
The Russian military appears to have emplaced Pantsir air defense systems on top of at least two different government buildings in Moscow, including the Ministry of Defense's headquarters. The official reason for the apparent deployments is unclear, but Ukrainian forces have demonstrated their ability to conduct strikes at extended ranges using various types of drones. There could be other explanations, including this just being part of an ostensible exercise of some kind.
Multiple pictures and videos reportedly showing the rooftop Pantsirs began to emerge on social media earlier today, but it is not immediately clear when exactly they were taken. In addition to the one on top of the headquarters of Russia's Defense Ministry, another looks to have been craned onto a building that is slightly closer to the city center and that Google Maps says belongs to the country's Ministry of Education. [...]
Pantsir uses two radars, one to acquire targets and another to direct its command-guided missiles to intercept them. It is intended to primarily provide a point defense capability against various aerial threats, including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, drones, and cruise missiles. It also has at least some ability to engage artillery rockets, mortar rounds, and bombs.
