Russia Has Stripped Its Regions Bare: Mock-ups Stand Under Vladivostok And Irkutsk Instead Of Air Defense Systems

The Japanese have found a gap in their defenses.

The Russian Federation does not actually cover the Far Eastern regions from possible air strikes, but only creates an appearance.

This conclusion was reached by Japanese OSINT analyst AS-22 during a study of satellite images. Instead of real S-300 / S-400 surface-to-air missile systems in the Far East, the Russians have placed their mockups.

As for the real air defense systems, they have been redeployed to the European part of the Russian Federation, according to media and blogosphere speculation.

Two mockups of SAMs were found near Vladivostok on the territory of the 1533rd Guards Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment of the Russian Armed Forces.

The same mock-ups were also spotted at the positions of the 1534th Regiment and the 24th Air Defense Missile Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, responsible for covering the Irkutsk region and Khakassia.

"The 1534th Air Defense Missile Regiment was apparently equipped with decoys modeled after the S-300PS 5P85S. Even if they were real, they still couldn't perform their functions because they have no radar," the Japanese blogger notes.

"In addition, the mock-ups are given away by the uncharacteristic placement of the launchers, as well as the absence of related elements of the complex - command posts, radars and generators.

In turn, journalists analyzing such actions of the Kremlin suggest that Russia has denuded the eastern borders and is trying to create the appearance of maintaining air defense, as it has moved real SAMs to the European part of the country - closer to the Russian-Ukrainian front.
