Details: Russian forces are using Mi-26 helicopters to deploy the air defence systems.

According to footage published by the analyst, an air defence system was installed on the roof of the Nordstar Tower business centre, located on Begovaya Street in Moscow's Northern Administrative Okrug.

Unlike the Pantsir-S1, the SMD-E combat module does not feature 30mm autocannons.

The system is armed with two types of missiles: standard 95Ya6 missiles with an engagement range of up to 20 km, and smaller TKB-1055 missiles designed to intercept small-sized targets.

The TKB-1055 missiles can engage targets at distances of up to 7 km and at altitudes of up to 5 km.

Its radar suite includes a surveillance radar with an active electronically scanned array and a detection range of up to 24 km, along with a 1RS2-1 millimetre-wave radar.
