Defense Minister Andrey Belousov announced that a comprehensive upgrade of the Russian air defense system began in April. The initiative seeks to enhance the coordination of rapid response units equipped with interceptor drones.
Officials anticipate that the improvements will become operational by November, potentially altering the balance of air operations in the region. The upgrade is part of a broader effort to strengthen air defense capabilities.
In a separate development, the Russian military released a compilation of addresses for facilities in NATO member states that it claims supply essential components used in Ukrainian drone attacks. The disclosure is intended to highlight vulnerabilities in supply chains and to justify increased defensive measures.
