The tower with the air defence system is clearly visible in recent Google satellite images taken on 6 May 2024. The image history on Planet.com over the past few months shows that this air defence position near Putin's Valdai residence was installed in March 2024.
Russian media posted a photo of another Pantsir air defence system in January 2023 that was installed near his residence in the village of Yashcherovo in the Valdai area.
