Anti-drone nets have been installed along a road about 9 km from Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin's residence in Valdai. An expert believes the measure is intended to protect the Russian leader from a repeat of a Ukrainian special operation.

Details: Journalist Oleg Kashin reported on the evening of 7 June that nets had been installed above lorry parking areas in the Valdai district of Novgorod Oblast. Analysis by Agenstvo indicates that the nets are located about 9 km from Putin's official residence in Valdai. Such nets are used on the front line and can protect against small UAVs or munitions dropped from drones.

Leviev suggested that the anti-drone nets near Putin's residence are not intended to protect lorries from drones but rather to prevent a repeat of Operation Spiderweb, during which UAVs were launched from lorries.
