Quote: "Events in Moscow itself, or in Bryansk or Kursk oblasts, show that the enemy does not have enough air defence systems to protect its territory. And they are being forced to redeploy air defence systems from other places, in particular from the Far East.
This is a reason for the military-political command and, above all, for Russian society itself to think about what is more important to them: to place air defence systems in the temporarily occupied territories or to cover their own."
