The Kremlin has put Moscow maintenance workers to heaven. A few days after the Victory Day Parade, one of the most symbolic events of the Russian calendar, the authorities have ordered public service employees “Zhilishchnik” that upload to the roofs of residential buildings with prismatic to monitor airspace to possible drones attacks.
The measure is part of an express deployment that combines civil personnel, police units and anti -Didron equipment, just after several waves of unmanned artifacts reached strategic objectives in the middle of Russian capital. As reported by United24 Media, which cites the Russian environment Astra, those in charge of the maintenance brigades have already distributed prismatic among the workers and have assigned extra shifts to control the situation from the roofs.
“Everyone has to look at the sky”
In southern Moscow, one of the operators has counted that the heads received the binoculars and sent their teams to the roofs without further indications than one: watch. “Everyone has been told to look at the sky and look for drones,” he explained. The problem, admits, is that there is no protocol if one appears. The only thing they know is that, if they see something, they should call the emergency number, 112.
In the east of the city, the scene is repeated with a nuance: there have already deployed anticon equipment in the attic and joint patrols with the police have been organized. Another employee has confirmed that they have been doing extra hours and even farm porters have received binoculars. The entire device will remain active at least until May 9, when the military parade is expected to be held.
That reinforcement comes after an especially intense night. Between May 6 and 7, a Ukrainian aerial offensive caused the temporary closure of several Moscow airports, including Vnukovo, the main entrance door of foreign delegations. According to the Russian authorities, that attack included the launch of 447 drones and missiles against air bases, weapons and key infrastructure factories in the country’s heart.
