Russia Transfers Air Defense Systems from Kaliningrad to Ukraine, UK Intelligence Reports
UK Defence Intelligence suggests that Russia has moved strategic air defense systems from Kaliningrad Oblast to replace those lost in the war with Ukraine. The movements were observed through exceptional Russian transport aircraft activity in November 2023. This relocation highlights the strain the war has placed on Russia's key capabilities, as Kaliningrad is seen as a strategically sensitive region due to its proximity to NATO member states.
