Vladimir Putin was once surrounded through Pantsir-S1 air defence missiles as he went on degree for a professional-war rally with a hire-a-crowd in Moscow lately.

Putin made an appearance at the ‘Glory to the Native Land’ rally in Moscow the previous day, hours after handing over a rambling two-hour State of the Union address.

Images taken from out of doors Moscow State College where the rally used to be held display the missile systems guarding the security-obsessed dictator, at the same time as more were noticed on nearby rooftops.

Similar air defence systems had been prior to now seen with reference to Putin apartments but by no means out of doors the university ahead of, which overlooks Luzhniki stadium the place he made a seven-minute look to rant against the West.
