After the beginning of 2023, for the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation began felling on the lesin island, in the fields of Timiryazivsky Agricultural Academy, in the security zone of the Kolomenske Museum-Reserve. The first two objects of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have already placed anti-aircraft missile complexes C-400. "This for the protection of Moscow" says the patrol officer, pointing at the Moscow Agricultural Academy of Timiryazev.
It is noted that there were no official applications for the placement of the C-400 in the Moscow area, also there were no information boards near the objects under construction, which is a mandatory requirement in the Russian Federation. At the same time, the funds of the air defense are set next to residential buildings. To the nearest house near the agricultural compartment about 200 meters on the street of the Great Academic. The same SCR was placed in the Lossyan Island Park.
And it is also 200 meters from residential buildings. At the same time, Russian telegrams channels are called the factory facility in the Losina Island area, as it is dangerous. They claim that the C-400 is not in combat, so they believe that it is a temporary parking lot. However, the authors of the publication noted that now half of the complex is just in the combat deployment together with the RLS station and the combat management point.
The reserve is forbidden to be cut down, but the management answered the activists that the work was "to ensure national security and defense of the Russian Federation". However, the greatest damage to the ecology, according to the media, was caused in the district of Kuryanovo in the southeast of Moscow. There, under the secrecy, a huge forest on the left bank of the Moscow River was cut down. The air defense will be placed in place.
To do this, 100 hectares of forest were cut down on an area of more than 2 km. "There will be 10 platforms that will occupy 55 hectares. At least one of them will be posted by air defense," - says the employee of "GBU Highway". However, all the attempts of the locals to find out what was happening, the authorities did not answer. Only on the social network "VKontakte" the deputy of the State Duma Svitalan Rivorotnova wrote that in fact no relict forest was in Kuryanovo and all this fake.
The works are allegedly in the ordinary industrial zone. Journalists also found deforestation in the Izmaylovsky Forest Park 500 meters from the metro station with the same name. The forest, which is part of the UNESCO list, was cut down near Kolomensky, jeopardizing the value of the object. We will remind, on March 1 in Moscow installed the mobile station of the radar "Prima" to ensure the work of funds of air defense.
