Leningrad Region boosts air defense against drones

The governor of Russia's Leningrad Region announced measures to reinforce air defense against drone attacks following an operational headquarters meeting. The plan includes providing additional material and technical assistance to the 6th Guards Air Force and Air Defense Army and creating mobile fire groups for critical infrastructure. Reservists, including veterans of the Special Military Operation and retirees, will be recruited on three-year contracts to crew these groups while being employed at local enterprises. The regional government and critical infrastructure firms will fund vehicles, equipment, and supplies for the effort.
