As I have already mentioned, the plan of attack on Moscow has been rejected in order not to give the impression that we want to humiliate Russia. It could only strengthen the defense. By contrast, the area of St. Petersburg, Kronstadt and Vyborg is important for the strategic situation in Europe. This way we will close the Russians to the west and eventually deprive them of any revenge.

The area is defended with two S-300 rocket batteries: one of them was recently moved to Vyborg - it controls the whole area north of St. Petersburg and the Gulf. The other one, who defended the city itself, was technically troubled and started the process of withdrawing it to the east, but we did not know how it ended or whether it was restored. Other AD defense units are mainly Buk and Striela class launchers.
