In Russia's Kamchatka region, local authorities are making preparations for potential drone attacks, despite the region's distance of 7,000 kilometers from Ukraine. The governor of Kamchatka has been assigned the task of assisting the regional branch of the Unified National Center's operational headquarters, which coordinates responses to UAV threats.
Earlier, the region agreed to buy radar equipment to safeguard energy and fuel infrastructure. This decision was formalized through Kamchatka regional government Resolution No. 471-P, dated September 24, which was reviewed by The Insider. The governor's regulations were updated to incorporate the support of the regional segment of the operation center responsible for UAV attacks.
The Insider could not locate a separate public document establishing a specific headquarters for Kamchatka. Prior to the resolution, governor Vladimir Solodov visited Tula Region to inspect UAV protection systems. Consequently, Kamchatka will purchase radar equipment produced in Tula to shield its energy and fuel facilities from drone assaults.
The regional administration emphasized the need to ensure readiness against any threats and emergency situations in this strategically important area. Similar systems are implemented in other Russian regions, such as Khakassia and North Ossetia, which have varying roles, including identifying sites requiring protection, organizing detection and interception systems, and coordinating agencies involved in countering drone attacks.
However, Kamchatka's official documents do not indicate a specific or imminent threat to the peninsula, merely highlighting the region's preparation for potential drone attacks.
