Vladimir Putin and Alina Kabaeva, whose Valdai bunker home is now ringed by more than 50 surface-to-air missile sites at a reported cost nearing £1billion.Vladimir Putin's Valdai bunker home in the Novgorod region, where fewer than 100,000 people live nearby — yet the complex now rivals half of Moscow's total air defence coverage.
More than 50 surface-to-air missile sites now ring Vladimir Putin's Valdai bunker home in the Novgorod region. The bill for weapons, crews and kit could reportedly near £1billion. Fewer than 100,000 people live around the palace, against 20 million in the Moscow region. Putin, 74, reportedly lives there with lover Alina Kabaeva, 43, and their two young sons.
The 15 newest towers form a line 31 miles south of the sprawling complex.
One missile launcher tower stands just 1,312 feet from the Valdai bolthole.
Kyiv denies any plan to strike the residence despite stepping up long-range attacks.
