Navalny’s associates shared a photo of the self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon plonked in the middle of the mountains in Krasnaya Polyana overlooking the snow-capped peaks.
Putin’s top-secret luxury ski lodge – where he is believed to winter with his gymnast mistress Alina Kabaeva – is said to be located less than one mile away.
According to information released by Navalny’s team and translated by The Sun Online, the property contains extraordinary luxuries such as crystal lamps, caviar plates and £1,000 blankets.
The 41,000-square-foot mansion boasts its own cryo chamber, a helipad, several Finnish saunas, a private ski lift, a pantry dedicated to pickles, and a steam room, according to Navalny Live.
The mystery property is owned by state-owned energy giant Gazprom – but it’s said to be Putin’s secret residence where he goes skiing with former Olympian Alina, 39.
Russia’s hardman leader is reported to be worth £160bn and is said to live like a king on his extraordinary wealth, with some suggesting he is one of the world’s richest men.
His critics claim he has amassed a huge personal fortune and owns a fleet of yachts, cars and secret presidential palaces.
Navalny Live believe the sprawling estate in Sochi belongs to Putin as it has the same rooms and a similar set-up to the Russian tyrant’s other boltholes.
Like this other secret palaces, it’s thought paranoid Putin could be using the remote properties to hunker down with his mistress as his shambolic invasion of Ukraine rages in.
According to the report, chalet “Achipse” was built for him during the Winter Olympic Games in 2014.
Hidden from prying eyes by the mountains, the mansion itself sits on a plot of 49 acres of land, with two homes and guesthouses for staff.
The main property has four floors, including two underground.
According to Navalny Live, one of the houses on the estate contains Swarovski crystal-clad lamps worth £5,000, a £60,000 piano, a £1,000 goose down blanket, and a shoe cleaning machine worth £7,200.
The list of Putin’s purchases also included a £6,550 heated banquet cart, a £5,000 clock, a £500 caviar plate, a £560 electric boiler, a £750 leather bin and a £539 napkin holder.
Navalny’s team obtained what they claimed to be the blueprints for Putin’s property, revealing a four-storey building, with two of the floors located underground.
The floorplans show various food preparation stations, including egg and vegetable processing rooms, walk-in refrigerators for meat and fish, and a pantry for pickles.
The basement is home to a spa, complete with a pool, salt and steam rooms, and Finnish-style and herbal saunas.
There’s even a hydromassage bath, and a selection of hot and cold plunge pools.
According to reports, the residence has a radar system that can track drones, bugs hidden in the walls, and pipe bombs.
Navalny’s team said the Pantsir missile system – designed by Russia – matches the one at Putin’s other residences and boltholes around Moscow.
In January, Pantsir missile systems were also spotted near two of Putin’s residences in the city of Valday and Novo-Ogaryovo estate.
Air defence systems have also been put on the rooftops of several buildings in Moscow.
Guy McCardle, managing editor of Special Operations Forces Report, told Newsweek: “There’s no way he does not have both defensive and offensive capabilities near his many residences or anywhere he will be spending a substantial period of time.
“They are there to protect him and his family.
“As a part of a coordinated air defence system, I think these would be extremely effective at knocking drones, missiles, helicopters and even fighter jets out of the sky.”
According to Russian media outlet Meduza, Putin officially has three residences – not including the Kremlin.
Multiple properties have been linked to the Russian leader in recent years – and the palaces are often located in remote locations.
According to reports, Putin is said to be living with his gymnast girlfriend and their kids in a luxurious mansion near Moscow.
The 13,000 square feet property on Lake Valdai, built entirely from wood in the style of a Russian dacha, is reportedly home Kabaeva.
The Russian leader is believed to have bought her a property empire valued at £100million using a slush fund in Cyprus, Russian investigative site The Project claimed.
Pictures of the mansion, leaked by a construction executive, reveal its luxurious interiors, which are said to have been inspired by Putin’s love for his hometown of St Petersburg and its eighteenth-century Hermitage Museum.
Reports about the existence of the villa first emerged in 2021 by the team of Navalny, who said that budget funds were used to lease the property from Kovalchuk.
Navalny’s team also previously alleged Putin owns a £1billion Black Sea palace at Gelendzhik – which included a red velvet pole-dancing boudoir and a casino.
Another close Putin friend, billionaire Arkady Rotenberg, 69, later claimed the property was his.
