The Russian military has received modernized Pantsir-SM anti-aircraft missile and gun systems. The development of the Tula Instrument Design Bureau named after A. G. Shipunov has received enhanced characteristics in terms of combating drones of various sizes, missiles, and artillery guided projectiles.
According to RIA Novosti, which refers to its informed source, the Pantsir-SM has new modern detection radars based on phased antenna arrays and tracking radars, which include an optoelectronic complex. Now the SAM system "sees" even small-sized targets at a range of up to 75 kilometers, and is capable of reaching them at a distance of up to 40 kilometers with guided hypersonic missiles.
It became known in 2022 that the Pantsir-SM was being modernized. Then, at the "Engineers of the Future" forum, the developers showed a model of this SAM system, in which the ammunition load was increased to 24 missiles. When fully loaded, the sample was capable of launching 96 missiles at the same time, repelling raids by several swarms of drones.
It was also noted that the SAM system has a new loading device that allows the crew to independently reload their combat vehicle or other vehicles in the battery. The remaining combat characteristics, which were discussed at the forum, coincide with the data from the journalists' source.
