The Russian 96K6 Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system (SAM) intercepted a low-visibility, low-altitude UJ-26 Beaver kamikaze drone. The drone, which has an effective reflective surface of about 0.07 sq. m, was detected by the 48Ya6-K1 Podlet-K1 low-altitude detection radar at a distance of about 37 km. This was reported by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
The Podlet-K1 radar took the aerial target for tracking and issued target designation to the Pantsir-S1 SAM system crew. At a distance of 15 km, the UJ-26 Beaver was detected by the radar module with the new S-band target detection station (SOC) of the Pantsir-S1 complex. The SOC was developed at the Tula Central Design Bureau of Instrument Engineering (TsKBA).
After that, the "Beaver" was taken for tracking by the 1RS2 "Helmet" guidance radar and the 10ES1 multispectral optoelectronic module. At a distance of 12 - 10 km, a high-speed 57E6M SAM was intercepted.
