According to Damantsev, the "Pantsir-SMD" will also be able to more effectively counter the AGM-154E multi-purpose tactical cruise missiles, which are equipped with F-16AM fighter squadrons.

Earlier, experts at the TsAMTO called the Russian Su-57 the most combat-tested fifth-generation fighter in the world.
