The Tula Instrument Design Bureau (part of Rostec) has updated the fire control system software for the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system, providing for the adaptation of the system to intercept low-altitude tactical missiles and enemy UAVs.
Military expert Evgeny Damantsev noted that the RLM SOC radar detector of the complex, even before the update program, demonstrated the ability to detect SCALP-EG tactical missiles at a distance of about 10 km with the issuance of target designation to the 10ES1 optoelectronic module and the 1RS2 Shlem millimeter-wave guidance radar.
In the near future, large-scale production of modernized Pantsir-SM SAM systems should begin. They will receive more high-energy guidance radars with a reflective-type PFAR 1RS-3 with the ability to capture a target of the URS M30A1 type at a distance of 25-27 km.
In addition, the systems will be equipped with modernized hypersonic two-stage 57E6M interceptor missiles with a range of up to 40 km and the possibility of kinetic interception, and small-sized 19Ya6 missiles to counter UAVs.
Earlier www1.ru reported that an improved BTR-82A with enhanced armor protection was developed in Russia. The vehicle is armed with a 2A72 30 mm cannon and can withstand a hit from B-32 armor-piercing bullets.
