The Russian military has received a new modification of the Pantsir SM-SV anti-aircraft missile and gun system. This was reported by the Telegram channel "Military Informant".
The system is made on the tracked chassis GM 5970.05, with which the complex can also accompany air defense systems on the march off-road and in snow.
In addition, the Pantsir-SM-SV has two types of anti-aircraft guided missiles and has an increased kill zone. The novelty will significantly increase the capabilities of the Russian army's air defense at low altitudes and in the near zone.
First of all, the Pantsir-SM-SV will cover command posts, concentrations of our troops, and ammunition depots. According to open sources, the modification of the SAM system for the needs of the ground forces will receive missiles to destroy large targets at distances of more than 10–15 km and small-sized ammunition to intercept targets at shorter ranges.
Earlier www1.ru reported that "High-Precision Systems" handed over a new batch of Pantsir-S SAM systems to the Ministry of Defense.
