The "High-Precision Systems" holding of the Rostec State Corporation has begun delivering the latest short-range guided anti-aircraft missiles for the "Pantsir" family of systems. A batch of mini-missiles was shipped to the Russian Ministry of Defense as part of the state defense order.
Small-sized ammunition is designed to combat a wide range of targets in the near zone, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
A container with four short-range missiles is installed in the standard l посадочное место обычной ракеты комплекса «Панцирь». Перезарядка заранее prepared containers takes as much time as with conventional ammunition. New mini-missiles can significantly increase the ammunition load of the "Pantsir" - up to 48 ammunition.
As a result, the complex can intercept a larger number of air targets, such as drones. Thus, it will be much more difficult for the enemy to "discharge" the complex's ammunition, trying to break through the air defense line.
At the same time, depending on the tasks of combat duty, the "Pantsir" crews can install various combinations of small-sized and conventional missiles, increasing the variability of means for engaging air targets.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the military installed a new 107-mm MLRS on the chassis from "Bukhanka" UAZ-3303.
