Crews of anti-aircraft missile and gun systems (ZRPK) "Pantsir" began to use new anti-aircraft guided missiles TKB-1055, created specifically to destroy small drones.
The target engagement range increased from 20 to 30 km and the altitude from 15 to 18 km. The volume of the protected area as a whole has increased by 3 times.
A modernized transport and launch container for four missiles was developed for the TKB-1055, which can be installed in place of a standard one with one full-size ammunition. Thanks to this, "Pantsir" can carry up to 48 anti-drone missiles.
Depending on the tasks of combat duty, the "Pantsir" crews will be able to install different combinations of conventional and small-sized missiles, increasing the variability of means for engaging air targets.
Earlier www1.ru reported that T-80BVM tanks stopped "flying": they began to be used in a new way.
