The Rostec State Corporation has presented the full range of Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and gun systems. The advanced systems were developed by the High-Precision Systems holding company.
The first among the systems is the Pantsir-S1M with three types of ammunition in its arsenal. The Pantsir-S1M has received new anti-aircraft guided missiles (SAMs), which have increased the target engagement range from 20 to 30 km and the altitude from 15 to 18 km, increasing the overall protected area by a factor of 3.
Next is the Pantsir-ME, designed for installation on warships. Its uniqueness lies in its modern radar and optical means of detecting and tracking targets. In addition, the naval Pantsir has missile and artillery armament.
The Pantsir-SMD-E is a more in-depth modernization. A special feature of the system is remote control, which can be handled by just one operator. It can be located at a distance of up to 500 m, and control is carried out via fiber optics.
The famous Arctic Pantsir-SA on the chassis of a two-section tracked transporter DT-30PM also often appears even in the middle lane. The structural differences of the combat module consist in the absence of 30-mm 2A38 anti-aircraft guns and the installation of six additional anti-aircraft missiles in their place. The total ammunition load increased from 12 to 18 57E6/M missiles.
The NATO profile committee called the Russian Pantsir-S SAM system the best in the fight against drones. The system makes it possible to fill the gap in regular air defense units between countermeasures against large-sized UAVs and systems for combating miniature drones.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Rostec revealed the features of the Malka howitzer after modernization.
