Rostec State Corporation will present an updated line of air defense equipment developed by the "High-Precision Systems" holding at Dubai Airshow 2025. The main premieres will be the "Pantsir-SMD-E" anti-aircraft missile system and a compact short-range radar station designed to counter modern threats from drones.
The modular "Pantsir-SMD-E" is designed to protect industrial and administrative facilities and can be installed on the roofs of buildings and stationary sites. The increased ammunition load – up to 48 mini-missiles – ensures effective repulsion of mass UAV attacks. According to Bekhan Ozdoev, Industrial Director of Rostec's Armaments Cluster, the complex meets the global demand for increased protection against unmanned threats.
The compact short-range radar with a mass of 45 kg is capable of detecting medium-sized UAVs at a distance of at least 7.5 km, providing air space monitoring at low altitudes.
The exposition will also include:
- Airspace Control System (ACS) – detects and tracks aerial targets, including UAVs and cruise missiles, even at low altitude and low speed.
- Verba MANPADS – a means of destroying aircraft, helicopters and drones.
- Dzhigit support and launch unit – a module for Verba and Igla MANPADS, operating on the "fire-and-forget" principle and deployed in three minutes on the ground or on a car.
Also at Dubai Airshow 2025, Russian companies will present the Supercam high-speed drone, Orlan-30 reconnaissance drones, a bundle of Kalashnikov's SKAT-350M and UBB KUB-2E drones, and various modifications of modern Russian aircraft construction.
