Russian air defense can combine radars, missile systems, and machine gun installations into a single system, where different assets sequentially cover different lines of air defense. The new scheme was announced by the "High-Precision Systems" holding of the Rostec State Corporation, showcasing a combination of SKVP, "Pantsir" systems, TKB-1167, and "Verba" MANPADS on the "Dzhigit" mount.

The first link in this architecture is the Airspace Control System (SKVP), which detects and classifies aerial targets. Information from it allows the use of missile systems at long ranges, and closer to the protected object, short-range interception means are connected.

For the missile line, Rostec offers the mobile "Pantsir-S1M" and the stationary "Pantsir-SMD-E". The latter was created taking into account the threat of mass use of drones and can use up to 48 short-range interception missiles instead of 12 standard missiles on the combat module, which increases the complex's capabilities in repelling an attack by a large number of small targets.

At the last line, it is proposed to use the TKB-1167 system with autonomous detection and tracking of aerial targets. Its machine gun armament is designed primarily for small-sized drones, and the coverage of missile systems is supplemented by "Verba" MANPADS crews, which can be placed on the support-launcher "Dzhigit".
