Russian troops in the military operation zone in Ukraine began using modernized Pantsir-SM anti-aircraft missile and weapon systems. This was reported by TASS with source reference.
As the agency’s source noted, these air defense systems show significantly increased combat effectiveness in relation to the basic version of the complex – Pantsir-S. Their main advantage is that they have a wider range of detection, tracking and destruction of targets. Including complex ones such as mini-UAVs, guided artillery shells and high-speed ballistic targets.
According to open data, as the agency writes, Pantsir-SM received a new target detection radar with a phased antenna array with improved characteristics in terms of detection range of air targets, noise immunity and resolution.
