Pantsir-S1M

Algeria is a traditional buyer of Russian military products, in particular, according to Western analysts, it possesses 38 Pantsir-S1 and Pantsir-SM anti-aircraft systems.

Russia is increasing the capabilities of Pantsir, a real beast in the fight against drones, through the introduction of new-generation mini-interceptor missiles. This is good news for the country's air defense

- it says in the local edition of MENA Defense.

As indicated, this innovation makes it possible to multiply the firepower of air defense systems and significantly reduce costs by adapting to modern threats, especially to UAVs, which have become ubiquitous on modern battlefields.:

The highlight of the new ammunition is its reduced size. Now each container can accommodate 4 mini-missiles instead of the standard missile defense system. As a result, the total number of them on board increases to 48, compared with 12 in the usual configuration.

This allows Pantsir to better cope with massive or coordinated attacks, especially in the face of clusters of drones.

Pantsir-SMD-E

Overloading air defenses with simultaneous strikes has become a common tactic, which is now being countered by new mini-missiles.

- it is indicated in the press.

According to the author, another advantage of the new ammunition is their interchangeability with conventional missiles. As a result, air defense missile crews can adapt the configuration of weapons depending on the nature of the tasks: heavy missiles against airplanes or helicopters, light missiles against drones or low–signature weapons. At the same time, the recharge time remains the same.

Thus, the Pantsir, which has already been tested in several theaters, such as Syria or Ukraine, receives an additional tool to increase its potential and deter asymmetric attacks. This is good news for large users of the complex, such as Algeria, Iraq or Serbia.

- the author gives his assessment.
