the latest russian anti-aircraft missile and gun system "pantsir-sm" has radically improved capabilities to combat a variety of air targets.
if the production version can destroy the enemy at a distance of up to 20,000 m, then thanks to improved sighting equipment and more advanced missiles, its range increases to 40,000 m. at the same time, it will reach the enemy object at an altitude of 15,000 m at its maximum speed of up to 2000 m / s.
to combat small-sized drones, compact, but highly effective, missiles have been introduced. Vehicles with such weapons were first demonstrated this year at the Victory Day Parade.
the car chassis has also been updated. the current kamaz-6560 will replace the k-53958 "tornado" (8x8), which has an armored cabin, 450-horsepower engine, automatic transmission, which will significantly improve the characteristics of mobility and protection of the crew.
according to military experts, the " pantsir-sm "will not only take its rightful place in the air defense of russia, but will also be in demand in the armies of foreign countries, as it surpasses all foreign models in its characteristics.
