Dubai. November 14th. INTERFAX - Russia and the United Arab Emirates are discussing the modernization of the Pantsir-S1 short-range air defense systems, which were delivered to this country, said Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) of the Russian Federation.

"We are discussing with our Emirati partners the possibility of upgrading the previously delivered Pantsir-S1 missile defense systems. Modernization implies a significant improvement in the capabilities of the complex," Shugaev told reporters at the Dubai Airshow-2021 International Airshow.

"We will be able to talk about specific areas of modernization only after agreeing on the technical appearance with the foreign customer," Shugaev said.

In 2019, at an exhibition in Dubai, Shugaev stated that the UAE had ordered $0.5 billion worth of Russian weapons. Then the head of the Federal Customs Service called the joint development and production of the Pantsir-S1 complexes one of the most successful examples of cooperation with the UAE. Shugaev reported that the issue of the possible establishment of a maintenance center for previously delivered Russian-made equipment in the UAE is being discussed.

The Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and cannon complex (ZRPC) (developed by KBP im. Shipunova, holding "NPO "High-precision Complexes", "Rostec") is designed for short-range cover of civilian and military facilities from means of air attack in any weather, climatic and electronic environment day and night. The complex can protect the defended object from ground and surface threats.

The Pantsir is effective against all existing attack drones, including Turkish Bayraktars, the managing director of the Instrument Engineering Design Bureau told Interfax on November 10. Shipunova" Dmitry Konoplev.

"Very effective. There is no more effective means in the world," he said, answering the agency's question.

"Despite the development of unmanned technologies, the options and opportunities that drones will still reach and achieve are laid down in advance in the "Shell"," Konoplev said.
