In 2022, an anti-aircraft missile regiment will be formed in Khakassia, equipped with Pantsir-S missile and cannon complexes. Its personnel will be on combat duty for the air defense of the region. This was reported in the press service of the Central Military District.
"Pantsir-S" is a modern means of air defense, which our military actively uses to cover important military and civilian objects from aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and precision weapons of the enemy. It is in service in all military districts. Anti-aircraft missile gunners use this complex, in particular, to protect the Russian Khmeimim airbase in Syria. And the rocket-gun "Pantsiri-S" cover the positions of the S-400 "Triumph" air defense systems.
This unique weapon knocks down almost all modern and promising means of air attack (primarily high-precision weapons) at ranges from 1.2 to 20 km and altitudes from 15 meters to 15 km. At the same time, the speed of his rocket is 1300 meters per second. "Pantsir-S" can simultaneously fire at four targets, including land and sea lightly armored objects, as well as enemy manpower. The complex is capable of firing in motion, from a place and from short stops. Its ammunition consists of 12 anti-aircraft guided missiles and 1,400 artillery rounds.
