And another Pantsir destroyed in Syria by Turkish drone. I'm really suprised how badly Pantsirs perform against those drones, especially if one considers that Turkey is probably using drones armed with MAM-L which has only 8km range.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uxuLQLHH8s&feature=emb_title


Yet another video provoking thoughts. Lets us understand - what really we see on this video. There is a vessel that looks like Patnsir. There are deep wheel tracks on some weak soil (tillage?). The SAM does not fire.
To thoughts. As we know Pantsir ammunition are 12 missiles and 1400 30-mm shells. Based on experience Pantsir already downed not only UAV, even 122-mm rocket projectiles (see Lybia, Syria). So, ANKA and Bayrakat TB2 are not hard target for Pantsir. From here it follows logically that SAM already shoot all their ammos and would have to down one or more UAV. Why we don't know about such events? May be video is fake?
Lets assume it's not fake. Single unarmed SAM was destroyed. Why SAM is single, why reloaded SAM is not covered by another SAMs? These are questions to operators, not to technical characteristics of SAM.

And another thoughs inspired by deep wheel tracks. As I know Pantsir has any difficulty with cross-country. Moreover high center of gravity keep Pantsir out of sharp turns.
Result could be bad:
But on the video turn is near 90 degree... May be video is fake?

This system works in many contexts and the international sales to non typical Russian customers endorse it.
Are Brazil UAE just buying expensive stuff for the sake of it without trials and tests?
Russian sources have acknowledged issues with detecting small UAV and the radar, hence the improved Pantsir SM.
The vast majority of the videos of Pantsir being destroyed show systems that appear to have missile tubes and gun barrels pointing toward the ground, not elevated or even orientated toward a threat.
Plus there is no verified context time line or date.

Fire 13 missiles plus decoys at the right moment at a weapon system defending itself with 12 missiles and no 30mm left and the maths is simple.

Pantsir not working is more about timing tactics and logistics than the system itself.
IMHO etc

Thanks for posting that. A lot of players are following the developing situation in Syria and more specifically the Pantsir. No one seems to know how to use that weapon system and it appears to be a death trap to be anywhere near it. If the reports and vids are accurate ... who knows at this point.

Says ZvezdaTV? Pantsir actually has huge problems with detecting slow flying UAVs and that's the reasons there is now Tor deployed to guard Khmeimim AB in Syria.

If we look at Pantsir's surveillance radar:

we will see that it detects targets with radial speed from 30 m/s to 1000 m/s. Meaning the minimum speed of the target has to be 108 km/h. During trials in Russia they shoot down drones flying with 200 to 300 km/h - in those cases yeah it works as advertised. But slower UAVs turned out to be a big problem. For example the Turkey's main armed drone Bayraktar TB2 has a cruise speed of just 130 km/h. Obviously it can fly slower than that which is dangerously close to the Pantsir's minimum. Besides even with 130 km/h it just needs to fly at angle >33° relative to the Pantsir in order to be under the minimal threshold and is in such scenario simply "invisible" for the operators inside the Pantsir... That's how you get close and circle above it (in it's blind zone) without being detected.

And about the guns - it's common knowledge that the gun's accuracy against anything smaller than a fighter jet is absolutely terrible. It's no wonder the Syrian Pantsir didn't try to use gun against the Israeli's Delilah missile that destroyed it after missing with 2 missiles before that. The guns can't even shoot down UAVs on shooting ranges, there are videos about it from Russia...

No need to be fanboys that are incapable of critical thinking - the Pantsir S1 is not a Wunderwaffe which can only be destroyed if it's out of ammo already after shooting down everything that was thrown at it with 100% accuracy...

We are discussing or trading barbs?

Your calculations is right. But for boundary conditions. This is about cruise speed of UAVS. And you right that Pantsir has some disadvantages. Albeit low speed limit value I saw for new S-band radar, not for 1RS1-E which mounted on Syrian Pantsirs. Moreover radial speed from point of attacked SAM could be below than detected speed, but from point of covering SAM - doesn't. So once again - why SAM is single?

Far from it and that's why you won't find many people claiming it had to be out of munitions or offline if it was destroyed - other cases are unthinkable. Which is kind of what both of you were implying.

It's either Syria or Libya, how many can there be? If it's Syria there are like what 30 left, unknown amount of which are combat ready and lots of strategic objects to cover - mainly in south Syria ofc where IAF mainly strikes.

My discussion point, admittedly poorly made, was only that Pantsir isn't infallible but isn't junk either.
From the You Tube clip:
It's a discussion point that the missiles being fired by the Pantsir as the Delilah(*?) closes in appear to be going off course at launch and make an interesting comparison to the straight line of missiles being fired on a range?
If the missiles don't hit what they're fired at then you run out of ways of defending yourself quickly.

Plus with an admittedly cursory search of images this was the only one with a Pantsir actually unequivocally firing as its destroyed.

Back to news on the same theme at least my point isn't as bizarre as this from RG! 😁 ROLAND really?

The Marine Corps wants to use the ground-launched cruise missiles primarily as long-range anti-ship weapons.
https://t.co/qnblPrwx35

quote:

One possibility for the Marines could be adapting its M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launchers in some way to fire MST missiles. However, the two weapons that HIMARS is presently capable of firing, 227mm artillery rockets and Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) quasi-ballistic missiles, are both substantially shorter than Tomahawk.

Separately in his testimony before Congress, Commandant Berger said that the Marines planned to integrate a ground-launched version of the smaller, shorter-range Naval Strike Missile (NSM) anti-ship cruise missile onto a derivative of HIMARS called the Remotely Operated Ground Unit Expeditionary-Fires (ROGUE-F). The present concept for ROGUE-F consists of a HIMARS launcher mounted on an unmanned chassis derived from the 4x4 Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) tactical truck.

This mirror is not large enough for 2.5m resolution from GEO, for that you would need a 8m diameter, which would have to be deployable since it is larger than chinese rocket fairings. I would eyeball this mirror between 2m and 3, which still would give an unprecedented resolution of 10 to 7 meter from GEO.

Interesting observation. Maybe it could also be used as part of a segmented, multi-mirror observation satellite to reach those rumored specs? But anyway, 10 meters resolution from GEO is already very usable for naval surveillance missions.

USMC wish to change its structure to be more lighter and reactive units with UAS and anti-ship batteries. To me it feels like USMC wish to conduct area-denial missions to counter area-denial from PLAN side.

quote:

The heaviest cuts, Benson said, come to aviation and heavy ground units.
“By the year 2030, the Marine Corps will see complete divestments of Law Enforcement Battalions, Tank Battalions and associated Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), and all Bridging Companies. Additionally, the Corps will reduce the number of infantry battalions from 24 to 21; artillery cannon batteries from 21 to 5; amphibious vehicle companies from 6 to 4; and reduce tilt rotor, attack, and heavy lift squadrons,” he said.


I used to joke to my friend who is USMC armor veteran (ex M1A1 crew) that USMC will never gonna have M1A2 SEP. But now that joke is about to be realized. Kinda feel sorry to him, I jinxed it XD
