Russian Upgraded Pantsir air defense system features higher striking efficiency

“The Pantsir S1 missile system is a mobile platform that provides point air defense,” former US Marine-turned geopolitical researcher and writer Brian Berletic told Sputnik in a recent interview. “Throughout recent conflicts we’ve seen it intercept a number of munitions, from drones and cruise missiles to ballistic missiles and even HIMARS guided rockets. It is a testament to the capabilities of Russian air defense, acknowledged by even Western analysts as the best in the world.”
