“This is a truly effective weapon”: India announced the possibility of acquiring Russian Pantsir air defense missile systems

60

The Indian press reports that during a visit to Moscow by a delegation led by Minister of Defense Rajnat Singh, among other things, the issue of signing a contract for Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and gun systems of modern modifications was discussed.

Huma Siddiqui columnist writes that it is extremely important for India to acquire this kind of military equipment. Moreover, the importance, as in the cases of other weapons, in India is now associated with difficulties on the Indian-Chinese border - in the Ladakh region, the territorial affiliation of which is disputed by the two countries.



From the material of Huma Siddiqui:

Considering its successful combat experience in the Middle East, Russia offered the Shell system to India with full technical adaptation to its needs and to create an effective maintenance network that has already been improved in working with other customers.

In particular, it is noted that with the skillful operation of the Pantsir air defense missile systems, these systems are truly effective weapons against various air targets, including strike Drones. The range of detection and destruction of targets is such that the Russian "Shells" allow you to destroy, for example, UAVs until the moment when they carry out a missile attack.

The Indian press notes that Russia is offering India technology transfer with the possibility of producing some components of the Shell shell. This is noted to be consistent with the Make in India program.

The representative of the Indian military department is quoted:

The Russian Pantsir complexes, with their high mobility and versatility of use, are what India needs to strengthen its air defense capabilities and that can withstand high-level drones threats with high efficiency. In addition, the Shells can be easily integrated into a wider air defense network and work together with the S-400, which India has requested to deliver ahead of schedule.

              You are more careful about human resources. Yes, there are plenty of people there, but not all of them are suitable as soldiers. The caste system there is still in force and the peasants, like many others, do not join the army.

          Suddenly, it suddenly became clear to them that their many years of gypsy dancing at the choice of a supplier of modern weapons (well, very modern and also not terribly expensive) left them at the time of real danger in deep ... and without what they were looking for. Only Russia can quickly (and relatively not expensive) throw something, but as soon as the tension subsides the Hindu version of the Marlezon ballet will continue.

            No one will shorten the production cycle for such a complex equipment (more expensive for themselves).
            And out of turn ... I don’t know, the live queue is already spinning for the checkpoint and there are no guarantees that the Indians will not rake one more time or another ...

            Not only inept actions, but also inferior use. And it’s time for us to start seriously warning customers that such systems work in full only when integrated into the defense complex. That is, when both S-400 and air defense and Buki aviation work together, for example.

      Top developments of Tula gunsmiths took part in the Victory Parade in Moscow. Three versions of the Shell-C1 air defense missile system were presented at the Victory Parade in Moscow. The Arctic, standard and modernized air defense missile system with the letters "SM" passed through the center of the capital.

      The Arctic version of the “Shell”, we recall, was developed specifically for the Far North. In addition to the “Shell”, the residents of the capital saw such Tula developments as the Epoh BO, the Tornado-S MLRS, and the Berezhok BMP.
