British press: the USA seized the Pantsir-C1 anti-aircraft system in Libya

The United States seized and removed from Libya the Pantsir-C1 Russian anti-aircraft missile-gun system (ZRPK) belonging to the Libyan National Army of Khalifa Haftar. This is reported by the British newspaper The Times, citing its own sources.

According to the publication, the air defense missile system, supplied by the LNA from the UAE, was captured in July last year and removed from the territory of Libya from an airfield west of Tripoli in a fully operational state. The ZRPK was delivered by a C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft of the US Air Force to the American Ramstein airbase in Germany, where it is still located.



According to newspaper sources, in the United States, the operation to seize the anti-aircraft complex was explained by the fear that the anti-aircraft missile system could fall into the hands of smugglers. weapons and used to destroy civilian aircraft.

At the same time, the newspaper emphasizes that this anti-aircraft complex is unlikely to be of value for American intelligence, since US specialists have long studied these complexes after their delivery to the UAE. For the army of this state, Russia supplied an export version of the anti-aircraft complex on the chassis of the German MAN SX truck.

It is noted that Moscow is allegedly aware of the abduction of the ZRPK.

In turn, The Drive suggests that the Russian-made anti-aircraft complex can be used to develop tactics for dealing with the technology of a "potential enemy".

      But this is an export version with reduced capabilities, but they will definitely train at the training ground.

              hi By the way, they claim that technical documentation and ammunition have also been captured.
              It will go, apparently, to the US training grounds, where pilots will train on it to break through air defense. The same "Eglin" in Florida, for example.

                    And the fact that our Shell is radically different - the Yankees already know. Therefore, they threw it into the warehouse, and it lies there.

                Let them seize on health - this option is always provided for export products. And we will sell them to them, instead of the lost one, if only the grandmother would pay without a line. So we can protect the US Army in this way with our "Shell" if they cannot directly buy them from us. An excellent business project, we should give a hint to our figures from Rosoboronexport.

                    So I believed in this version - they cannot create their own, so they are thinking how best to implement something like that for cheap at home.
                    And why should we buy the installation if a couple of kilograms of TNT completely destroy it?

                  Have you read the history of the development of the Shell at all?
                  The serial model had the following characteristics - two guns: 2A72 and eight 57E6E missiles, as well as optical weapon control system... The export vehicle received the designation E. A characteristic feature is the foreign chassis MAN-SX45.

                  Pantsir-C1-O - 2005. Armament: 2 × 2 30 mm 2A72, 2 × 4 57E6E. With an optical weapon control system (with a single-purpose channel). There is no tracking radar.
                  Pantsir-S1E - modification for export purposes, made on the MAN-SX45 chassis. Used equipment of foreign manufacture. SAM - 9M311;

                    ZRPK "Pantsir-S" received a hypersonic missile capable of speeds up to Mach 5

                    Unlike the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system already in service, the new complex has been armed with a new missile and a new multifunctional sighting station with a phased antenna array, which allows "to see" targets at a distance of up to 75 km. The aiming range of the new complex has been increased to 40 km. The complex is capable of recognizing and hitting all types of unmanned aerial vehicles.

                      This is where you are a little deluded.
                      A missile with such characteristics is not for Pantsir-S, but for Pantsir-SM. These are very different complexes.

                Have you ever seen the documentation for the complex? Firstly, there are a lot of folders (they simply cannot physically fit into the cab) and they are all for operation, everything (no repairs). Secondly, no plant will provide the operator with technical, complete, documentation.

            No gun buyer spending millions of dollars agrees to buy a castrated gun ...
            If he is in a position with the seller on equal terms.

            Castrated came from Soviet times, when we did not sell. but simply donated weapons.
            It really was cheaper.

            Since the 90s, there is nothing castrated in the letter "E".

                  India is not a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and Missile Weapons, although it possesses nuclear weapons, Russia legally participated in the creation of Brahmos missiles, but, however, does not use Brahmos at all, uses Onyx and continues to develop the Kh-32 and other anti-ship missiles , although here he is Brahmos, it starts up quite well with the Su-30MKI, and even hits the target, but something is wrong, probably not all technical solutions take place in Brahmos, although the Indians are happy as children with a caramel cockerel

          I would like to believe, with our hands-drivers "- they will ASSESS, REMEMBER and, most importantly, IMPLEMENT
          It's funny and sad to hear about our:
          -Internet ("Red Square" - In 1959, Colonel Anatoly Kitov sent a proposal to Nikita Khrushchev, in which he outlined a project for creating a prototype of the modern Internet. If this idea were implemented, the Internet would appear in the USSR 10 years earlier than in USA..),
          - mobile-cell phones (During the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet scientist and inventor Georgy Ilyich Babat in besieged Leningrad proposed the so-called "monophone" - an automatic radiotelephone operating in the centimeter range of 1000-2000 MHz (now for the GSM standard ... + our Nobel laureate Zhores Alferov ...) and others.

      "Captured" - yeah, of course. Either stolen, or stolen goods bought. Thieves and hucksters.

      It is noted that Moscow is allegedly aware of the abduction of the ZRPK.

      not "abduction", but legally taken on the sword - the trophy has always been, is and will be "a holy deed for every soldier."
      The question is different, any sample of military equipment during its use in the database has a risk of falling into the hands of the enemy, and then an important question arises, is this technique of interest from the enemy's side, or not?
      The history of the Second World War has clearly shown, when necessary, the Katyushas were mined, and the personnel were given clear instructions if necessary to destroy the equipment at any cost.
      Pantsir-E is indeed supplied to many countries and I am sure that everyone who needs it, everyone has known about it for a long time.
      Well, for myself, I want to ask the author, from what he called the capture of equipment during hostilities "abduction", how did it affect the performance characteristics of the product or the morale of the personnel who use it, this may increase its effectiveness by 10% ?
      "Abduction" is when I stole a T-90M from the storage base in order to ride it around the mushrooms.

      The United States explained the operation to seize the anti-aircraft complex by the fear that the air defense missile system could fall into the hands of smugglers of weapons and be used to destroy civilian aircraft.
      At the same time, the newspaper emphasizes that this anti-aircraft complex is unlikely to be of value for American intelligence, since US specialists have long studied these complexes after their delivery to the UAE.

      The Russian-made Pantsir-C1 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), stolen in Libya and secretly transported to Germany, will be transported to the Wright-Patterson Air Force base (Ohio), where the National Aerospace Intelligence Center is located U.S.A. The alleged future location of the weapon is revealed by Popular Mechanics.

      The publication admits that "Pantsir-C1" will be dismantled and rebuilt, which will allow investigating the operation of this air defense system with the aim of future protection of US Air Force aircraft and their allies from Russian weapons.

      Such complexes in the Soviet Union were placed on tracked chassis, and were intended for air defense of tank and motorized rifle regiments, and how this complex will accompany if it shoots while standing still with its released paws like a truck crane, all the more so I saw on Yu-tube, like Pantsir-C1 lay down on one side (in my opinion in the Khabarovsk Territory or Vladivostok) on an asphalt road at a not very sharp turn. In my opinion, the installation of the complex on the Kamaz chassis is a corrupt deal, the owners of Kamaz, the suitcase in M.O. brought, nothing else comes to mind.
