Note that a new Pantsir-SM anti-aircraft missile-gun system has been developed for the Russian army, in which all the shortcomings inherent in the base model have been corrected. Unlike the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system already in service, the new complex was armed with a rocket with an increased speed (up to Mach 5 against 1300 m / s of the 57E6E missile of the Pantsir-S1 complex). In addition, Pantsir-SM received a new multifunctional sighting station with an active phased antenna array, allowing it 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 striking all types of unmanned aerial vehicles.
