A new small-sized anti-aircraft missile allows the Pantsir-S1M air defense missile system to successfully fight drones

The development of a small-sized anti-aircraft guided missile for the Pantsir-S1M air defense missile system has been completed, the missile is already being supplied to equip anti-aircraft systems. Vladimir Artyakov, First Deputy General Director of the Rostec State Corporation, spoke about this.

The new mini-missile developed for the Pantsir air defense missile system is designed primarily to destroy small-sized targets such as a drone, as well as MLRS rockets, various missiles, etc. As the representative of Rostec explained, the rocket will allow moving the near boundary of destruction to 500 meters.

For the Pantsir-S1M complex, a short-range anti-aircraft guided missile has been developed. It significantly expands the possibilities of combating mass small-sized targets. This, of course, is not only about UAVs, but also, for example, about multiple rocket launchers, anti-radar and guided missiles, high-precision weapons, airplanes and helicopters, as well as their airborne weapons

- leads RIA News Artyakov's words.

The fact that a small-sized missile was developed for the Pantsir ZRPK was reported last year. The decision was made on the basis of the experience of using the complexes in Syria, so as not to spend more expensive missiles to destroy artisanal drones. New missiles are placed in containers of four, the container itself is placed on the regular guide of the complex instead of the usual one. Thus, instead of 12 missiles, the new Pantsir-S1M air defense missile system carries 48 (forty-eight).

In addition, Pantsir-S1M received a new multifunctional aiming station with an active phased antenna array, which allows you to "see" targets at a distance of up to 75 km. The effective firing 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.

Well, God forbid .. the more the better. There was only efficiency.

[Zaurbek]

At past exhibitions, 4 pieces were shown instead of one large rocket. And a large rocket is slightly larger in radius than a standard one.

[Eug]

Can it be used on the marine version of the Shell? As for me, it would be very interesting. The use of this missile literally requires an increase in the number of guidance channels.

apparently added.

Great news! Let's get rolling!

[Snail N9]

This is good. But something mini UAVs are practically hanging in swarms over the line of contact .....

[Snail N9]

If we talk about the "Pantsir" - it is overall, it is easily detected by drones. For the front edge, you need something portable, small-sized and multiply charged ....

Dichlorvos. It's a joke, but at the mention of a hanging swarm, an association arose from a spray can to spray on a swarm.

[novel66]

Kolya! a sound idea - something like multiple jets of water from a high pressure hose, aim through the optics!

[Popandos]

In general, Pantsyr turned out very timely.
A very relevant topic of combating small-sized mass targets on the modern battlefield.

The Almighty takes care of Russia. At one time, Allah advised the UAE to finance a project to develop the Pantsir product, and was the first to get them into service. A similar story with the Terminator. - Algeria tested them in 2013, was pleased with the results, and in 2016 signed a contract for 300 units of an already improved version of the product - Terminator -2. By this, he financed further work to establish their production, despite the fact that we had complete uncertainty: too "fancy", expensive contraption, and where to place it on the battlefield ...

They involuntarily recalled the anecdote that one Arab found oil in his homeland, now it is a rich, prosperous country! We have had everything for a long time, it remains, damn it, to find an Arab!

"Thor" is more efficient and was already available, hence the conclusion: "Shell - S1M" is someone's project that is being pulled and pulled with the involvement of a huge media resource.

[Mikhail Maslov]

"Thor" has a lot of shortcomings, read an article on the site recently. The main one is few missiles.

[Igor K]

It was not enough before the modernization, which made it possible to double the ammunition load.

[BastaKarapuzik And]

Shell has a 2-stage rocket. This gives very high energy performance.
Therefore, it is tempting, the Shell rocket carries a larger explosive charge, flies further and higher, and costs less. Thor does not reach at such distances and heights, even though his rocket is more expensive.
Thor is a great system.. But it is very tempting to saddle the energy of a 2-stage launch in a combined air defense missile system, emphasizing the advantages and leveling the shortcomings of the constituent parts (missiles and guns).

[Mikhail Maslov]

I would try to develop a separate launcher for the Thor, and guidance from the main installation, and like the Pantsir, you need a missile for the UAV.

[Hey]

The question is, how quickly will these innovations massively enter the troops?

[navigator777]

It would be better if they hung more standard missiles on the Shell, the gun can be removed altogether, he doesn’t need it

[TermNachTer]

At 500 m and automatic guns shoot well. What is the meaning of such a rocket?

[Kesha1980]

In order not to wait 500 meters

Sighting range of the new complex increased to 40 km

And let's not forget about the detection - 75 km is declared.
In Ukraine, there are rehearsals on cats - then there will be more technologically advanced opponents.
But the flight speed of missiles, I think, decreases with a decrease in size. This is what I remember about spending Beeches on Hymers - expensive.

[Andy_nsk]

This is what I remember about spending Beeches on Hymers - expensive.

I don't know how much a Buk missile costs, but a Hymars missile costs $150000. Even taking into account the consumption of two anti-aircraft missiles for one target, I think that the debit and credit will converge with the Moscow Region.
It is unlikely that the small-sized Shell rocket will fit against Hymers rocket missiles - high-speed and with a small reflective surface.

[Kesha1980]

Yes, it's kind of unlikely. Although, we do not know the prices, but I doubt it. SAMs are an expensive pleasure and will be more expensive than MLRS. And frankly, if a shot for a Javelin costs about 70.000, then Hymers are hardly only twice as expensive

[Andy_nsk]

SAMs are an expensive pleasure and will be more expensive than MLRS.

Not a fact, a lot of things affect the cost, for example, the type of homing head. The simplest and cheapest with GPS guidance, much more complex and expensive - optoelectronic, "Saint Javelin" has the most complex and expensive - matrix cooled IR, and SAMs (except for MANPADS) most often have passive radar, simpler than Javelina. The cost of missiles and shells is also greatly affected by on-board electronics, especially for shells. It must withstand frantic overloads when fired, respectively, it is expensive. For missiles and other missiles, the overload is much lower and it is much easier to place electronics there.

[Kesha1980]

Hmm, in terms of overloads, right away - as far as I remember, they boasted about the speed of the ZUR, which is up to 1000 m / s the speed of the target being destroyed. Accordingly, the speed-overloads are high. I agree on the heads, and the engine can also be mentioned (just in terms of speeds) - the faster, the more expensive.

[Andy_nsk]

Hmm, in terms of overloads, right away - as far as I remember, they boasted about the speed of the ZUR, which is up to 1000 m / s the speed of the target being destroyed. Accordingly, the speed-overloads are high.

Well, when fired, the projectile has an overload of 40000g, in any way higher than that of missiles. Because Excalibur is wildly expensive, but you can intercept it, the infection, horseradish and, by accuracy, will fly into the window at a great distance.

[Sergey Tankist]

I came across information that the Hymars rocket costs $ 500000. I think it's more logical, because the Javelin one costs about $ 70000. Although, maybe the simplest and already outdated M26 rocket costs $ 150000 ...

[Lykases1]

Shoot - shoot. They just don't get in.

[TermNachTer]

That is, it is necessary to shoot a small caliber of 23 - 30 mm. everywhere? From planes, helicopters, ships

[Lykases1]

How do I know what I need. But on the ship, by the way, the effectiveness of rapid fire against anti-ship missiles is also quite mysterious

[GAF]

Quote: Lykases1

Shoot - shoot. They just don't get in.

Why did you decide that they do not fall? They have been hit in Syria since 2015, but they stopped hitting in their outskirts ...

[Lykases1]

And you watch the video of how he famously shoots them down with a cannon in Ashuluk. It has already been suggested more than once to remove them as unnecessary.

[Fizik13]

Excellent! Tested at the training ground, shown at the parade, tested in real combat conditions - now advertising! This is not an American Patriot or an Israeli dome that works 50/50.

And there is a place where you can test in combat conditions.

[Romanenko]

The Armor is growing, well done designers, gradually, step by step, the machine is becoming more and more universal, keep it up!

[Alexey-74]

Good news! The main thing is to deliver it to the NWO zone on time, now this is very important.

[senima56]

Long overdue! In order not to waste expensive rockets on all sorts of "flying homemade products"! Still shells with remote detonation and then "super"!

[D16]

In order not to waste expensive rockets on all sorts of "flying homemade"

The question is not so much about saving money, but about increasing the BC. From reducing the diameter of the booster stage by half, the price will not change much. The second stage most likely remained unchanged. Naturally, acceleration characteristics, range and height of hitting targets will deteriorate, but this is not critical in the case of fighting UAVs. The Shell missile is already "compressed" in price as much as possible. True, the Sosny rocket is most likely even cheaper.

[Igor K]

To increase the ammunition load of the Pantsir-S1M anti-aircraft missile system, it is necessary to switch to a portable vertical-launch ammunition load in guide containers of 5-10-20 pieces of various calibers.
Carry additional ammunition on an all-terrain armored off-road vehicle.
And comrades, finally teach the Pantsir-S1M cannons to fire shells with remote detonation, war is an economy, you need to reduce the cost of fire impact on enemy attack weapons.
