Pantsir-S1

Russia's road-mobile short-range gun-missile air defense system, designed to protect high-value assets against aircraft, cruise missiles, and drones.

Overview

The Pantsir-S1 (NATO reporting name SA-22 Greyhound) is a self-propelled, short-range air defense system that merges a battery of radio-command guided missiles with twin 30 mm automatic cannons on a single wheeled platform. Its primary role is terminal defense of high-value point targets — S-400 batteries, command posts, and airfields — against fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, cruise missiles, precision-guided munitions, and unmanned aerial systems. Because all sensors and effectors are loaded onto one vehicle, a single Pantsir can autonomously detect, track, and engage multiple threats with either missiles or guns.
