The
Pantsir-S1 is a combined short to medium range surface-to-air
missile and anti-aircraft artillery weapon system produced by KBP of
Tula, Russia.
The
system is a further development of 2K22 Tunguska (NATO reporting

by using phased array radars for both target acquisition and
tracking.
The
Pantsir-S1 was designed to provide point air defense of
military/industrial/administrative installations against aircraft,
helicopters, precision munitions, cruise missiles and UAVs and to
provide additional protection to air defense units from enemy air
attacks employing precision munitions especially at the low to
extremely low ranges.
