Russia’s Pantsir air defense system combines rapid-fire 30mm cannons with high-speed surface-to-air missiles, all mounted on a mobile platform. Officially known as the SA-22 Greyhound, the system utilizes advanced radar to track a variety of aerial targets. A key strength is its ability to engage targets while on the move, increasing its survivability and responsiveness. The Pantsir is specifically effective against drones, but also capable of intercepting aircraft and cruise missiles. This integrated approach provides a robust, short-to-medium range defense capability. Its design focuses on quickly neutralizing incoming threats in a dynamic combat environment. The system represents a significant component of Russia’s layered air defense network.
