Experts explained the shortcomings of the Pantsir missile system in Syria.Stated
About this writes "Lenta.ru," referring to the blog ru-pvo. The post states that the effectiveness of the combat use of the anti-aircraft missile-cannon complex (ZRPK) "Shell" in Syria is only 10-20% instead of 50%. This is due to problems at the stage of creating weapons. The complex, manufactured by the Tula Instrument Design Bureau (Design Bureau), was supposed to be a further development of the Tunguska air defense system. However, the plans were confused by a tender for the supply of air defense equipment from the United Arab Emirates.
“The spectacle of tracers in the night sky in the eyes of impressionable Arabs has become an insurmountable competitive advantage of the air defense system,” writes the expert.
At the same time, the UAE did not want a melee complex, butat least a short range. Therefore, the Tula Instrument Design Bureau promised to satisfy the desire of the customer. As a result, the “Shell” from a short-range air defense system “turned” into a short-range air defense system.
