דיווחים בסוריה: ישראל תקפה אתר צבאי בפרברי דמשק
כלי תקשורת בסוריה טוענים כי מטוסי חיל האוויר שיגרו טילים משטח לבנון לעבר אתר צבאי בפרברי דמשק שכבר הותקף בעבר. לפי הדיווחים, מערכות הנ"מ הסוריות השמידו שלושה טילים. בסוף השבוע הותקף בסיס איראני ליד הבירה הסורית

EXTREME TECHNOLOGY Russian Military Pantsir-S1 Air Defense System downs all flying objects

Pantsir-S1 (Russian: Панцирь-С1, NATO reporting name SA-22 Greyhound) 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 name: SA-19/SA-N-11) and represents the latest air defence technology by using phased array radars for both target acquisition and tracking.

The Pantsir-S1 was designed to provide point air defence of military/industrial/administrative installations against aircraft, helicopters, precision munitions, cruise missiles and UAVs and to provide additional protection to air defence units from enemy air attacks employing precision munitions especially at the low to extremely low ranges.[4][5]

Design[edit]
The first finished version was completed in 1995 with the 1L36 radar, later was designed another.[6] It is a short to medium range ground based air defence system, wheeled, tracked or stationary with two to three operators. Its air defense consists of automatic anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missiles with radar or optical target-tracking and radio-command guidance.

Its purpose is the protection of civil and military point and area targets, for motorised or mechanised troops up to regimental size or as defensive asset of higher ranking air defence systems like S-300/S-400. The system has capability for anti-munitions missions. It can hit targets on the waterline/above-water.[7] It can operate in a fully automatic mode.[8] It has the ability to work in a completely passive mode. The probability of hitting a target for 1 rocket is not less than 0.7 with a reaction time of 4–6 seconds.It can fire missiles and gun armament while in motion.[9] For its main radar station, early detection in height may be between 0-60° or 26-82° depending on the mode.[10] The system has claimed significant advantages over other systems, such as Crotale NG (France), Roland-3 (France + USA), Rapier 2000 (UK), SeaRAM (Germany + USA). This is not confirmed by comparative testing, but clearly follows from declared limit of possibilities of systems (2010).[11][12] Since 2013, there is a variant with two radar stations for early detection * standing back to back *.[13] The system has a modular structure which enables a fast and easy replacement of any part.

[14] After receiving target coordinates (from any source) it may defeat the target (using all the radar except the early detection radar) within a range from -5 to +85 (82[15]) degrees (vertical).[16] The interval between missile launches is 1-1.5 seconds (a world record for analogue systems).[17]

Pantsir-S1 carries up to twelve export designated 57E6 or 57E6-E two-stage solid fuel radio-command-guided surface-to-air missiles in sealed ready-to-launch containers. Missiles are arranged into two six-tube groups on the turret. The missile has a bicalibre body in tandem configuration. The first stage is a booster, providing rapid acceleration within the first 2 seconds of flight, after which it is separated from the sustainer-stage. The sustainer is the highly agile part of the missile and contains the high explosive multiple continuous rod and fragmentation warhead, contact and proximity fuses as also radio transponder and laser responder to be localised for guidance. The missile is not fitted with seeker to keep target engagement costs low. Instead high-precision target and missile tracking is provided via the system's multiband sensor system and guidance data is submitted via radio link for up to four missiles in flight. Missiles can be fired at up to four targets, but more often in salvos of two missiles at one target. They are believed to have a hit probability of 70–95% and have a 15-year storage lifetime in its sealed containers. Pantsir-S1 combat vehicles can fire missiles on the move.

Warhead weight 20 kg (44 lb)(5.5 kg (12 lb) explosive + 2,000 14.5 g fragments and rods).[39][37]
