Yes they are newest. Claiming that minor modification is generation is pure idiotism.
Idiotism is making blank statements, erroneously confusing video cameras with display monitors and not fully knowing what happened.
All changed there is better search radar. Tracking and guidance radar is same (most important part),
http://www.worldinwar.eu/pantsir-s1/
Modernized system for the Armed Forces and for export.
Incorporates news tracking radar, 2 faced radars with enhanced features and range. In service with Russia and Algeria.
missiles are same. Overall Pantsir has outdated radio guided scheme, so u can;t improve its range.
Unbelievable how you lie.....new Pantsirs have a new missile with more then double the range as well as increased detection range. Nice try.
The Pantsir-SM variant incorporates a multi-functional targeting station, increasing target detection range from 40 to 75 km (25 to 47 mi)
and engagement range from 20 to 40 km (12 to 25 mi). The system also uses a new high-speed extended range missile.
In order to drop a glide bomb u need to fly high.
No you don't, 20,000-30,000 feet is plenty of altitude to drop glide bombs which would would take around 30 seconds or less for an F-16 to reach that altitude. Once they are dropped they would take a minutes to reach their intended targets, in the mean time Israel would give their advanced "warning" of a strike at that time F-16s would already be landing, well out of Pantsir reach and not enough time or altitude for S-200 be much of a threat.
Its nonsense. It took just one missile to take out Pantsir.
Here is video screen grab from one Israeli bomb aimed at an empty Pantsir. From the other side another Israel missile impacts the Pantsir, so even from Israeli footage they use multiple missiles to attack a single Pantsir
which indicates low first hit probability but continue to make absurdities about how it's normal to use countless missiles to strike a single air defense battery.
That's lie. There is ZERO evidence that Pantsir managed to shot down any missile or bomb. Out of over thousand.
Apart from wreckage of Israeli missile I will just show this:
A missile exploded in the air and then you see an explosion on the ground which is 99% probably the Israeli warhead that failed to detonate when it was hit. Let me guess though, it's Assadist missile, Pantsir warhead magically explodes like 500lbs warhead. Other then that there is wreckage of Israeli bombs and F-16, but Syrian air defenses don't work and Israeli aircraft blitz Pantsirs with barrages of missiles for fun.
You are unbelievable ignorant. Even ancient Osa had camera.
Here is camera of Pantsir on 17:58
No you are ignorant and can't read appearently. Learn the difference between a
display monitor and a
camera.
This is my exact quote:
"There is no such thing as Pantsir cam. I doubt anyone would place video stands and camera equipment inside a crowded air defense batteries during when its under attack."
You mentioned a camera, and nothing about display monitors (don't put words in my mouth or try to wiggle your way out now) I then questioned as to why Syrians would place video cameras and equipment in a crowded air defense battery. If you read between the lines I was hinting as to why they would film their display monitors. I never denied Pantsir has display monitors, in fact I questioned why they would film them but it's amazing how poor of an argument you make and how you confuse simple terminology and then try to pin blame on me.
Besides even if Syrian wanted to show film as proof, thermal imagery has range limitations and is degraded by weather conditions. In other words sometimes range and cloud cover won't allow for a video to show any impact.
Here empty hill with couple ISIS guys hit by at least 4 guided bombs:
Its normal practice. You never served in the army its ur problem.
Again stop with the embarrassing claims. No one attacks a SAM battery with 2 or 3 missiles simultaneously if 1 will do the job. Bombing a hill side is completely different from hitting a Pantsir. On a hill side there could be groups of enemy fighters hundreds of yards apart, its necessary to use multiple strikes in those situations---not nessesary to use a million missiles on a single air battery if you are 100% confident on a first hit.
So far you proved nothing and have not shown a single video that proves its standard practice to launch multiple missiles at a single air defense battery.
Look at this, why are dumb Americans not dropping 2 or 3 bombs on this Iraqi AAA gun? Smart Israelis would have hit it with 20 missiles
In 1982 Israel faced modern Sovet multilayer SAM commanded by hundreds of Soviet officers. It was taken oyt without loses.
During Yom Kippur War Israel was surprised and lost 100 jets. Yet Arabs lost 3-4 times more. You consider it a super duper victory?
And not they were not destroyed on the ground.
You are again quoting Israeli figures, which have been known to make grand lies during war time. Also even if we take Israeli claims at face value, Israel destroyed hundreds of Arab aircraft on the ground. Nothing to do with technology but rather planning and training. Ask some Pakistani pilots about superior Israeli technology and pilots.
