RT and Sputnik are so cringey that even a good pun gets ruined when its coming from them.Why don't you just admire that pun ? That must be one of the best I've ever seen.
Depends upon the employment of the asset. A pantsir on its own without connectivity to a AD network and other LOMAD systems is pretty vulnerable.
Which would be fair, if not for the fact that the Syrians haven't had the pantsir system for too long, nor have they had the time to properly test and train with it.
Pantsir is in Syrian inventory since 2007... I think 13 years is enough of "Training" added to that almost 6 years being next to Russian "trainers"...
I was under the impression that the current syrian army is mostly made of conscripts, and foreign mercs, all of whom wouldn't know how to use advanced weapons systems.
well , I dont call PESA radar weak , in fact when I look at Syria I see AESA radar of Pantsir and 9К317E Buk-M2E have more trouble with targets than PESA radar of TOR system . to be honest its an strange trend there and an intresting one something to think about.
Specific system operators did not get hurt, injury or lose too much in syrian conflict at least not that much like other branches. so we can assume that syrians have their system operators in good number. the problem is mostly Russian equipment, they are outdated , for example when i see Panstir fire its guns it cant target anything because of recoil , compare it with Turkish KORKUT especially when they are on move.
