Is the Russian Pantsir good enough ? It always helps to have a sample

Probably the same system thay was captured in Lybia i think or was it syria i dont remember correctly.

First of all the variants in Libya are inferior export variants that were sold to the UAE.

The Emiratis probably gave the Americans samples long before this. This article is pure rubbish.

Just to give you an idea, Russians are even willing to sell S-400 to the US. Why ? Inferior export version. You think Turkey won't share the S-400 tech with America ? That's if they haven't already. There's US bases in Turkey & the UAE LOL Russians are not dumb.


No it's not. If a Russian version were captured then you could say that, but export variants are always highly inferior. The UAE are now begging US for F-35's. You think they haven't already shown their Pantsirs and other Russian weapons to Americans ? there are US bases in UAE. Think about it.

very valid point,. Turkey still being a NATO member doesn't stop the NATO allies to spy on the Turkish S400 system. the spying can take place on both directions. its not just Russians that can potentially collect flight data and characteristics of American 5th generation jets via S400 system but American can do the same with their own trackers and sensors to observe and collect data from S400 systems while they are switched on.

By Indian's logic this means the USA stole the Russian system because they need something to copy to develop theirs. Any time some country buys or takes a foreign system it only means that country cannot develop it and must copy. Same logic with China buying Su-35. It means J-20 is not as good as Su-35. Here it just means USA's standard missiles and Patriot is not good enough and they need another shorter range air defense missile.
