Russia has started mass production of small missiles designed for Pantsir defense systems. State corporation Rostec announced the development through Sputnik news agency. The weapons completed all required government testing phases before entering production. High-Precision Systems holding company created these compact missiles for military use. Defense officials say the new weapons can target multiple enemy aircraft at once.
The mini-missiles excel at destroying groups of small hostile drones during combat operations. Military experts report that one Pantsir-SMD-E system can eliminate dozens of unmanned aircraft. The weapons demonstrate strong performance against swarms of attacking drones. Russian forces first deployed these missiles during their current military campaign. Combat testing revealed the weapons work with impressive effectiveness against aerial threats.
Rostec confirmed the missiles performed well during their initial battlefield use. The defense company emphasized the weapons' ability to counter modern drone tactics. Enemy forces often use multiple small aircraft to overwhelm traditional air defenses. These new mini-missiles provide Russian troops with improved protection against such attacks. Military planners expect the weapons to strengthen overall air defense capabilities across various combat zones.
