Nope , by definition ,air defence must have its search radars on to be effective and f-35 will be hard to detect for pantsyr.
No its does not. Big fail for you.
Information about the target will come to Pancir-S1, in the most cases and well in advance, from command posts like
Ranzir/Castelania/Bernaul/etc and the radar system directly attached to it or from higher echelon command post (Radar and ASU ones).
When target enters engagement envelope of Pancir-S1 it can turn on its radar and fire missiles at it.
This is the case under which Pancir-S1 will perform most of the time anywhere. It will be connected in integrated air defense
network. I really dont understand why do you persistently insist on one Pancir-S1 scenario when thats the least possible option to
happen. Let me ask you something.
Do you know the reason why
integrated air defense solutions where developed?
Why do you expect any SAM system to work outside integrated air defense network.

how will pantsyr triangulate an f-35 please? this is nonsense.
With the introduction of S-400 system in the Russian army even a 55K6 regimental command post can operate directly with passive
radar systems like Orion-Vega. When F-35 lights up his radar system it will shine like torch in the night. Information about it will
be passed out to Pancir-S1 command post and when it enters engagement envelope, Pancir-S1 will open fire.
More to it few Pancir-S1 can lay quiet for instance 10 miles away from the Pancir-S1 that will have its search radar turned on.
When F-35 goes for the kill, information about it can be passed on to the Pancir-S1 in ambush so they can open fire on an
unaware F-35. There are really huge range of different options.

Is this a joke, i has 2 big bays for a-g weapons 3 per bay to saturate pantsyr.
It depends on the crew of pantcir if the missiles will be destroyed ,but f-35 itself is untouchable unless its pilot is idiot and blunders completely ,it will have full power of aiming radar on him because its stealth and its hard to track so it will have some time to maneuver and get out of its kill zone 15-18km.
Nope its not a joke. It can carry some
glide bombs like JDAM or JSOW or Paveway and that only one per bay in two bays.
Thats it. No more not less. So there is nothing much to fear. If F-35 wants to carry formidable array of weapons it will lose its
stealth. Besides we still dont know why are you debating F-35 vs Pancir-S1. Please answer this question as F-35 is not nearly finished
and has jet to overcome bumpy ride until is done.

Its very limited in passive mode very narrow vision and imported thermal system whis is not even near the best in the world ,if it goes active its bye bye ...
Interesting that you fail to mention that big fail of yours about Pancir-S1 not being able to guide missiles on targets without
the use of only its optics. Well you seems to forget mistakes of yours quite easily. Dont you find that interesting.
Anyway Pancir-S1 has wide range of options beside using its own radar that will give it an idea of where to look for the
targets. So it can remain in passive mode and fire missiles at targets without them being alerted by Pancir-S1 presence.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:5. F-35 can catch false decoy radar emissions and fall in the Pancir-S1 trap
Its an option ,it could also spend all its missiles on towed decoys of f-35...
If F-35 loads up with MALD it will loose its stealth or space that could be used to carry bombs etc. So its a win win situation for
Pancir-S1. Still because Pancir-S1 can work in a passive mode but still receive information about the situation in the air space
F-35 pilot will have no idea when to fire MALD but by the time he realizes that his plane is being tracked it may already be to late
for him and eject can be the only safe option as F-35 is not the most fastest or most maneuverable plane out there.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:Like with everything else.
Its not easy for me to debate vs 5 non-objective guys .
Yes, you are the one who defined situation where quality of Pancir-S1 depends only of its ability to stand up all by itself to a
200 million $ fighter that does not exist jet, So much about objectivity. Still you persistently avoid to put Pancir-S1 in a
situation for which it is intended to. But we are the ones bein non-objective. Besides arguing with the 5 guys should tell you
something about objectivity by itself.

I have proved my point. There is the report on the very first page of this topic
But that has been widely discussed. You never even mentioned the first page until now - so there is no need to dig up graves.
You on the other hand mentioned all the other reasons but that. Reasons which are always non-objective and sometimes false same as
most of the ones on the first page.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:And what is PANCIR-S1 today?
-Nothing special ,still a work in progress...
Well you are right up to a point. Pancir-S1 as all the rest weapons in the world is work is progress.
Still even in todays configuration it is the best and cheapest short range SAM in the world.
If you look at the Pancir-S1 delivered for Algeria you will notice a new radar on it. It is perhaps AESA and perhaps not - we dont
know jet but things will change in time and development will never end. Thing is that no other country in the world
can field such capability is what is important specially when working within Russian integrated air defense network.

Jesus i repeat myself over and over , fire & forget capability /

Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:What needs improving?
hiting targets that try to hide bellow horizon
2. Did you checked its range? Big fail! Another one.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:What needs improving?
lower price
3. And is jet the cheapest one out there even now. Compare the prices of similar existing system and their amount until they reach
Pancir-S1 capability. You will find out that Pancir-S1 is by far the cheapest one out there as well as the rest of Russian equipment.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:What needs improving?
aesa constant search of all sectors in lpi mode
4. It may already have AESA radar - we are not sure. Either way lpi or not lpi Russia has range of AESA radar systems that
will always be connected to Pancir-S1 command post. So you dont need to worry. Everything is fine.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:What needs improving?
aim & guiding capability in all direction simultaniously
Well that would be nice capability to have indeed but we will have to wait for it a bit longer. No one possesses such
capability at the moment. Still when it comes to firing in all directions simultaneously Russia
is No1 in comparison with the rest.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:What needs improving?
,better guns....etc.
No it does not. Guns are just fine.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:-No radar is needed to fire missiles with optical guidance channel. Even a version of Pancir-S1 with single optical channel was made. Now you did not know that?
It does have to have send radio commands towards the missile and wide field of view so the missile will catch its signals so it will have wide lobes ,signal can be weak as the missile is near and get narrower and stronger the further its away but beam is in the direction of the target so it will be detectable...
But it does not need to have its search or shooting radar on and you said it does.
Big fail.
Rpg type 7v wrote:Optical system can trace just 1 missile towards 1 target.
True but all the other system of such class can even with the use of its radar systems guide their missiles to only one target.
Pancir-S1 can guide 4x as many
. Imagine the numbers needed to achieve such supremacy in repelling saturation attacks.
Only one battery of Pancir-S1 can simultaneously fire at 24 targets
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:That point is something vastly beyond your understanding. The primary mission of Pancir-S1 is to work with other air defense assets

That includes vast amounts of different systems all working together under control of command post.
If you need to spend that much money on patcyr you wont have much left for other air defence SAMs
You are worried about the money but you have no problem placing 15 million $ Pancir-S1 against 200 million F-35
and you refuse to compare the prices of Pancir-S1 and the Patriot missile system LINK. Well you need money to buy anything. This price argument is the biggest fail of yours
even more than other false things you mentioned earlier. Nothing is cheap nowadays but still Russian equipment when it comes to
capability/price ratio is the best out there.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote:Of course ability to work alone, to repel areal attacks and ground even and to shoot multiple missiles at multiple targets and to make nightmares to any western planes planing to invade a country armed with the Pancir-S1 is just one of its many pluses.
You sound like you work in the advertisement department showing off all the strong points but hiding the weak..
Nope, you are totally wrong as usual. Im well aware about the things that would need improving about Pancir-S1 but the ones you are
mentioning have nothing to do with reality.
Rpg type 7v wrote:Missile is quite simple ,it is very fast no doubt but has its limitations.
Huge booster means large internal dead zone ,no sustainer , so second stage flies in a balistic path and has limited maneuvering capability with together its small finns-canarads.
Agree. There are things that needs to improve but same situation can be applied to any weapon system in the world no matter the
country and the system, dont you agree. Still no matter things that will/should improve Pancir-S1 missiles are still by far most
dangerous in their class as well as the system as a whole. So while its further development will surely continue, Pancir-S1
will despite all retain its crown as the best air defense in its class and the cheapest one too.
Rpg type 7v wrote: Viktor wrote: Rpg type 7v wrote:Also few more things , pantcir missiles drop in speed on average 70m/s/s ,
Nope, you are wrong as usual - its 40m/sec
Im right, deceleration like acceleration is measured in meters per second squared m/s*s in time units , or m/sec during certain distance traveled.
besides its booster can accelerate it 1,3km /s for horizontal shot or 1,2 km/s for near vertical shot ,so it can vary also.
Deceleration is on average 40m/s per km, so it will be higher early on during its flight maybe 60 m/s per km. at 10km away that can be 500 m/s deceleration. Also the reason garry cant calculate right is because during booster cut-off the missile is already 1,2-1,5 km away so the speed of the second stage only then starts to drop.
even in garrys link they say - short ballistic delay during no-booster flight (40 m/s for 1 km of track)
You said average was 70 m/s per kilometer and I said it was 40 m/s per kilometer.
So I was right and you where wrong. So another big fail for you.
