Russian Military in Kamchatka to Master Advanced Pantsir-S Defense Systems

According to spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry’s Eastern Military District, the personnel of a surface-to-air missile regiment located in the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East will undergo special training to master advanced Pantsir-S air defense systems.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The personnel of a surface-to-air missile regiment located in the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East will undergo special training to master advanced Pantsir-S air defense systems, the spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry’s Eastern Military District said Thursday.

"Over 30 people will learn the operating procedure and combat use of the new weapons systems. The conversion course will take 2 months. After the first stream, another group of military personnel from the same regiment will start the course," Capt. 1st Rank Roman Martov said.

During the training course, experts will examine the configuration of new weapons, the rules of their operation in various climatic conditions, including the Far North, maintenance and repair of the new anti-aircraft missile systems.

"The Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and gun complexes will be deployed to protect the borders of north-eastern Russia together with battalions of S-400 Triumf [missile defense systems]," the spokesman added.

The Pantsir-S (SA-22 Greyhound) is a Russian short-to-medium range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery weapon system, which first entered service in 2012 and will gradually replace the Tunguska self-propelled anti-aircraft weapon.

Russia is currently undergoing a $325-billion rearmament program to modernize 70-percent of its military's weaponry by 2020.

Nice write up about Pantsir-S1, and a nice little-known fact is that the crew cabin is armored to STANAG level 5 for crew safety:

Брянский автомобильный завод переходит под контроль Концерна ВКО "Алмаз-Антей"

Potentially good news?!?

Almaz-Anteii Concern is buying 90% of BAZ shares.


Now if they could only put the Pantsir on a BAZ chassis..

Why they wouldnt be able to? BAZ 69092 is more than capable for that.



They are towing alot of stuff in Russian army anyways.

It's already been tried a few years ago...

True. But Pantsir is made by KBP from Tula, a competitor to Almaz-Antei, so there is a better chance to see Tor-M2KM on BAZ than Pantsir. On the other hand it also depend on customer. If VKO is OK with Pantsir on Kamaz truck, than no need to change it.

Kamaz chassis is technologically behind BAZ, center of gravity is awful high, bad stability when firing. Off-road capability is also crap compared to a comparable BAZ offering.

Kamaz makes some decent (cheap) stuff, but they have tried to barge their way into providing trucks for every branch of the armed forces, even when their their offerings are inadequate or need years of work to catch up to other offerings. Why? Management has good ties to people in the right places.

Copy-Paste from some other forum probably

I doubt that. This isn't the US.

Exactly that






He even copied the picture too. A lot of copycats on this forum it seems.

Comparing Pantsir on BAZ and Kamaz chassis is looks like either BAZ is fairly small vehicle or Kamaz is really big beast.

And MZKT, MAZ make better trucks than BAZ - but they're Belarussian and so for some reason that means that we have to weave off them

Russian deployment of new Pantsyr to Syria confirmed
Jeremy Binnie, London and Nikolai Novichkov, Russia - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
08 February 2016 http://www.janes.com/article/57814/russian-deployment-of-new-pantsyr-to-syria-confirmed

Russia has deployed the new version of the Pantsyr air defence system to its Humaymim airbase in Syria, footage broadcast by the RT news channel on 3 February has confirmed.

Russia has had at least one Pantsyr-S1 at Humaymim since 3 October 2015, when its Ministry of Defence released a photograph showing one in the background.

The RT footage showed a second system with the new bidirectional radar now deployed at the base. This also appears to be the first time the new Pantsyr version has been seen in Russian service.

RT identified the system as a Pantsyr-S2: a new version the Russian military said it would take into service in 2015.

The version with the bidirectional radar has already been delivered to both Algeria and Iraq and was labelled as a Pantsyr-S1 when it was displayed at the MAKS show held in Russia in August 2015.

One of its selling points is that a pair can be set up with their radars orientated in opposing directions so that they can together provide 360 o target scanning coverage. However, the radar on the system seen in the footage was rotating, suggesting it is not working with a second system with the same radar.

The Pantsyr systems at Humaymim support the long-range S-400 Triumph system that Russia has deployed, there by providing close-in defence against cruise missiles and other forms of precision-guided munitions.

As yet, there has been no confirmation that the S-400 has been deployed with the new 40N6 long-range missile.

Test drive ZRPK "Pantsyr-S"

In the 8th issue of the magazine "Auto Review" for 2016 published the article is interesting Fedor Lapshin "Day of anti-aircraft gunners," in which the author describes his impressions of ZRPK "Pantsyr-S" of the Russian army. Our blog introduces extracts from these material readers.

So, the author notes that most likely he was shown ZRPK modification "A2", which differs in radar and weapons, but the Russian Ministry of Defense complex called "Pantsyr-S" without a digital index.




Assessing the machine itself, the author notes that although the cabin looks from the inside as usual, it is applied to a hidden book, bullet-proof glass, and built into the side slits. Judging by the brand on the windows, armored company engaged in "Asteys" from Naberezhnye Chelny, and everything turned out gently.
What's unusual? Short stick - "automatic" between the seats instead of the usual lever. On the basis of his firm ZF emblem (placed in Germany on military and armored vehicles Boxer MAN trucks), near - the electronic "brains" of the box with the logo of Bosch and «Made in Germany» inscription. Moreover, this model KAMAZ-6560, there are bridges Madara Bulgarian and German-Austrian razdatka ZF Steyr. The reality is that for such a lifting gear in KAMAZ yet its bridges.



In the cockpit, another strange detail: "blower" air conditioner on the ceiling. And the rest - as KAMAZ KAMAZ.
then the gas pedal not only floor, but it is very tight, but thanks to this multi-ton machine of accelerated smoothly. Impressed turning radius - 17 meters, and in one place in order to steer, had to take back. However, the translation of the selector in "Drive" mode the truck did not go. According to the warrant officer-instructor had to squeeze the brake to go into neutral and switch back, because sometimes a box "tupit".

Pricking up another point. Since the drive is full, the author moved to the road of concrete slabs directly on the field - frozen and small clumps. But the instructor was nervous, "Look to the wheel in the hole did not get." It turned out to be very careful because the center of gravity, if you do not calculate, you can roll over.
What is the fuel consumption? According to the author - 65 liters per 100 km.



Having learned that the author of the motoring magazine, revived anti-aircraft gunners themselves invited to take pictures with the camera "shoals" KAMAZ chassis. Firstly, in the right front wheel arch - tubes, hoses and other elements of the pneumatic system, which are flying stones and dirt. Secondly, even earlier in the article about the author experienced KAMAZ-6560 spoke about the fact that the swap hoses wheels almost touching the rear wheels. In serial KAMAZ-6560, these tubes in a metal sheath is not "almost", and on tires.

Have KAMAZ-6560 is another serious problem, which was discovered by accident. This machinery equipment KAMAZ-6560, 65224, 65221, 65222 bridges Madara, and during the operation of vehicles with them a significant number of complaints received - in 2014 and 2013. 45 and 74, respectively. Earlier, it was decided to organize the production of its own design of bridges, and the estimated production volume was 16 thousand units per year, the beginning of the installation of equipment -. The third quarter of 2017. . The project cost 1.7 billion rubles, the subsidy (from the Industrial Development Fund) - 228 million rubles. But, apparently, it means it has not been allocated.

However, the production of 12-liter engines Liebherr KAMAZ need more - 5 billion rubles, of which the grant -. 1 billion rubles. But prospective KAMAZ-6560M is planned to equip Tornado license libehrovskimi motors.

That's a pretty neat trick.
