PANTSIR AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM

 

PANTSIR  AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM

SARASIJ MAJUMDER



Important of Air supremacy in WAR started being felt from first world war itself. It got intensified in Second World War. Later, USA, and USSR competed with each other to develop Missiles, ICBM , Supersonics… etc to attack enemy through  aerial route.

GULF WAR, fought by USA against IRAQ, first showcased the efficacy of the system.

New addition in the attack systems are ‘Military Drones’.

With this, the importance of Air Défense System started got developing—and is a must requirement.

The THAAD, or Terminal High Altitude Area Défense, is considered to be among the best in the world. It is believed to cost somewhere between $1.96 and $3.25 billion. Lockheed Martin, its makers, says it can defend against short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats.

However, India can’t buy that.

Iron drome of Israel was put to test recently, and extensively. It is  found wanting in many ways.

In the above scenario, India took the second best  alternative.

The Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Russian aerospace and Défense company Rosoboronexport for the supply of Pantsir mobile air defence system to India. The MoU between India and Russia was signed in Goa at the fifth India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission (IRIGC) Subgroup meeting in Goa.

Under the MoU, the two sides will co-develop variants of the Pantsir system as part of India’s attempts to increase self-reliance in Défense manufacturing. According to media reports, Russia will offer India the latest version of the system.

Pantsir-S1 is the baseline model of the Pantsir family. The system is a gun/missile VSHORAD air defence system, armed with two twin 30 mm 2A38M cannons and two six round surface to air missile launchers firing the 57E6 missile.

However—the system is already upgraded, and improved upon by Russia, and India will only purchase/ produce the ‘UPGRADED’ version..

The system is known for its high mobility, mounted on a wheeled chassis, making it suitable for both static and mobile defence operations. The Pantsir's radar suite includes both search and fire-control radars, allowing it to track and engage multiple targets simultaneously.

The Pantsir system integrates both missiles and guns to provide multi-layered protection against a wide range of aerial threats. The system is designed to defend key assets such as military bases, airports, and industrial sites, etc.

Pantsir-S1 air Défense missile and gun system (ADMGS) is designed for air defence of small-sized military, administrative and industrial facilities and areas against fixed- and rotary-winged aircraft, cruise and short-range missiles, and precision munitions as well as for strengthening air Défense units against massive air attacks.

The system  is a cluster of mobile, multi-channel, short to medium-range surface-to-air missile, and Guns. The Pantsir, which combines a short reaction time with the capability of a combat vehicle, can engage aircraft with its missiles at altitudes of up to 15 km and with its 30mm guns at altitudes of up to 3,000 metres.

It’s effectiveness got tested in present war between Russia, and Ukraine. The result is ‘GOOD’.

India’s Jamnagar, and western part of Gujarat, and BARC are easy TARGETS, and need the protection by this system badly.

According to open sources, the unit cost of the Pantsir ranges from $13.15 million to $14.67 million on the export market.

The United States, Russia, India, France, Israel, Italy, United Kingdom, China and Iran have all developed Missile Défense Systems. All are constantly  improving upon it.

Note:- Some information are only presently declassified, and available in some site.

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...
