MOSCOW, February 12. /TASS/. High Precision Complexes Holding said it would display the latest Pantsir-SMD-E air defense missile gun and other latest designs at IDEX arms show in Abu Dhabi.

"High Precision Complexes will for the first time display Kornet anti-tank missile launcher with a remote control. Mounted full-size Kornet-E (also known as Berezhok) weapon with fire controls and guided missiles will debut at IDEX 2025. A broad line of Pantsir antiaircraft complexes received another product. A full-size sample of the latest Pantsir-SMD-E anti-aircraft missile gun will feature along with Pantsir-S1M and Pantsir-ME," it said.

The display will also feature 9M134 Bulat light guided missile for anti-tank launchers, as well as Iskander-E launcher, Product 305E, Verba manpad, Dzhigit support launching unit, BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle and other exhibits.

Pantsir-SM received high-speed guided missiles with a double range - 40 km instead of previous 20. There are also mini missiles to destroy quadcopters, mortar mines and other small targets, for which an ordinary missile is too expensive. Four mini missiles are installed in a container. Thus, the round of munitions of Pantsir-SM can reach 48 and even 96 missiles depending on the launcher option.

The radar doubled the range from 36 to 75 km. There is an option without the radar and guns, but with 24 missiles instead of 12. The launcher is guided by a radar-equipped vehicle or from the command post.

Pantsir-SM can engage in netcentric war. A six-vehicle battery can be united into a local network. One command launcher will distribute targets to the others. They can also switch off the radars and fire by the commands of S-400 ADS, which they protect.

The upgraded Pantsir kept the eight-wheel all-terrain undercarriage of the Tornado automobile and a pair of antiaircraft 2A38M machineguns.

The launcher deploys in five minutes and destroys targets flying at an altitude of up to 15 km at a speed of 2,000 meters per second. The reaction time is five seconds. The vehicle develops a road speed of 100 km/h and has a fuel distance of 1,000 kilometers.
