Photos are via Air Power Australia. I post this in response to being informed by Humberto (thanks) that Brazil was interested in the Pantsir Anti-Air System.
Click here to read about it at Air Power Australia. They provide a very thorough write up on this capability.
A few things stand out though...
* Phased Array Radar which increases detection range.
* Capable of detecting and identifying both air and ground forces.
* Has an unusually large weapons carriage of 12 Anti-Air Missiles (SA-22's) with two 30mm cannons.
* Modular. This system can be mounted on a variety of highly mobile off road capable transports.
NOTE: The Pantsir is designed to be used in conjunction with S-300/S-400/S-500 anti-air/anti-missile systems. If facing a force that contains the Pantsir and S-300 systems, the attacking force would need advanced, high speed, long range stand off missiles to avoid destruction.
