Russian troops received TKB-1055 mini-missiles for Pantsir missile defense systems, Rostec reports

 

- Why do you need mini-missiles? The Pantsir-S1 normally carries 12 transport and launch containers (TPCs) with anti-aircraft missiles, which have a range of up to 40 km. But why use them on drones? It's wasteful. And sometimes it is ineffective – at close range, the missile can miss. 

- We solved the problem brilliantly. The Pantsir air defense missile system has been equipped with new quadruple containers of small-sized anti-aircraft missiles with a range of (!) 500 m. And although they are small, they used a control system and a warhead close to the usual Pantsir missiles. 

"Four in one." The creation of mini-missiles will make it possible not to waste expensive ammunition on artisanal drones, quadrocopters and mortar mines – mini-missiles will take care of them. They can be placed in a package of four pieces in a regular launch container. That is, the number of missiles can be increased to 48, which eliminates the possibility of overloading the air defense. 

On a daily basis, the "Shells" of the Russian Armed Forces reflect attacks by enemy kamikaze drones in the skies over Russia. And with small-sized anti-aircraft missiles, they will be able to protect more objects and do it with minimal cost.
