Variants
Pantsir-S1
This is the first and most numerously produced variant, being produced from 2008 to 2013, with more planned in 2019.
Pantsir-S1M
New upgraded variant of the Pantsir-S1 first unveiled in February 2019 as some of the planned models.
Pantsir-M/EM
A naval variant of the land-based Pantsir-S1 was unveiled in July 2015.
Pantsir-SM
The Pantsir-SM variant incorporates a multi-functional targeting station, increasing target detection range from 40 to 75 km (25 to 47 mi) and engagement range from 20 to 40 km (12 to 25 mi).
Pantsir-SA
After testing Pantsir in the Arctic, it was decided to design a new variant specifically for the Arctic, to use at temperatures below −50 °C (−58 °F) called the Pantsir-SA.
Pantsir-SMD-E
Russia has announced a new variant of its Pantsir short-range air defense system that can be loaded with as many as 48 small interceptors and that it says is specifically intended to help shield critical infrastructure from uncrewed aerial threats. The new SMD-E variant of Pantsir has a turret that can be loaded with up to 12 57E6-series short-range command-guided surface-to-air missiles, as many as 48 TKB-1055 very-short-range interceptors, or a mix thereof. The TKB-1055 is a relatively recent development focused heavily on defeating drone threats and has a stated maximum range of just over 4 miles (7 kilometers) compared to the 57E6-E’s nearly 12 and a half miles (20 kilometers), per a placard seen at Army 2024. Like previous versions of Pantsir, the SMD-E’s turret also has two integrated radars, one for spotting and tracking targets and another fire control type for directing the command-guided missiles.
