Ptitselov
The Russian Airborne Troops Ptitselov, Fowler in English, is an air droppable air defense system developed combining the Pantir-S2 cannon-missile complex and BMD-4M tracked chassis to protect airborne troops after landing. The new weapon system will complement Igla and Verba MANPADS missile system employed by the Russian Airborne Troops adding the capability to intercept targets at medium and high altitudes. It is possible that the number of launch-ready missiles will drop from 12 to 8-to-6 to make the whole system more compact. The crew will be parachuted inside the Ptitselov which is the standard procedure for Russian airborne vehicles. The development of the Ptitselov for the Russian Army was announced in May 2016. The missile system will employ both infrared and laser guided surface-to-air missiles. The development of the new weapon system was completed in May 2023.
