makes a good point. The videos show two of the Pantsirs with their radars in operation. The Pantsir’s 57E6E missiles’ max range is 20km (detection range is greater) the TB2 with MAM-L is only 8km. So either EW is being employed or the Pantsir crews are incompetent.60/

Purpotedly, photo one of the recently damaged Pantsir-S1 in Libya, but it is on a KAMAZ-6560 chassis, not a MAN-SX45 that the UAE purchased. Not sure if this means the UAE also bought KAMAZ variants or if another country is sending Pantsirs to Libya. 62/ vk.com/milinfolive?w=

Look's like the same Pantsir-S1 from a video posted yesterday, but clearly with more damage. 63/

Hard to be sure, but it appears the aquisition radar is the newer octagonal-shaped S-band 1RS1-3-RLM radar and not the older rectangular radar (which all Emirati Pantsirs have AFAIK). Syria, Algeria, Iraq, Ethipopia, and some other countries have the newer version. 64/

Last week the Записки охотника Telegram Channel said that a Russian Tu-154 aircraft landed in Iran's Hamadan Airbase as a stop over as it flew from Russian to Syria, and it was escorted by 6 MiG-29 fighters. Presumably, these are the same fighters. 70/ avia.pro/news/rossiya-p

The Msta-B 152mm towed howitzer was arguably the main workhorse of Russia's intervention in Syria, especially when equipped with Krasnopol laser-guided artillery rounds. 79/

Also spotted today was a 122mm D-30 howitzer being towed by a, presumably Russian PMC, technical. 80/ t.me/grey_zone/2940

One obvious question is whether Turkey will try to strike Russian PMC convoys with their UCAVs, which now lack air defense coverage after the loss of the Pantsir-S1s, or whether they will try to limit their air strikes to LNA and non-Russian forces (as they did in Idlib). 81/

Deliberate targeting of Wagner will almost certainly lead to a strong Russian escalation, and the decision to send MiG-29 fighters may have been a primarily defensive move to protect Russian PMC contractors from TB2 UCAVs (with the option of using them for offensive missions).82/

Screenshots of that Pantsir-S1 on a KAMAZ-6560 chassis. Since that variant of the Pantsir isn’t in service with UAE (AFAIK), seems most likely that Russian PMCs are operating their own Pantsirs. A photo emerged this week of another KAMAZ-6560 Pantsir-S1 that was destroyed. 86/

AFRICOM's Gen. Stephen Townsend said the same while testifying to Congress in March. This seems like the best explanation for seeing that variant of the Pantsir-S1 in a Russian PMC convoy in Libya. The UAE has lost at least 20% of their 50 Pantsirs. 87/ pic.twitter.com/qALmoAGBvw

There were at least two Russian Tigr vehicles (I think Tigr-M but can’t tell for sure) in the convoy which are standard across the Russian military. 88/ Last Photo: Vitaly Kuzmin
