Brother, no denying Pantsir is taking a beating. But what about this South African report?

Libyan Pantsir-S1 air defence systems have apparently destroyed a dozen Turkish UAVs

It appears the Pantsir-S1 air defence systems delivered by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Libya have been used to shoot down over a dozen Turkish unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

This is according to unverified reports from the Libyan National Army (LNA), which said the Pantsir-S1 has destroyed 16 Turkish aircraft between November 2019 and March 2020. Some two dozen Turkish UAVs were destroyed over Libya, with the Pantsir-S1 accounting for half of them.

In the last week, the Pantsir-S1 has apparently shot down four UAVs and a Mirage F1 fighter. Video emerged showing apparent Mirage F1 wreckage on 14 April, but few other details have been forthcoming.

The Pantsir-S1 has been in Libya since June 2019, when photos emerged showing what appeared to be Libyan National Army units escorting a Pantsir-S1 air defence system near al-Jufra Air Base in central Libya. The system was fitted to a MAN SX 45 8×8 truck, which is only in service with the United Arab Emirates, according to Jane’s Defence Weekly. It apparently arrived on a UAE military transport aircraft on 18 June.

The Pantsir-S1 system (SA-22 ‘Greyhound’) was designed by the KBP Instrument Design Bureau of Tula, Russia, and is manufactured by the Ulyanovsk Mechanical Plant in Ulyanovsk. It combines two 2A38M 30 mm automatic anti-aircraft guns developed from the two-barrelled 30 mm GSh-30 gun, with twelve 57E6 surface-to-air missiles.

The Pantsir-S1 is mounted on an 8×8 vehicle and can fire at two targets simultaneously and attack 12 targets a minute. Effective range is 20 kilometres. It can engage artillery shells out to four kilometres.

The fire control system includes a target acquisition radar and dual waveband tracking radar with a detection range of 32–36 km and tracking range of 24–28 km for a mid-size target. The fire control system also includes an electro-optic channel with long-wave thermal imager and infrared direction finder.

The arrival of the Pantsir-S1 system may have been to counter Turkish-made UAVs, which have been used against LNA forces by the Government of National Accord during its move to capture Tripoli. At least one Pantsir-S1 system was apparently destroyed in November 2019.

Since 2014, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt have provided the LNA with military equipment, including Panthera T6, Typhoon and Caiman armoured vehicles, MiG-21 fighter aircraft and Mi-24/35P helicopters.

LNA twitter account was proven fake many times before. They are systematically generating lies with sharing old footages/pictures as if they downed a new Turkish drone almost each day. In recent months, They have even shared the images of two of their own downed Wingloong-2 as if It was from other side. They posted images from Yemen and Syrian war to claim they are doing great. If what they claimed was to reflect
truth, GNA had to lost more than 50-60 drones but GNA ordered neither these number of drones, nor Turkey has capability to supply them because the institutes are producing these drones for Turkish armed forces at the same time. Turkey just delivered 20 TB2 drones to GNA and what you have witnessed until now, have been done by these 20 drones. They are in such a desperate conditions because they are losing the ground and they need fake victory claims to keep their fighters alive on East. Do not believe on informations spreaded out by LNA propaganda sources.

Within 24h:

- 3 Russian made Pantsir
- 1 Russian made Krashuka Jammer vehicle
- 1 Russian made Pantsir munition/missile loading truck
- 1 Chinese made WingLoong-2 drone
- Al-Watiya airbase

Even their jamming system has failed!!! A big achievement of the Turkish systems....

Once a SAM site goes online it can be tracked. For it to survive, either it fires its salvo, switches off and mobilizes like mad to avoid incoming ARM's or depend on an airborne assets to provide it stand-off cover. I'd bet they're getting hammered because

1-They are meant to provide cover to an airbase (not mobile)
2-No air cover to protect these assets as even once they switch off; any ARM system present nearby can pinpoint their location and they go up in flames; which because of their known location isn't hard to do.

Some were mobile when they were hit which is good intel.

It probably has nothing to do with it being a shitty system. Old maybe but not shitty.

But, they had a jamming system in the vicinity too!!! It means a collective failure....

Probably hit with something other then the drones - and once it was offline the drones would have free reign Looking at the casualty list, it seems to me that the timeline was more or less in this order.

Wing Loong 2 was also shot downed. Are Hisar-A/O was involved?

A Turkish frigate downed a Wing Loong 2 yesterday.

Billions of UAE's dollars are burning in Libya. I do not think that Russia is very sad about this situation.

Now, the lifetimes of the new systems introduced by UAE are measured in weeks. A very effective intelligence is working in the field on behalf of Libyan government.

Looks like bayraktrar is overkill, we should use it one S300...

One correction: the Modern Turkey will be more powerful than the Ottoman Empire...
