Three more Pantsirs were destroyed by Turkish drones in Libya within 24h

It seems Turkish drones will erase all tracks of Russian made SAM systems. Third Pantsir was destroyed in Sirte, Libya.

Three Pantsirs within 2 days!

Miniature Bomb is just 135 kg .. so AKINCI UCAV can carry 6 MBs but range will be less than 100 km
MB can penetrate 1 meter of reinforced concrete targets in range of 55 km if AKINCI to drop MB at 40.000 feet

very impressive range

Is anyone keeping count on how many Panstirs have been destroyed?

Wattiya AB is now in hands of GNA

In Syria, 3 Pantsir and 5 other Russian made SAM systems (BUK-M2, S-125 and TOR)
In Libya, 3 Pantsir within 2 days.

The number of Pantsirs to be destroyed will increase If UAE send more of them.

One half burned Pantsir captured in secured Al-Watiya base. This system should be brought to Turkiye.

That is embarrassingly bad...

Seems they used thermobaric warhead MAM-L since it's scorched up so bad and very little fragmentation damage. Would do well in Havelsans electronic warfare test range with the BUK-M1 we have
That'll buff right out

Also 3500 LNA soldiers and 200 Haftar's tanks

Poor guy, I really mean it

 

[cabatli_53]

can these be used on drones? or are they too slow to achieve good range?

Turkish drones will use many precision guided munitions that has passed into serial production phase.

Hgk-82(~28km)

Kgk-82 (~100km)

Teber

Miniature munitions

and Kuzgun

@Philip the Arab

Also, your UAVs mean nothing with good jammers used previously in Libya by Wagner

After Al-Watiya strategic air base, Tarhuna operation is loading ! Later, Sirte and then Al-Jufra air base !

And sold as scrap metal to gypsies, the only valuable use for this junk.

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.

This is according to unverified reports from the Libyan National Army (LNA),

South African report? Answer is in your unverified post

What this means is LNA's claims were not entirely verified. Which could be due to a number of reasons.

I think, either Turkey learned from its mistakes, and adopted a new strategy, OR The LNA operators decided to become complacent / stupid en-mass.

I follow their claims daily, both in English and Arabic. They recycle the same stuff as a new achievement. It's easy. According LNA claims, GNA would have no drones to fly at all.

Sorry, I don't take claims LNA seriously, here is Chinese Wing Loong in flames:

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.
