The USA got the Russian anti-aircraft complex "Pantsir-C1"

January 28 2021 64

In June 2020, the US military removed the Russian Pantsir-C1 air defense system from Libya. The operation had the direct goal of preventing the complex from falling into the hands of the militants, but the obvious benefits from the study of the modern air defense system exported by Russia by the United States cannot be disregarded. At the moment, the system is located at the Ramstein base in Germany, writes The Drive.

The British newspaper The Times was the first to report on the secret mission, which took place in June 2020. A US Air Force C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft reportedly flew into Zuwara International Airport, west of Tripoli, to retrieve the Pantsir-C1, which was then flown to Ramstein AFB in Germany.

It is unclear which modification of the Pantsir-C1 was acquired by the Americans. Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA) received several of these systems from the United Arab Emirates. Their distinguishing feature is the German-made MAN SX 8x8 chassis.

Last year, there were also photographs from Libya showing Pantsir-S1 on the chassis of an 8x8 KAMAZ-6560 truck. This equipment is used in the Russian Armed Forces.

A careful study of the Russian anti-missile system can still provide the United States with useful data. Even a simple study of the materials used to make certain components, as well as the quality of their production, can provide useful information about the current military-industrial capabilities of Russia, the media believes.

Russia never helped Haftar! This is how Putin's lies are revealed by external and indirect data .... It is everywhere in everything.

  A counter question: is he the only one lying in politics?
  What was actually in the test tube, because of which the United States staged military aggression against sovereign Iraq?
  What do the Israelis say about the nuclear arsenal they secretly created in violation of all international norms? It's not there, but if anything, applicable?
  Is lying a privilege exclusively of Vladimir Putin?

  Putin's lies .... It is everywhere in everything.
  
  Sorry, but your blatant stupidity just rolls over! (so I’m not writing for you.)
  
  A president, a politician, in this case, is not a private person who "stealthily ate a chocolate bar" or "cheats on his girlfriend" so that he could be labeled a liar.
  
  Putin, no more, no less, is the PRESIDENT of RUSSIA.
  
  Politicians of this rank are guided, first of all, not by their own, personal, mercantile interests, but by the interests of the state they represent. These are legal entities that are responsible, first of all, before their state, and before their people, and not before "the rest of the world." They have their own politicians, their own chancellors and presidents, who, by the way, "lie" (in the interests of their own peoples), no less, and maybe more.
  
  PS One of the reasons that sometimes induce us to "lie" (or, more correctly, not to tell the whole truth) is: To protect those we love. To protect your neighbor is not a sin, but the greatest good!

      Well, show the same to Mrs. Merkel. She, too, promised not to continue what Mr. Schroeder, reform "Agenda 2010", continuing her own dear, without any delay, as soon as she became Chancellor.
      In this "agenda", the increase in the retirement age (up to 67 years!), Was, by the way, along with many other "unpopular" reforms.
      Or will it be weak for you to call the chancellor of the state, on whose neck you (Estonians), and similar "boogers" to you, are you so "prancing successfully"?

        Personally, I, neither one nor the other, "lies"
        I don't think so. It's nothing personal, just politics. Realities change, and with them their reflection in our perception changes. This is normal.
        
        The child also swears to his mother that he will love only her all his life (and will never marry anyone else)), but then he grows up and realizes that the reality of an adult is different from childhood.

        In Ukraine, after 2014, presidents change as it should be in a democratic state. There, the power is CHANGING. When power is seized there rules alone to the end.

Therefore, the transportation of export Shells to the United States will not add much ...

        The Treaty on the Limitation of Strategic and Offensive Arms (START-3) has already extended to Russian hypersonic systems Avangard,
        
        Viktor Murakhovsky added that the terms of the agreement also apply to the Sarmat missile system. However, he noted that the Russian Burevestnik missile and the American Poseidon are not included in the number of strategic delivery vehicles that are limited by the START-3 Treaty.
        
        Avangard was included in the START Treaty back in 2019

        What I'm absolutely calm about is that all these scarecrows will NEVER be used.
        They are not needed for waging war.
        
        Russia can use nuclear weapons as a retaliatory strike, both in the case of receiving reliable information about the launch of ballistic missiles attacking our country or its allies, and if weapons of mass destruction were used. And also - in case of aggression with the use of conventional weapons, if the very existence of the state is threatened. A nuclear strike is also permissible when the enemy is acting on critical state or military facilities, the disabling of which will disrupt retaliatory actions.

        So I say, Russia will never use nuclear weapons.

        If it is not attacked by a really serious military force in the person of NATO, for example.
        We will deal with mongrels like Georgia or the current Kiev regime with conventional weapons.

        Already attacked.
        In 2014 was
        But in a more appropriate hybrid way in the modern world.
        Here's how about 1979 in the USSR.
        The USSR then held out for 12 years.
        How long the RF will hold out is unknown.

        This is if Washington is allowed.
        And if they do not allow it, you will have to take it back.
        As in Georgia.
        Or the hybrid war I wrote about above.

        I did not notice any deadness in him.
        Therefore, the clock is ticking.

        And this does not change anything on a global scale.
        You just have to swallow more bitter pills.

        I'm not going to convince anyone.
        You have your own faith, I have mine.
        Time will judge.

  Quite right! But the conclusions, for some reason, they made on space! They were probably convinced that they did not know how to handle iron in Russia (too many extra holes were drilled) and deleted Russia from the Artemis program!

The situation would not have been so unpleasant if the export systems really had fundamental differences with the original ones, but this may not be the case at all, even because of the banal thirst to earn extra money from Russian manufacturers of combat systems and make minimal ones, but additionally costly changes in export technology.
I can recall how the Jews seized from the Egyptians, too, export early warning P-12 "Yenisei" locators for the issuance of target designation of the S-75 air defense system. They studied it to the cog and then used the information received very effectively to fight the Arab air defenses.
