"Pantsir-S1" passed the baptism of fire on the territory of Russia, shooting down a Ukrainian ballistic missile

March 1 2022 7

The Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system destroyed a short-range ballistic missile of the Tochka-U complex launched by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a target, the Ukrainian military chose the Taganrog-Tsentralny military airfield in the Rostov region, where the military transport aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces is based.

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin confirmed this information. It is reported that the Ukrainian missile did not cause serious damage or other damage.

In fact, this is the baptism of fire of the Pantsir-S1 air defense system in Russia. Previously, this anti-aircraft complex was used only abroad, in particular in Syria and Libya.

An eyewitness, located near the airfield, filmed white smoke on its territory. We have removed audio from the video due to the presence of profanity. The author of the video said that something was on fire near the IL-76.

With total air superiority, how is this even possible? Where are our AWACS aircraft? Now sanctions will be introduced, does it look like aviation will die? What is not news, because the mediocrity of power overflows. But Putin has nothing to do with it!

Shell is smart. And then in Syria they were criticized, but there other people used them. Happy for them.
I will not be distracted by other aspects, not because I am against being distracted, but in this post I would like to rejoice for the Shell. And not as some kind of patriot. It was just a pity how they were criticized in other countries, although in those situations it was not they who were to blame, but who planned the defense.

The cotton was notable, it was heard in Taganrog, and far outside the city within a radius of 15 km for sure.
