The new Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system was presented in Russia. Unlike the well-known Pantsir air defense missile and gun system, there are no 30-mm automatic cannons now. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system is a short-range air defense system, and is now also designed to combat UAVs, including massive air raids. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system was shown as a separate combat module, which can be mounted on different chassis or stationary objects. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system consists of a surveillance radar, a multifunctional phased radar, and an electro-optical system.

The air defense system can detect targets with an effective dispersion area of less than one square meter at a range of up to 40 km, while it can track up to 40 targets, whether it fully detects FPV drones is unknown. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system is equipped with two types of missiles. The 57E6E missile with a radio command control system, the range of target destruction from 1200 to 20000 meters, the altitude of target destruction from 15 meters to 15 km. The probability of hitting the target from 0.7 to 0.9. And the TKB-1055 mini missile designed to intercept drones, 4 missiles of this type can be placed in the TKB-1056 container. The TKB-1055 missile can destroy targets at a range of 500 to 7000 meters and an altitude of 15 to 5000 meters. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system can be equipped with a combination of 12 57E6E missiles or 48 TKB-1055 missiles.

It can track 40 targets but how many it can shot at the same time ? Interesting payload. do the old system could shot the 30mm on ground target for self defense ?

As part of the recent Ocean-2024 exercises, a target hit by a Russian Kh-35 anti-ship missile was demonstrated. The firing was carried out by the upgraded frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov of the Russian Pacific Fleet. During the upgrade, the large anti-submarine ship Marshal Shaposhnikov of Project 1155M was reclassified as a frigate. In terms of displacement and armament, it can be considered a destroyer. The firing was carried out by a Kh-35 missile from the Uran-E ship-based missile system. The Kh-35 missile flies at an altitude of 4 to 15 meters and is capable of hitting a target, depending on the modification, at a range of up to 300 kilometers. The mass of the missile's warhead is 145 kg. According to the cost-effectiveness criterion, the Uran-E missile system is one of the best in the world.

Despite the fact that the Russian BMPT Terminator is rarely shown, the training of crews for these combat vehicles continues. Footage of training and interviews with crews are shown. During the training, servicemen improve their skills, share experience and new tactical techniques. The BMPT Terminator is designed to operate as part of tank formations to destroy enemy anti-tank weapons.

It is still kind of weak in terms of air defense after the upgrade. Only short range air defenses. It was originally designed for ASW. At least it can use the latest surface strike weapons and has modernized sensors and electronics. The Kh-35 has also mostly fallen out of favor with the Russian Navy who want longer range strike weapons. It is kind of silly when one rinky dinky corvette like the Buyan can outrange it.
