Original Posted By letnan.dirgan►Gua rasa Pantsir bukan betul-betul "Sekedar" Produk Gagal, terutama varian terbarunya itu. Cuman butuh pengembangan lanjut saja. (Perbaiki dulu, katakanlah Deteksi Drone)

Soal masalah Pantsir ini, bergantung pada pihak manufakturnya untuk memperbaikinya atau membiarkannya "jatuh". Sayang banget kalo Sistarhanud yang "Unik" ini karirnya tidak bersinar dengan "Cemerlang" (Dimana lagi harus menemukan kombinasi Rudal+Meriam Otomatis yang lain? Tunggu, Ane lupa masih ada Tunguska).. btw Pihak manufaktur malah menambahkan Rudal "AntiDrone".

Ngomong-ngomong, Tor-M2U yang saingan Pantsir itu Platform Peluncur Rudal. Kurasa yang bisa dikatakan saingan sama Pantsir itu Tunguska deh.

9M311 and 57E6 Surface to Air Missiles and 2A38 Gun
The 2K22 / 96K6 / SA-19 / SA-22 systems use variants of one basic missile and one basic gun design.

The missile designs are all derivatives of the two stage command link guided 9M311 weapon. This is a 42 kg launch weight missile, with a low smoke motor intended to avoid problems with optical/infrared tracking of targets and laser rangefinding. The second terminal kill stage is unpowered and relies on kinetic energy imparted by the boost stage, the design strategy intended to minimise the dead weight and drag of the kill stage. Average missile speed is cited at 600 m/s (~Mach 2), and the weapon has a cited capability to engage targets manoevring at 5-7G, although this is not consistent with the cited 18G capability of the missile.

Early variants of the missile use a laser proximity fuse, later variants a radio proximity fuse, with a blast fragmentation warhead. The fuse is triggered ~5 metres from the target. An impact fuse is also provided, with the proximity fuse disabled for shots against surface targets.

The principal differences between the production 57E6 missile, and earlier 9M311 and 9M335, are the use of a larger booster and filament wound composite casings replacing light metal alloys, and the introduction of a larger and more lethal expanding rod warhead. The higher impulse of the propulsion system, and lighter missile structure, result in greater range and velocity compared to the 2K22 / SA-19 missile system.

All missiles are ejected from the launch tube / storage container by a gas generator cartridge, with the booster ignited once the missile has cleared a safe distance. Aerodynamic canard controls are employed for the second stage. Russian sources claim the use of a ram air generator to power the missile electronics, but there is not visible evidence of conventionl vanes for this purpose.

The 57E6 missile weighs 71 kg at launch, of which 20 kg is the warhead section. Booster burn duration is 1.5 seconds, accelerating the missile to 1220 metres/s. The cited velocity profile for the 57E6-E export variant is 900 metres/s at 12 km and 700 metres/s at 18 km range.

The 90 mm diameter expanding rod warhead uses 5 kg of explosive filler, and employs 47 rods of 5 mm diameter and 770 mm length. This is intended to provide a 100 percent probability of hitting a coplanar target at a range of up to 6 metres, and a 65 percent probability of hitting a coplanar target at a range of 9 metres. The warhead is designed to produce ~700 2.8 gram fragments, and ~2,260 0.9 gram fragments. The radar proximity fuse range is cited at 9 metres.

Export 57E6-E missile rounds employ a longer burn duration booster which has raised the peak velocity to 1,300 metres/s. These rounds have a launch weight of 75.7 kg.

Missile rounds for domestic Russian PVO use are designated the 95Ya6 series, with the current block designated the 95Ya6.04. These missiles are cited to have an effective range of 20 km and ceiling of 15 km, making them highly competitive against legacy area defence SAMs.

An improved SAM round for PVO use, believed to be the 23Ya6, is expected to soon be introduced. This weapon would appear to use the same terminal stage as the current 57E6/95Ya6 series, but introduces a longer and larger 210 mm diameter booster stage, versus the 170 mm diameter booster in current rounds. Russian sources suggest an ability to engage targets travelling at 1,850 metres/sec, against 1,000 metres/sec cited for the existing round. With higher kinetic energy the improved missile would reduce engagement times, and provide more G capability for endgame manoeuvres - otherwise a traditional weakness of command link and beam rising SAMs.

The 2A38 series 30 mm gun is a twin barrel revolver design with a belt feed and an electrical drive. The barrels are cooled using water or an anti-freeze fluid. The barrels can be elevated to +85º and depressed to -9º relative to the turret base. Cited total rate of fire for the 2K22 variant of the gun is 4060-4810 rds/min with a muzzle velocity of 960-980 m/sec. A range of shell types are available including tracers, HEI and fragmentation.
