A senior executive of the state-owned technology company Rostec announced in a statement that upgraded Pantsir surface-to-air missile/gun systems offer 100% defense against rockets of the HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system.
With the aid of these systems, the crew can detect cruise and ballistic missiles, helicopters, aircraft, MLRS rockets developed in the West and the Soviet Union, as well as 30×30 centimeters utility drones, which Ukrainian reconnaissance routinely employs to map out the terrain and serve as kamikaze drones.
