The Pantsir-S1 air defense artillery missile system has increased the firepower and maneuverability of the 250th Air Defense Rocket Brigade. The Pantsir is manufactured by KBP Instrument Design Bureau Tula, Russia, and is the successor to the Tunguska M1. The first version was completed in 1995 with the 1L36 radar, later others were designed.

t is a short to medium range, wheeled, tracked or stationary ground-based air defense system with two to three operators. Its air defense consists of automatic anti-aircraft guns and surface-to-air missiles with radar or optical target tracking and radio command guidance.

For its main radar station, the early detection altitude may be between 0–60° or 26–82° depending on the mode. The system is claimed to have significant advantages over other systems.

This was not confirmed by comparative tests but clearly following from the stated limits of the system's capabilities, there is a variant with two radar stations for early detection, back to back. The system has a modular structure that allows for quick and easy replacement of any part.
