    Apart from the 4 Mi-35 helicopters that we already saw in action, what else has been delivered from Russia to Iraq?

    Let's hope, that Pantsir will not have to do its firework with its guns. On the other hand thermal imager and guns are good deterrence against terrorists, which could hide in forest. Let them stay silent. Any round fired from it will mean big troubles.

    Some interesting Pantsir news:

    For the "shell" Winter Olympic Games in Sochi will not be the last major sporting events. Brazil intends to buy Russia complexes "Armour-C1."

    Rostec Brazil offered a comprehensive program "Safe City". In the framework of Russia will supply complexes "Armour", which "will cover" sports venues of the World Cup in 2014 and 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

    Now the Russian Army 35 complexes "Armour-C1." It is expected that 2017 will be "shell" of the new generation. New "shell" will be modified for all branches of the Armed Forces of Russia. In particular, the Ministry of Defense is very interested in a marine complex. We have already decided that under the sea "Armour" will modernize a number of destroyers and other large ships. In addition, in the interests of Russian Ground Forces and airborne troops developed a modification of the anti-aircraft missile and gun complex "Armour" crawler based on KAMAZ "Typhoon-K" .

    Pantsir based on the Typhoon-K for the VDV?

    Wat?

    Just the baseline Typhoon-K already tops 20 tons. Fitting it with a Pantsir will add tons more. How do they intend to airdrop this thing?

    Not sure, but maybe for the Typhoon version they could have an automatic loading system with 10 or 20 extra missiles within the main body of the truck. BTW I can't wait to see Pantsirs at the world cup and at the Summer Olympics! russia

    I suspect Typhoon-K means Typhoon developed by Kamaz, so we are not talking about the Taifun 20 ton truck, we are talking about the 4-6 wheeled Typhoon family in the 10-15 ton class.

    May Day parades are just going to be so fascinating from next year...

    Nice, so it looks like the newer versions of Pantsir will dispense with the guns.

    I don't see any guns.

    I suspect if the Army is adopting 57mm guns with laser guided shells that it might eclipse the 30mm shell in the air defence role...

    Or they might have split the functions and have a dedicated gun vehicle and a dedicated missile vehicle.

    Yeah, the 57 mm canon could be for slower missile carrying targets like UCAV's and helicopters, and the missiles will be used against other missiles. Question, is it possible that we could see a modernized version of the ZSU-57-2, instead of two barrels, but with one barrel and a set of missiles?

    The 57mm rounds were replaced by 23mm shells because the higher rate of fire meant a higher hit probability with more round per second being fired at the target.

    The 23mm rounds increased hit probability the same way a shotgun blast of hundreds of pellets is more likely to hit a small fast moving and manouvering target than a single projectile even if that single projectile is much heavier.

    The switch to 30mm was to increase hitting power and extend effective range.

    A shift back to 57mm is only really practical with laser guided shells increasing hit probability per shell to a very high level of confidence.

    Ironically small elusive targets should be more effectively engaged by guided shells and the heavier calibre means greatly extending the effective range against even very small targets.

    Needless to say a long burst of 30mm cannon shells would be needed to reliably defeat a small target like a UAV, but a single guided 57mm shell could do the same job which means a 57mm gun would be better equipped to deal with lots of targets and at much greater range than a 30mm calibre system.

    The higher cost of each shell will be offset by the fact that far fewer would be needed to be used and the much heavier shell weight means more effect on target and fewer hits needed to take out heavier targets like helicopters.

    Actually I would think if the new gun is to be used on their new IFVs to deal with heavily armoured enemy IFVs then it might make sense to have a separate vehicle armed with a single gun and extra ammo in the troop compartment of the IFV and of course loaded with mostly laser guided shells plus a few armour piercing and a few HE for other purposes.

    These vehicles could receive data directly from the missile vehicles it will operate with so it does not need its own radar.

    The special optical targeting systems with laser target markers would be sufficient to guide the shells and target aircraft totally passively in terms of radio and radar frequencies.

    Attempts to block the system using DIRCMs could be dealt with using laser beam riding shells as well as laser homing shells.

    Of course with laser homing shells the target would not be marked till the shell is about 1 second away from impact and side thruster rockets can fire to put the shell on target in the last second... very little time for the target to react effectively.

    As a modular system, the Pantsir' family has many options of missile types, missile numbers, gun types and numbers, and radar and other sensor types and numbers, but the fact that they are still calling this variant an "ADMGS" might indicate that TR1 is right.

    The guns might just be 2A72 guns here.
