China presented an improved analogue of the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile system with a longer target range

The Chinese analogue of the Pantsir-S air defense missile system may oust Russian weapons from the market.

Against the background of how the Russian anti-aircraft missile-gun complex "Pantsir" demonstrated the highest efficiency in Syria and Libya, the PRC decided to create its own analogue of the "Pantsir-S" air defense missile system, which, as it turned out, was able to surpass the Russian development in a number of parameters. Taking into account the fact that today a number of countries are interested in acquiring Russian complexes, China can knock out Russian air defense missile systems from foreign markets. This, by the way, is facilitated by the lower cost and the absence of possible sanctions from the United States.

On the presented video frames, you can see a kind of advertisement for the Chinese air defense missile system FK-2000, which, apparently, can effectively fire cannons and rocket weapons while on the move. Moreover, according to China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation Limited, the complex is capable of hitting targets at distances of up to 25 kilometers. This is superior to the Pantsir-S air defense missile systems in service with the Russian army, yielding, in fact, only to the modernized Pantsir-SM version, which has a target engagement range of up to 40 kilometers.

According to a number of data, countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Iraq and Serbia have already shown interest in the Chinese FK-2000 air defense systems, that is, potential buyers of the Russian Pantsir-S air defense systems.

A copy will never be better than the original.

Competition? It is wonderful. Nothing motivates like competition. There is a way for our engineers to move.

Let's still define. Why do air defenses of the near zone need an infinite radius of destruction? There are other systems for this. The armor clearly lacks hot readiness ammunition. Time may not be given to recharge ....

It is unlikely that those who are waging real hostilities with a technologically superior enemy will be forced to buy something Chinese, like the Syrians, who beat off attacks from the Israeli Air Force or dushmans every week, exchange Russian AKMs for Chinese ones.

Don't bite on a worm, today bite on a maggot.

What a great approach to comparisons. The modernized FK-2000, existing in the form of a running mock-up, has a 5 km longer range than the serially produced Pantsir-S1. Is it okay that by the time this modernized FK-2000 goes for export, Russia will already begin to supply the Panir-SM, with a range of 15 km more, and the current FK-2000 is twice as low as the Pantsir-C1 in terms of range? Let us then compare the hypothetical S-500E with the FK-2000, and on the basis of this comparison we will come to the conclusion that China has no chance at all to compete in the air defense systems market. :)

Well, why not compare it with "Pantsir-SM"?)) We chose something that is inferior in terms of performance to its Chinese counterpart, but there is something that is superior. A strange comparison.

The cartoon is not bad. But "Mascha and the Bear" is better.
Although 12 missiles per charge is a clear success. And it is high time for Pantsyr to increase his ammunition load.

And why is it better than the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile system, if you write that the Chinese complex is capable of hitting targets at distances of up to 25 kilometers, and the upgraded version of the Pantsir-SM has a target hitting range of up to 40 kilometers?

Well done, what can you say and well done in everything, while Russia is slowly and creakingly advancing in front, China overcomes these distances three times faster, taking buyers from Russia.
