In the USA, they announced the destruction of the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile system.

As follows from the information provided by the Defense News information resource, the American AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, using the Israeli Spike NLOS guided missile, was able to successfully destroy the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile system.

“In the Arizona mountain desert, an AH-64E helicopter hiding behind rocky mountains 1600 feet high fired a missile at a target representing the Russian Shell medium-range missile system. This marked the second successful launch, which was able to destroy the ground target. "- reports edition.

According to the data presented, we are talking about a goal that actually simulates the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile defense system, which indicates the fact that the United States is actively developing weapons and methods to combat Russian weapons.

It is not known how clean this experiment was, but the modern Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile systems can hit targets at long distances, which raises a number of questions for specialists.

“In the US, they could only superficially assess the characteristics of the Russian Pantsir air defense missile systems, without delving into their real capabilities. The mountain range was definitely covered by an American attack helicopter, but the missile could just as well have been shot down by the Russian Pantsir before hitting the target. ", - the expert marks.

It is not known what specific real model of the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile system is in question, but Washington could well have received objective information about these air defense systems from countries that have already adopted the complexes, including the UAE.
