The USA predicted problems from the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile systems.

Despite the fact that the Israeli military managed to successfully destroy the two Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems in Syria, the United States believes that these Russian air defense systems pose a serious danger to US military aircraft.

“In the mountainous Arizona desert, hiding behind an almost 500-meter rocky hill, the AH-64E helicopter launches a missile at a target located on the opposite slope. This target imitates the Russian “Shell” complex, equipped with medium-range air-to-air missiles. ”- reports "Defense News".

Nevertheless, despite the fact that the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile system was successfully "destroyed" by the AH-64 Apache helicopter, the US fears that in real combat the Russian Pantsir-S will pose a serious threat and could easily disrupt military operations, moreover, experts share this opinion.

“This is the biggest threat to American aviation. Therefore, all of their training is conducted on Russian mock-ups, American pilots are training for them to destroy our air defense systems ”- notes Yuri Knutov.

“The Americans are always trying to achieve maximum realism: arrange aerial battles with airplanes and helicopters, painted like ours, use our equipment to train their marines, even build villages for training. It’s not surprising that they made a model of the “Shell”, and did not put any container for the attack ”- commented Dmitry Drozdenko, a columnist for Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine
