So Pantsir does work against air targets! So far the footage from Ukraine suggested the thing did not work.

Ukraine serves their own best interest by making Russia seem incompetent (we'll be in Crimea by 2024, right?) while simultaneously making themselves look as though they are perpetually short on supplies.

LoL.. Russia does not need help from anyone for that. Stick some contractniki in an Pantsir with minimal training and you get what you get.

Underestimating the Russian army would be foolish and Ukraine does not seem to do that. The harsh reality is visible for them every day. Plans change.. From 3 days to Kiev to forever war for example.

I just thought it was funny to see a Pantsir not being ganked by a 400 dollar drone for a change.
