The Russian-made Pantsir-S1 gun-missile complex proved to be quite effective in Syria, while Vietnam also successfully built its own "mini Pantsir-S1".

Russian military expeditionary forces in Syria are equipped with very modern anti-aircraft weapons. Similarly, Syrian defense is not the same.

Both have in common that they own a gun complex - air defense missiles Pantsir-S1 is called "assassin" for all kinds of flying targets, especially small-sized airplanes, terrain-bound. such as cruise missiles, gliding bombs, mini unmanned aircraft, ...

Through the battle in Syria - the most fierce battlefield in the world since 2015, Pantsir-S1 has proven to be quite good combat performance.

Although there is still conflicting information that this low-range air defense complex is not as great as the advertisement, but the new, beautiful and smart "new, beautiful and smart" bombs, missiles from the US-France and Israel or the UAV. The Syrian rebel's small army was continuously defeated in large numbers, and it was Pantsir-S1 who made miraculous things.

Along with other types of anti-aircraft missiles such as Buk-M2, Kub, Pechora, Strela-10M, Pantsir-S1 has contributed greatly, helping to prevent Syria from breaking the massive attack of British-French-American in April. 2018 as well as successfully stopping Israel's sudden and clever attacks.

Along with Tor-M2, Pantsir-S1 safely protected Russian heads in Syria such as Khmeimim Air Base and Tartus naval base when shooting down almost all unmanned aircraft carrying explosives. Homemade attacks on these important maids.

Thanks to what has proven to be in Syria, Pantsir-S1 becomes one of the world's best-selling low-range air defense complexes.

Vietnam is a country with economic, scientific and technical potential, especially military science and technology is limited while always having to deal with the enemy's many, rich, armed Modern, smart in large quantities. Therefore, our combat motto is still an asymmetric warfare, mainly to prevent and fight back.

In the past years, with the attention of the Party and the State, under the direct direction of the Ministry of Defense, besides purchasing new and modern equipment from foreign countries, our defense industry In-depth investment has been made to manufacture relatively modern equipment, gradually mastering new technologies.

One of the most recent and proud achievements is that the Vietnam National Technology Association has applied new scientific and technological achievements to successfully manufacture a fast-moving, low-range anti-aircraft missile A-72. bridge of modern warfare, contributing to breaking the enemy's attacks both day and night.

The project was jointly deployed by Military PK-KQ and Military Science and Technology Institute. Accordingly, the combination of 4 shoulder-mounted A-72 missiles mounted on a launcher integrated with the optical optical observation system and central control system, helps the controller to fully control all operations. action war.

Observatory includes infrared thermal imaging camera, day light camera along with laser distance measurement system with integrated line-of-sight stabilization system that enables the system to work in the process of maneuvering and future operations , make sure to observe, catch and launch bullets to destroy targets in all weather conditions, regardless of day or night.

The rocket and optoelectronic equipment meet the requirements for automation and missile preparation and ensure high firepower performance incorporating target information from the self-guided missile and optoelectronic devices. meet the requirement of sticking and choose the low-shot target with a low flying target with accurate terrain.

Regarding the features of the A-72 missile, nothing has changed compared to the original design, it is still possible to carry the shoulder launcher normally, but when it comes to the vehicle, just change the preparation part. It is possible to release 4 consecutive fruits with a spacing of less than 15 seconds, increasing the ability to resist air raids.

When conditions permit, we can fully integrate more modern missiles like Igla-S to further enhance the combat power of this complex.

Since this is a mobile air defense combination, they are highly capable of independent combat because the system has to wait to continuously receive information from other reconnaissance vehicles on the air situation. With this success will pave the way for the development of more modern "Made in Vietnam" mobile air defense systems.

However, in order to achieve the sophistication, precision and efficiency as a combination of Russian-made Pantsir-S1, Vietnamese scientists will have to strive and need more time. However, if we do not start from today, we will be forever behind the world.

Therefore, we have the right to be proud of the "mini Pantsir-S1 Made in Vietnam" product.
