The Russian Military-Industrial complex,  a member of the “Vjsokotochny”-High-Precision complex Holding is displaying  new  air defense and artillery systems, among which are the land based “Pantsir” and the  sea based “Palma” systems. Alexander Denisov, Director General of the company had this to say about the it ems of his  firm.

 

The showpieces of our equipment  are the “Pantsir” and the  “Palma” missile-canon systems, developed at the Tulsky design bureau  of air defense equipment. They  are unmatched in the world in terms of combat qualities. The Pantsir-S1 can destroy cruise missiles, the drone, air and land based targets by using rocket or the artillery-canon system. The Pantsir has  gone into service with the  Russian army, and specialists say it is  good as an independent weapon in an air attack, as  well  as an air defense means to protect servicemen on  the move. Pantsir is also capable of protecting strategic facilities. Palma was developed for  deployment onboard ships of difference classes. It is designed to take on high precision weapons,  warplanes and unmanned planes. It is different from its predecessor by high precision and an ability to hit targets without fail, as well as an ability to neutralize jamming. Some foreign count ries shave purchased Palma for their s hips. In talking about those two systems, it is necessary to point out that they are relatively cheap. Hence  the deployment  is in harmony with the criteria of cost and  effectiveness. In addition to those two systems, there is also the  “Kornet”- an anti-missile system, whose major task is destroying armoured targets. Our designers have created  a modified  version of the system called “Kornet”Em”, which has an additional  ability of destroying low  flying and low speed air  targets-copters and  drones”, said Alexander Denisov.

 

There is high interest in the equipment of the “Visokotochny” Holding  and Pantsir has been delivered to some countries in the  Middle East, he added.
