Russia is planning to showcase a new, advanced version of its anti-aircraft-gun-missile (AAGM) system Pantsir this month in Moscow. The upgraded version of the air defense missile and artillery system has been designed especially keeping in mind its export value.

The Pantsir anti-aircraft-gun-missile system is considered as one of the most effective weapons during air combats and has been used by Russia time and again. Pantsir’s most recent use was in Syria. If reports are to be believed, the upgrade was carried out on the basis of experience gained during the Syrian campaign.

A new advanced version of the famous Pantsir anti-aircraft-gun-missile system will be unveiled during the country’s annual military parade in Moscow’s Red Square. The parade, which was to be held earlier, had to be postponed on President Vladimir Putin’s orders as the coronavirus spread across Russia. The grand military parade will now be held on June 24 as coronavirus cases appear to have stabilized.
