Intensive training with air defence artillery-missile systems
Combat crews of the Pantsir S-1 artillery-missile system are undergoing intensive training at peacetime locations of the 250th Air Defence Missile Brigade’s units.
The training aims to further improve the ability of members of the Pantsir missile battalion to prepare and conduct operations with maximum use of this combat vehicle’s capabilities.The focus is on training young officers and NCOs during the preparation and execution of firing and combat crews during the transfer of the artillery-missile battery to high alert.
As part of the complex training, they are practicing gun emplacement, shifting the system to different levels of alert, the tasks of combat crews aboard command and combat vehicles, reloading of missiles, as well as the repair of malfunctions.
Exercises like this, which the unit conducts throughout the year, are crucial for maintaining a high level of competency and combat readiness of the unit, whose ability to engage different targets and protect military and other facilities from aerial attacks has significantly improved following the introduction of this system into operational use.
The Pantsir S-1 air defence artillery-missile system can engage ground and aerial targets while moving, during rest halts and from firing positions, and its integration into the air defence system has improved the ability of the Serbian Armed Forces to control and protect the airspace of the Republic of Serbia.
