Russia deploys prized Pantsir system to defend Crimea bridge—report
Russia's Pantsir-S1 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and missile system has been used by the military throughout Russian President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is believed to be worth in the area of $15 million.
The mobile, short-range system is designed for use against aircraft, cruise missiles, precision-guided munitions and for supporting other air defense units against larger strikes.
Atesh, a pro-Kyiv military partisan group of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars, said in July that Russia had begun redeploying air defenses to shield the Kerch Strait Bridge.
