Description
The Pantsir-S2 is an improved version of the Pantsir-S1 which uses the same missile launcher and anti-aircraft cannons. The Pantsir-S2 can launch new surface-to-air missiles which increases the range from 20 to 30 km. The Pantsir-S2 is also fitted with a new SOTS S-band search radar to increase the detection range from 36 km to over 40 km. In April 2014, Colonel Yuri Muravkin, deputy commander of the air defense troops has announced that the Russian army will get an upgraded version of the Pantsir S-1 air defense system and a new missile. The new Pantisr-S2 has entered in service with the Russian army in 2015. It was deployed in Syria to protect the Russian air force troops at the Hmeymim airbase in Latakia. Footage from RT Ruptly of February 2016 has shown Pantsir-S2 stationed at the Hmeymim airbase in Latakia, Syria. In March 2020, President Alexandar Vucic has announced that Russia has completed the deliveries of the Pantsir-S1 (NATO reporting name: SA-22 Greyhound) self-propelled anti-aircraft gun-missile (SPAAGM) systems to Serbia. According to our analysis of pictures released on the official website of the Serbian Ministry of Defense, the Pantsir delivered to Serbia is the Pantsir-S2.

The cannons have a combined rate of fire of between 3,900 and 5,000 rounds per minute (1,950 to 2,500 rpm for each gun), and have a muzzle velocity of 960 m/s. Bursts of between 83 and 250 rounds are fired as determined by the target type, with an engagement range between 0.2 and 4.0 km and to an altitude of about 3 km. HE-T and HE-I shells are used and fitted with an A-670 time and impact fuze which includes an arming delay and self destruct mechanism.
Missiles
The Pantsir-2 fires the 57E6-E missiles which have a bicalibre body in tandem configuration, separable booster and sustainer with separation mechanism. The sustainer contains the warhead and contact and proximity fuses. The missile weighs 65 kg at launch and has a maximum speed of 1,100m/s. The range is from 1 km to 12km. It has expanded engagement zones up to 20 km in range and up to 10 km in altitude. The new missile of Pantsir-S2 will increase the system’s range of fire from 20 to 30 kilometers.
Mobility
The Pantsir-S2 uses a KAMAZ 6560 8x8 truck chassis. There is a two-man cab at the front of the truck chassis. The truck is motorized with KamAZ-740.35-400 turbocharged diesel engine, developing 400 hp. The truck has a total weight of 14,850 kg and can run at a maximum speed of 90 km with a maximum cruising range of 800 km.

The Pantsir-S2 is fitted with a new SOTS S-band search radar increases detection range from 36 km to over 40 km with 360° coverage. The system can now track in excess of 40 incoming targets up from 8-10, and can now engage targets traveling at up to 1,200 meters per second up from 1,000 m/s. Search azimuth has also been increased from 80° to 90° owed to electronic beam steering. The shape of the new antenna has change and is mounted at the top of the turret.
