“The Pantsir-S1 on the roof of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow failed to shoot down a drone that flew 300 meters away.
The Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system has been standing on the roof of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Moscow for several months now. The day before, it failed to destroy a drone flying nearby.
On the morning of July 24, Moscow was attacked by unmanned aerial vehicles. One of the drones exploded near the building of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which has had a Pantsir-S1 on its roof since late 2022.
The wreckage of the drone was found on Komsomolsky Avenue, 300 meters from the Defense Ministry building. Journalists of the Russian service of Radio Liberty noted the absence of any signs of Pantsir-S1’s operation. Perhaps the anti-aircraft missile and gun system is located too high and cannot fire downward.
