RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Russia- 23 December 2022. Pantsir-S SAM systems continue to destroy AFU air assets. STORYLINE: Russian air defence units are on round-the-clock alert to protect the airspace in the area of the special military operation. In the course of combat duty, Pantsir SAM systems destroy aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles of the AFU, as well as missiles of various classes. Modern anti-aircraft detection systems allow operators to detect both large moving objects in the sky, such as cruise and ballistic missiles, helicopters, aircraft or MLRS shells, as well as smaller ones, such as the domestic drones that the AFU often uses for reconnaissance. The intensity of the complex calculations is marginal. Up to 10 objectives per day are detected by the crews. In case of entering the engagement range of Pantsir systems, objectives are instantly destroyed. The systems output full effectiveness. That is why Russian air defence missile and gun systems are hunted. The units' crews carefully camouflage their vehicles and change their locations several times per shift. Servicemen of tactical air defence perform their work precisely, cohesively and professionally. They understand that the lives of personnel that operates at contact line depend on them.
