MOSCOW, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Russia is going to supply Pantsir-S air defense systems to Serbia in the next few months, director general of the Russian state-owned arms exporter Rosoboronexport, said Wednesday.
"The contract will be completed in the coming months," TASS news agency quoted Alexander Mikheev as saying.
Pantsir-S is designed for protection of civilian and military objects from air attack in any weather, climate and electronic environment around the clock. The complex can also provide protection from ground and surface threats.
One Pantsir-S consists of 12 surface-to-air missiles that have a maximum range of 30 km and a 30-mm double-barreled gun with a firing range of up to 4000 meters.
Russian Aerospace Forces sent a battalion of S-400 missile defense systems and a squadron of Pantsir-S systems to Serbia for joint military drills in late October.
