SBU: Ukraine has destroyed nearly half of Russian Pantsirs since the beginning of the year

According to glavcom.ua: Ukrainian forces are actively eliminating Russian Pantsirs. The head of the SBU, Vasyl Malyuk, reported that since the beginning of 2025, they have destroyed almost half of the enemy's surface-to-air missile and gun complexes. This is an important achievement in the country's defense. According to Malyuk, the 'Pantsirs' posed a threat to Ukrainian long-range drones, making their elimination a priority. It is worth noting that the number of complexes destroyed by Ukrainian troops exceeds Russia's annual production of this targeted weapon.

The Pantsir is a fairly powerful weapon that combines missiles and guns to strike aerial targets at short distances. This complex has posed a serious challenge for the Ukrainian military; however, their successful actions indicate a high level of combat readiness and the effectiveness of the Ukrainian army.
