Sukhoi business jet top speed is 950km/hr. this seems higher than Airbus ACJs.

The Aurus has a range of more than 7,000 km (3,800 nm), Chemezov said. Cruise speed is 830 km/h (about 448 knots) and top speed is 950 km/h (513 knots). Maximum takeoff weight of the 98-foot-long aircraft, meanwhile, is 49,450 kg (109,000 pounds). Its cabin spans 20.48 meters (67 feet).

they either overproduce engines that laying around or the engines overhauled to make it new.

The designer of the transmission was the MIL Bureau , means incorporating new engine relativly easy .

It is not a professional work, and the cage could be effecive against old, RPG-7 kind of weapons, not modern ones.

Actually it could increase the effectiveness of a modern shaped charge, instead of reduce it in bad case, in good case it won't do anything.


The person whom desinged it has no clue about the basic geometry calculations of the ERA vs shaped charge.

And one of the supporting column actually blocking the gunner's sight, as well the ERA block casually droped sideways.

Based on the wellies and the lack of insignia if I have to bet I would say these are palamiritary groups, maybe one of the Ukrainan battalion, like the Azov ?
The Donets/Luthanks groups could get Russian help, so they would not make this kind of mistake.

At this point, I'd just go with the theory it is actually meant to defend against drone improvised bomblets rather than any actual defense against top-attack missiles

It is a tank, the top of it is weak against shaped charges, but a simple pack of explosive won't perforate it.

And the Russian military doesn't use bomblets, but shaped charges.

The design deffinitivly done by a person with lot of time on his hand and neglible understanding about basic physics .

I don't think the idea is to augment the existing armour so much as to supplement it. If you look at the Karabakh war, a lot of the drone or loitering munition attacks against MBTs were mere mobility/mission kills, for all the reasons you mention. They damaged power train or cooling system components or sensors or injured/killed crew members in open hatches. These screens seem to be an attempt to mitigate this kind of vulnerability, one that the existing armour does not even attempt to address.

Russia’s upgraded Pantsyr anti-aircraft missile/gun system can fight any strike drones


The Pantsyr-S1M has received new hypersonic surface-to-air missiles that has boosted its striking range from 20 km to 30 km, its operational altitude from 15 km to 18 km and its destruction area threefold

MOSCOW, November 30. /TASS/. The upgraded Pantsyr-S1M surface-to-air missile/gun system is capable of fighting all types of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including strike drones, Industrial Director of the Armaments Cluster at the state tech corporation Rostec Bekkhan Ozdoyev told TASS on Tuesday.

"The upgrade has substantially boosted the Pantsyr’s capabilities for fighting all types of drones. In particular, the system is capable of effectively detecting and destroying all types of strike drones that are in operational service," he said.

Deputy CEO of the High Precision Weapons Company (part of Rostec) Sergei Mikhailov told TASS at the EDEX 2021 international arms show that the upgraded Pantsyr had the potential to become the basis for tactical air defenses.

"The Pantsyr-S1M can be used as the basis for building an effective modular air defense network capable of shielding any military units from small-size and strike drones, precision weapons and, of course, military aviation - aircraft and helicopters. The system fully complies with the present-day A2/AD [anti-access/area denial] principles [an air defense system used to prevent an enemy from penetrating into vital areas]," Mikhailov said.

The Pantsyr-S1M has received new hypersonic surface-to-air missiles that has boosted its striking range from 20 km to 30 km, its operational altitude from 15 km to 18 km and its destruction area threefold. Along with new missiles, the system can also fire missiles of the Pantsyr-S1 launcher. The upgrade of the Pantsyr-S1M has also improved its stealth, jamming resistance and the rate of fire.

Russia’s state arms exporter Rosoboronexport signed the first contract on the delivery of Pantsyr-S1M anti-aircraft missile/gun systems at the Army 2021 international arms show on August 25.

Upgraded Pantsyr to lay basis for Russia’s multi-layered counter-drone system

The upgraded Pantsyr-S1M surface-to-air missile/gun system will be a major element of Russia’s multi-layered counter-drone system, Deputy CEO of the High Precision Weapons Company Sergei Mikhailov said at the EDEX international defense show running on November 29 - December 2 in Cairo.

"Countering drones is a major task for present-day air defense weapons. Currently, the Russian industry produces two types of counter-drone capabilities: ‘soft-kill’ to suppress drones by electronic countermeasures and ‘hard-kill’ to physically destroy UAVs. The network integrating both technologies was unveiled at the IDEX 2021 [international arms] show and the Pantsyr-S1M will be its major component, in particular, within a group of systems for physically eliminating drones," Mikhailov explained.

The Pantsyr-S1M is highly cost efficient in fighting modern drones, he said. "The munitions that are used make it possible to fully meet the cost/efficiency ratio in striking targets. We can confidently say that the Pantsyr-S1M is the world’s least expensive counter-drone system," he added.

It is but that’s only in optimal conditions stripped down. Even then it’s on a dash. However as it’s a jet liner and not a fighter that dash is of limited value. Even as a private jet the primary mode of operating is cruise. The aim being to offer the passengers a silky smooth ride with the maximum comfort. As such speed is less value than poshness.
