Russia unveiled its latest Pantsir SMD-E short-range air defense system at the Dubai Airshow 2025, positioning the advanced module as its answer to the escalating global drone threat. Unlike its predecessors, the SMD-E is a missile-only, highly modular system capable of loading up to 48 mini-missiles or 12 full-size ones, specifically designed to counter massive UAV swarms and protect critical infrastructure. Russia is targeting Middle Eastern, African, and Southeast Asian buyers, presenting Pantsir SMD-E as a cost-effective alternative to Western air defense platforms like Patriot or NASAMS.
