In Syria, 20 Turkish Bayraktar attack drones at once attacked the Russian Pantsir-C1 air defense missile system.
The massive attack was caught on video and published in the media, Soha reported.
This attack, analysts say, was a response to the devastating destruction of Turkish pilots. Ankara decided to destroy the Pantsir-C1 air defense missile system so that this weapon would not interfere with further operations of the pro-Turkish forces in Syria.
However, the attack on 20 Bayraktar drones at once ended in failure. Most of the missiles fired by the drones were destroyed by the Pantsir-S complex. Only one rocket exploded near him, but it did not cause serious damage. The complex received minor damage, and it was quickly repaired by the Russian military.
Turkish military expert Enes Kai spoke about this attack on the Pantsir-C1 complexes in the Syrian province of Idlib. He noted that it was rather difficult to reflect it. In such situations, it is important that the operator of the complex does not make a mistake, since the drones can be shot down if they do not come within the missile launch distance. At shorter distances, the complex is no longer effective against drones.
