Russia will deliver Pantsir-S air defense missile/gun systems to Serbia according to a contract within the coming months, Rosoboronexport’s Director General Alexander Mikheev told TASS.

“[System] manufacture and [Serbian expert] training are underway, everything is on track with no delays. The training will be completed very soon; the Russian party is commencing the delivery. The contract will be fulfilled within the coming months,” - Mikheev said answering the question.

On October 24, President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic stated that Belgrade ordered a Pantsir-S system. Two days later, Serbian Minister of Defense Aleksandar Vulin said that the Pantsir-S would become part of the Serbian army armament.

The Pantsir-S system is designed for close defense of civilian and military facilities against air assault means in any weather and climate and any jamming environment during daytime or at night. The system can also defend the protected facility against land and surface threats.
