Description

The 72V6 "Pantsir-S1" is a rank VIII Soviet SPAA with a battle rating of 12.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Sky Guardians".

Survivability and armour

Armourfront / side / back

Visibility-862 %

The Pantsir-S1 doesn't offer a strong armor of any kind, the strongest part of the vehicle is the 40mm armored glass that protects the driver. On the front, sides and rear there is mostly a 6mm - 5mm structural steel armor and high hardness rolled armor.

The crew placement makes it even more vulnerable, as the 3 crew members are placed near eachother, making a single shot lethal for the majority (every time if the shot is from the front) of the time, making this vehicle unsuited for tank-to-tank combat.

The best choice is to find natural or artificial cover to avoid being seen or being exposed to enemy fire.

Notes: The structural steel located on the bottom of the Pantsir-S1 is 35 mm thick, being on the same level of the upper transmission.

The Pantsir-S1 is a wheeled vehicle, making any crossing on mud, snow or ice difficult.

This vehicle moves thanks to the KamAZ 740.632-400, that offers 354HP at 1900RPM. The max speed while moving forward is 70km/h, while for moving backwards is a sub 10km/h making retreats difficult.

Main article: 2A38M (30 mm)

Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

Cons:

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
