Pantsir-M[2] (Russian: Панцирь-М, lit. 'Carapace-M') is a Russian jamming-resistant naval close-in weapon system (CIWS) which entered service in 2018.[3] Pantsir-M will replace Kashtan-M systems in Russian Navy.[4][5][6][7]
According to Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov, Pantsir-M's destructive power is three to four times higher than Kashtan-M's.
