Russia speeds up Pantsir-S1 export to Vietnam
A delegation of Russian diplomatic missions abroad recently visited the Shcheglovsky Val Joint Stock Company, where Pantsir-S1 air defense systems are assembled.
According to information from tsn24.ru, on Monday, July 23, Shcheglovsky Val Joint Stock Company welcomed a delegation of distinguished guests, including ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions of Russia in 13 countries around the world.
The delegation visiting the Shcheglovsky Val production facility included representatives of the Russian diplomatic agency in Vietnam along with several other countries such as Algeria, Mozambique, Bahrain, Sierra Leon, Guinea... all of which are potential customers of Russian weapons.
They were introduced by the head of the enterprise about many of its strong products, which are defense weapons produced according to KBP's orders, of which the Pantsir anti-aircraft missile-gun complex stands out.

It should be noted that the delegation included commercial and defense attaches from the local embassies, who were fully briefed on the superior features of the weapons produced by Shcheglovsky Val.
The visit of high-ranking Russian diplomats abroad to work at the arms factory is believed to have no other purpose than to promote the export of these special items to interested partners.
During their time on duty in the host country, these diplomatic officials will be responsible for marketing Russian weapons to potential customers, so it is extremely necessary to thoroughly understand the features and functions of the Pantisr-S1.

It is known that the Pantsir-S1 short-range anti-aircraft missile and artillery system has long been an item of interest to Vietnam and may proceed to purchase in the near future.
With a tradition of prioritizing the purchase of weapons, military equipment and supplies that have proven their capabilities on the battlefield, Vietnam can be completely assured when witnessing the excellent performance of Pantsir-S1 in Syria.
Now that Russia has moved to promote the sale of Pantsir-S1 to military partners, Vietnam can consider the possibility of moving straight to the most advanced version, Pantsir-SM, as Moscow has handed over a few of these complexes to Algeria to test their features in the field.
