According to reports from Russian sources, the crash of the anti-aircraft defense system occurred early in the morning near the bridge over the Mamaika River. Although the footage of the incident was circulated online, it mysteriously disappeared from various platforms soon after.

Video footage captured by surveillance cameras shows how the Pancir-S1 suddenly veered off course after crossing the bridge and fell onto the road.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the accident was caused by excessive speed, which caused the driver of the anti-aircraft defense system to lose control and was unable to control the vehicle in a turn – which ultimately led to the overturning of the Pancir.

“Zelensky with an invisibility cloak pushes Pantsir’s Pancir S1 in Sochi,” joked a post on social network X.

Later, a crane was used to raise the system to a vertical position.

The incident exposed the technical design flaws of the Pancir truck-mounted multi-mobile air defense systems, Defense Blog writes, particularly their high center of gravity, which makes maneuvering difficult and increases the risk of overturning, especially during sharp turns.
