if its on land its a different designation to not confuse the paper pen pushers in paper work
Kashtan only uses the missile from pantsir system, and uses 2xAK-630 for close-in
The C-RAM other name is the LPWS (Land Phalanx Weapons System) it’s literally just a land phalanx CIWS

your own sources you pushed out state the same thing panstir M is naval ciws while S1 and S2 are point defence air batterys
Have you heard of a dual role weapons system?
CIWS role is also a type of point defence btw

**Pantsir-M is a russian close in weapons system for naval use
The Pantsir (Russian: Панцирь, lit. ‘[body] armour’) missile system is a family of self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery systems. Three types of vehicles make up one system: a missile launcher, a radar truck and a command post. Starting with the Pantsir-S1 (Russian: Панцирь-С1, NATO reporting name SA-22 Greyhound ) as the first version, it is produced by KBP Instrument Design Bureau of Tula, Russia, and is the successor to the Tunguska M1.
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.
