I have a feeling that you haven’t watched the video that is indicated in my post. Watch it and you will see that the Pantsir missile flies according to completely different laws of physics. It does not lose speed at all. As for the Pantsir missile being shot down at 8 km, this is a lie, the Pantsir missile has shot me down at 18 km when I was flying to the side.
It’s because 1. It’s smaller 2. sustainer is almost always on through to nearly 12km in game, 3.It’s got less drag cause it doesn’t have round tip for IR seeker.
This does not explain why the speed of other rockets drops two or even three times faster.
Its sustainer is on for longer than everyone else, it has a sharp tip and not round IR dome, it is 90mm compared to 180mm of IRIST SLM or even 127 of IRIST. Also as it is faster it takes longer to drop to lower speeds, especially transonic where drag is highest.

The Pantsir missile’s main engine operates for 3.5 seconds, while the AIM-120C5 engine operates for 8 seconds.
Ignoring the hugely long sustainer? The booster gets it to Mach 4, whilst AMRAAM doesn’t. Also the booster is dumped after that, whilst AMRAAM remains a 177 mm missile for its entire duration. Which means it is not optimising weight saving.
Are you making this up yourself or do you have sources for this information somewhere? I searched the entire Internet and nowhere did I find information that the 57E6 missiles have two stages.
The 57E6 missile (Pantsir-S1 SAM system) does not have a second stage in the classical sense (like multi-stage missiles). It is a single-stage missile with a solid-fuel engine that operates for 2.6-3 seconds. They do not separate, it does not have a booster or anything.
IDK if I am allowed to show it but this is what is left of the missile in final stage.
Spoiler
You see much of the back is gone, and the new engine nozzel is exposed.
go check it out, every single missile is in two parts, sustainer or booster.
In game animation.
IDK where you are looking but my entire google page says it does.

Ok, I’m waiting for the link.
IDK about you, but every source I found on 57E6 or 95YA6 says two stage solid fuel rocket. 57E6 Pantsir – Open Source Munitions Portal
There is nothing written here.
Where are the official sources that talk about the rocket having a second engine?
Neither did it say single stage, did it.
On the left however was a statement from export display of dual stage solid rocket missile.
Can anyone tell me what was said here? I’m sure it was completely correct but touched a nerve as usual.

IDK but they need to start giving people month long vacations for abusing community flags, its been awful recently.
