From Air Power Australia:

The latest Pantsir S1 configuration at MAKS-2007, carried by an 8 x 8 KAMAZ-6560 chassis. This variant incorporates a new Phazotron designed agile beam phased array engagement radar, derived from Phazotron's earlier effort on the Zhuk MF PESA air intercept radar. The primary design aim for this system was the interception of PGMs [sic], especially the AGM-88 HARM and GBUs (via Vestnik PVO).

The big threat today is a hijacked airliner.
