In 2000, the national Council on intelligence, US predicted the economic and geopolitical situation in the world over the next 15 years, which in reality turned out to be incorrect. Thus, the leading American military experts predicted that Russia will become weak, lose weight on the world stage and can only “scare the neighbors” as its aging nuclear Arsenal.
American journalists of the newspaper “the Nationa lInterest” reported in air defence units of Russia’s new anti-aircraft missile systems s-500, which can hit aerial targets at altitudes of up to 200 kilometers. This latest Russian air defense system can intercept all the targets at a distance of 500 kilometers, as the earth and in space.
In addition to s-500 “Prometheus” production company “Almaz-Antey” air defense of the Russian Federation in the near future can appear s-350 “Vityaz”, which will replace the s-300PS.
According to the manufacturer anti-missile system will take its place in the defense of the airspace of Russia. S-500 is designed to engage targets at altitudes of up to 200 kilometers. With such a “ceiling” of the complex can shoot down approaching ballistic missiles at ranges of up to 640 kilometers. With these parameters, the unit of “Prometheus”, located in the vicinity of Moscow, will be able to provide security in almost the entire Central part of the country.
In addition, the developers claim that the system is able to simultaneously track and hit up to 10 targets flying at a speed of 7 km/sec., and the far system lesions include self-guided interceptor missiles, counterparts to the American THAAD.
To ensure highly precise interception of aerial targets, C-500, like all modern air defense system air defense Russia will apply extensive network of radars.
In addition to the far air defense s-500, a series of protective systems will join the s-350 “Vityaz”, which will replace the outdated s-300PS.
“Vityaz” will be a significant increase in the total complex air and missile defense of Russia together with the “Buk-M3”, s-400 and s-500.
In the s-350 includes machine control, two radars with electronic scanning of HEADLIGHTS and 8 launchers with 32 missiles. Thanks to the missiles with active radar head, like s-400, the complex is able to simultaneously track and hit 16 targets at a distance up to 120 km and an altitude of about 30 km.
In addition, modern anti-aircraft missile systems planned to combine in a single network. This allows you to create a dome of air defense, which cannot be overcome even such nachalnym aircraft stealth F-22 and F-35 and b-2.
