Moscow. 25th of April. Interfax-AVN - Almaz-Antey is mass-producing a new generation of S-500 air defense systems, Yan Novikov, director general of the concern, said.
“Currently, serial production of the S-500 system has been organized using the latest achievements of domestic science and technology. The combat capabilities of this system significantly exceed the capabilities of previously created air defense systems and air defense systems. The S-500 is capable of becoming the basis of the Russian aerospace defense (aerospace defense) system. It will enter the troops within the time frame determined by the state defense order," Novikov said in an interview with the National Defense magazine.
The S-500 Prometheus system, developed by the Almaz-Antey concern, is a new generation of long-range air defense systems that can shoot down targets in near space.
On July 20 last year, at the MAKS-2021 air show, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov announced that serial deliveries of the S-500 to the Russian military would begin in 2022. On the same day, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced the successful firing of the S-500 and for the first time published footage of the tests of this system. The Ministry of Defense then announced that after the completion of the full cycle of tests, the equipment plans provide for the delivery of the first S-500 system to the air defense-missile defense association near Moscow.
Earlier, Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces Sergei Surovikin said that the S-500 will be able to destroy satellites and hypersonic weapons of all modifications in near space.
