Missiles for air defense systems S-500 can operate outside the atmosphere, making them the most murderous in its class among the domestic and international counterparts.
As the deputy on scientific and technological development of the general director - the first deputy general designer Sergei Druzin concern EKR "Almaz-Antey" for RIA Novosti, new installation - the pride of producers.
The new C-500 extended type purposes. The expert made it clear, that through this system can be used to counter ballistic objectives of any classification. In its turn, it required the designers to increase the energy potential of location means, as well as the creation of new, more powerful rockets, working outside the atmosphere. The thing is, that it is impossible to control the aerodynamic. Druzin called the C-500 a new generation of the system in all senses of the word.
Previously, all the elements of the S-500 tested at landfills. Defense considered it important to note, that the use of cords C-500, and "armor-CM" will allow the latter to effectively deal with UAVs, without spending a long-range missiles and vysokostoyaschih "Prometheus".
Important to remember, damage radius that C-500 is 600 kilometers. The system can easily detect and hit ten flying at a speed of seven kilometers per second supersonic missiles simultaneously. AAMS also capable of attacking warheads of hypersonic missiles, which makes it a modern guarantor of peace on Earth. The task of the engineers and creators, timely replacement of the A-135 and complement the existing S-400 system.
