Russian air defense systems S-500 "Prometheus" turn Western missiles and aircraft into useless weapons. These are the most advanced air defense systems in the world capable of preventing any attacks in the air..
This opinion is expressed by the British newspaper Rai Al Youm., which is published in Arabic.
The article notes, that S-500s can intercept any missiles and aircraft in NATO service, including the so-called stealth.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov announced yesterday that the completion of state tests and the receipt of the Prometheus complexes by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. According to the British press, this news from Moscow caused bewilderment and concern in the West, because it was expected, that these air defense systems will enter the troops no earlier than 2024 of the year.
According to the journalists of Rai al-Yaum, after, how a sufficient number of new air defense systems will be deployed in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Russia may no longer fear any threats from the air, since Western weapons are powerless in front of such reliable protection.
known, that the S-500 Prometheus air defense systems will be used to protect the airspace of Moscow, other major cities, as well as objects, of strategic importance.
The complex is capable of intercepting even hypersonic ballistic missiles at a distance of up to 600 kilometers and altitude to 40 thousand meters – on the humblest of assumptions. It can hit up to a dozen targets at the same time. earlier it was reported, that the air defense system is capable of intercepting targets even in near space, therefore, in the West, the S-500 is often called an anti-satellite weapon.
In the same time, and in Russia, and there are enough experts in the West, who urge not to attribute fantastic properties to the latest air defense system. However, with the fact, that today the S-500 has no foreign competitors, few argue.
