- It is a complex of new generation which can act as a means of air attack, and on intercontinental ballistic missiles, and near space. It not only combines the best achievements of the previous systems, but also offers completely new possibilities in the field of air, missile and space defense - said Murakhovski.

Concern PVO "Almaz-Antei" is working on a set of S-500 "Prometheus"

. The terms of reference is the possibility of self-intercept medium-range ballistic missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles in the middle and final sections of the trajectory, destroying hypersonic cruise missiles and other air targets at a speed higher than 5 M spacecraft.

The basis of the detection system S-500 is a radar with active phased array antenna working in X-band, impervious to stealth technology. The planned target detection range of 850 kilometers, the destruction - 600 km.

Deputy Commander of the Russian Air Defense videoconferencing Lieutenant-General Sergei Razygraev said earlier that the S-500 can shoot down missiles in near space and thus becomes an element of strategic missile defense.

The long-range system is said to have a range of 600 kilometers (more than 370 miles). The system could simultaneously intercept up to ten ballistic missiles traveling at a speed of 5 kilometers per second.

The technical aim consists of creating self-intercept medium-range ballistic missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles with the possibility of changing trajectory midflight.

The new complex also aims at destroying hypersonic cruise missiles and other aerial targets at speeds of higher than Mach 5 and as well as spacecraft.

MOSCOW, April 15. / TASS /. Air-Space Forces of the Russian Federation in the near future, expect the appearance of the first samples of anti-aircraft missile systems (AAMS) S-500, said the head of air defense, zamglavkoma VKS Russia Viktor Gumennyy.

"We soon expect the first samples of S-500 anti-aircraft missile system", - he said on the air of "Russia 24" TV channel.

According to him, developmental work on the S-500 system to an end, in addition, are testing the C-350 system.

"Today is a type-tested S-350" Hero "defense successfully passed the first launches of the system and its performance confirmed it will massively to replace the S-300PS." - Said Gumennyy.

Earlier, Viktor Bondarev, who served as commander of the Air Force (now - the commander of aerospace forces), said that the C-500 can begin to enter the army already in 2016. According to him, they will be able to intercept the target at an altitude of 200 km. As expected, the first regiment of S-500 will cover Moscow and central Russia.

Modern weapons

Victor Gumennyy also said that the share of modern weapons in the Russian anti-aircraft missile troops and radio is 45%.

"Today and in the anti-aircraft missile troops and radio troops so the share of modern weapons is 45%", - said Gumennyy.

"At the moment the company is developing the next radio communication, the sixth generation to complete various types of military equipment, including anti-aircraft missile systems as already standing on the arms, and promising," - said "Gazeta.ru" representative of defense industry, noting that prospective S-500 - one of such complexes.

The interviewee explained, the previous generation radios worked on the pre-set frequencies, increasing the likelihood of tracking and interception of information transmitted, and looking systems such situations will not be possible.

According to him, communication equipment, which today supplies to the troops corporation (eg, radio stations for medium-range air defense missile systems "Buk-M2"), already has a high noise immunity, it includes modes "pseudo-random frequency hopping and working masked communication."

"The equipment will have a fundamentally new opportunities and significantly improve the quality, range, security and secrecy of communications. Creating a sixth-generation communication technology - is a matter of the next two years ", - said the representative of the UIC.

An expert in the field of air and missile defense systems (air and missile defense) Mikhail Khodarenok said "Gazeta.ru": the main requirements for facilities and communication systems of air defense systems - this secrecy and immunity.

"It is used several communication systems - radio, radio relay (type of ground radio communications based on multiple radio relay -." Times "), devices for transmission of voice data and telecode information (TKI).

The requirements for the transfer of voice and TKI - is primarily a stealth, noise immunity, so that the enemy does not hear - Khodarenok stressed - as funds are available in the mobile version and no wired links can not be used - only radio and microwave communications. Key two requirements: secrecy, to conceal the fact that people say it is transmitted, how the exchange of information takes place, and immunity to the connection worked with any conditions and enemy action (EW). No interference from the enemy in the range telecode transmission of information does not have to affect the performance of the system resources, because the command post in one place, division - in other launcher - in the third, and it is necessary to transmit the information. There are antennas that are put forward and allow communication ", - he explained the expert.

The system is designed to attack the aerodynamic targets at long range, hypersonic cruise missiles, low-orbit satellites, as well as to combat ballistic targets, including warheads of intercontinental missiles

New TEL for S-400 officially revealed in parade...

The features are many, but perhaps the main is that the C-300V4 is equipped with a new long-range missile , which is capable of solving the problem, including non-strategic missile defense. In particular, the greatly expanded range of defeats the purpose, which today has reached 400 km. That is, the aircraft airborne patrol and management, including AWACS, now can not enter with impunity in the 400-kilometer zone.

In addition, the reduced possibility of the probable opponent Management assault and fighter aircraft. The introduction of this kind of long-range missiles is also significantly alters the interference situation that can arise when the respective reflection strikes. The same ideology is embedded in "chetyrehsotke" and other systems, including the fifth generation.
