16 missiles from 4 launching tubes? How? It is just interesting to me.

That is the smaller missiles... four missiles to each large tube.

There were large and small smaller missiles called 9M96 and 9M96D or something, with the smaller missiles with a range of about 60km and the larger missiles with a range of about 120km... the basis of the S-350 system really.

One S-300 missile system is estimated by experts to cost some $115 million, plus $1 million or so per missile.)

Launch range missiles 40N6 - 460 km at an altitude of 185 km. wrote:

^^ Found that in a comment section , Would be amazing if true

"When you work at the Kapustin Yar restrictions on firing range substantial and account for about 100 km. At the same time in the future be possible to move to a site in Kazakhstan, where appropriate platform used to test anti-aircraft missile systems, large and medium-range missiles and missile defense in the 70 . -80-ies of the last century, the second part of the test with real interceptions can be organized just there, "- said Sozinov in an interview published in the magazine " National defense " .

The designer said that the S-500, which will replace the C-400, is created with the ability to operate in the next 25 years. "Our system must be able to deal with the funds that are currently not yet available, but it may appear," - Sozinov said, noting that it comes to intercepting targets at a height of hundreds of kilometers from the earth's surface.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, reported that work on the construction of the complex is planned, and the Deputy Commander of the Russian VKS Lieutenant-General Viktor Gumennyy said the C-500 entered service in Aerospace power in the near future. Head of the Military Academy of Aerospace Defense them. Zhukov, Lieutenant-General Vladimir Lyaporov also noted that the Russian Armed Forces has already begun training to work on the S-500 complexes.

S-400 "Triumph" - anti-aircraft missile system of long-range, put into service in 2007. It is designed to destroy aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, including medium-range, can be used against ground targets. April 8, 2017 zamglavkoma VKS Russia Viktor Gumennyy said that the armed missiles began to arrive for the C-400 can destroy targets in near space.

Sozinov also said that the test system S-350 "Hero" will be completed this year.

"Work on the state system of testing will be completed this year, now there are the preliminary test fired", - he said.

According Sozinova, locating tools and controls are tested in the proper amount, no fundamental objections to him there.

"During the remaining time to complete the test is necessary to collect statistics on fighting launches interception of real targets in different conditions, maneuvering and so on", - said general designer.

Designer General also reported that marine complex "Poliment-Redoute" get missiles uniftsirovannye C-350.

"As part of the R & D (research and development work - approx Tass.)" Poliment-Redoute P "creates three types of missiles to equip the respective vessels: small, medium and transition range", - he said in an interview published in the magazine "National Defense ". "Missiles SAM" Poliment-Redoute "unified with S-350" Hero ", - added the general designer.

All the rockets of the new generation are created with active homing with inertial control systems and have very good maneuvering characteristics for the defeat of the entire spectrum of attacking objects, said Sozinov.

"The Poliment-Redut-R R&D work is focused on developing small-, medium-and intermediate-range missiles for arming the relevant ships," he said in an interview published in Natsionalnaya Oborona (National Defense) magazine.

"Poliment-Redut surface-to-air missiles have been unified with the S-350 Vityaz air defense system," the chief designer said.

All new-generation missiles are being developed with active homing heads and the inertial guidance system and feature very high maneuverable characteristics for hitting the entire range of attack means, Sozinov said.

This year, Almaz-Antey defense contractor will celebrate the 15th anniversary of its establishment.

Russian next-generation S-500 surface-to-air missile system would be able to engage targets above the earth’s surface.

The new S-500 missile system would be able to engage targets in the upper layer of the atmosphere, 100 kilometers [62 miles] above the Earth’s surface, Pavel Sozinov, chief engineer of the Russian defense corporation Almaz-Antey, was quoted as saying by Sputnik Tuesday.

S-500 is said to have a range of 600 kilometers (more than 370 miles) and can simultaneously intercept up to ten ballistic and hypersonic missiles coming at speeds upto 7 km per second.

"The S-500 will be capable of hitting targets at an altitude of up to 100 kilometers above the ground, which is actually the height of near space. The system's final tests will take place at one of the largest firing ranges in Kazakhstan, given that the S-500's effective damage range stands at 600 kilometers. There is no other such surface-to-air missile system in the world that has the same damage radius," Russian military expert Viktor Baranets was quoted as saying by Sputnik.

According to him, among other things the S-500 system is also designed to destroy combat blocks of hypersonic missiles.

He noted that in terms of its characteristics, the S-500 will significantly exceed Russia's S-400 missile system and its American competitor, the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) missile system.

The S-500 anti-aircraft missile system can test fire at real targets in Kazakhstan, Designer General of Almaz-Antey air and space defense concern Pavel Sozinov said in an interview with the National Defense magazine.

"The Kapustin Yar range has major firing distance limitations of close to a hundred kilometers. There is a possibility to move to the range in Kazakhstan which in the '70-80s of the last century was used to test fire small and medium-range missiles and for air defense. The second stage of tests with real interceptions can be held there," he said.

Sozinov said S-500 will replace S-400 and can be operational for 25 years. "The system has to know how to fight the means that do not exist at present but can appear," he said and explained it has to intercept targets at altitudes of hundreds of kilometers from the Earth surface.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin earlier said the work to create the new complex was ongoing as scheduled. Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces Lieutenant-General Viktor Gumenny said S-500 will become operational in the near future. Head of the Zhukov Aerospace Defense Military Academy Vladimir Lyaporov said the Russian armed forces already began training servicemen to operate S-500.

Arrow wrote:They are different systems. S-500 is exoatmosferic ABM system S-400 is general anti-aircraft system.



Only 100km? Very strange. THAAD can engage target about 150 km. SM-3 more then 200km altitude.

S-400 in Russia doesn' t use 9M96 missile. This missile will by in S-350 system.




So what is the different ?
