Russia to Equip S-400 with New Missiles

August 11, 2006 :: RIA-Novosti :: News

The Russian Air Force plans to equip its S-400 (SA-20 Triumf) surface-to-air missile systems with new interceptor missiles by the end of 2006, reports RIA-Novosti. In his announcement, Vladimir Mikhaylov, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Force, did not offer any information other than that “the missile is at the moment undergoing tests.” The S-400 is believed to have a range of up to 400 kilometers, giving it approximately 2.5 times the range of the S-300P and twice the range of the U.S. Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) system. Once operational, the S-400 will be able to target and destroy aircraft, cruise missiles, and short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. (Article)
