S-400 Moscow Deployment Postponed

June 12, 2007 :: RIA-Novosti :: News

The S-400 air and missile defense systems (SA-21 Growler) slated to be installed by July 1 will be postponed until later this summer, Colonel-General Alexander Zelin of Russia's Air Force said Tuesday in Moscow.  The S-400 Triumf is an upgrade of the S-300 class (NATO codename SA-10 Grumble), and is capable of destroying stealth aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Eventually all of the S-300 complexes will be replaced with the newer model. 

 

The first S-400s were to be deployed in Electrostal-town of Moscow Region on July 1, 2007. The intention is to annually have one or two new regiments equipped with S-400s so that the latter would soon replace S-300 systems in all air defense units protecting Moscow and central Russia. (Article)
