The United States and NATO are upset over the export of Russian S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile systems. They even imposed economic sanctions against countries only for the purchase of air defense systems. Despite this, several states, including India, are showing interest in the S-400.
This is written by the publication The National Interest. The author reports that military exercises using the S-400 Triumph air defense system were held in the Russian Federation again. And he notes: the anti-aircraft missile system is designed to destroy aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles. The Triumph was put into operation in 2007 and it is one of the most popular combat systems in Russia.
The publication writes that the S-400 is much superior to its predecessor, the S-300. The Triumph is compatible with four types of missiles that are designed to perform a wide range of tasks. The range of missiles is up to 400 kilometers. Moreover, the SAM can work in conditions of intense fire and interference by the enemy. The S-400 is even on the defense of the defense of Moscow.
The S-400 air defense system is compared with the American Patriot system. The latter, unlike the Triumph, is equipped with a specialized ballistic missile interceptor. But Russia is already developing such an interceptor. And this is also very upsetting for the United States and NATO, the publication points out.
