MOSCOW, Nov 1 - RIA Novosti. The Russian army will soon receive the latest S-500 missile system, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the leadership of the Defense Ministry and representatives of the defense industry.

"In the coming years, more than 200 aircraft and 26 S-350 and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems will be additionally delivered to the troops, as well as the first serial sample of the newest S-500 missile system," he said.

The Head of State recalled that over the past four years, the Armed Forces have replenished 25 S-400 complexes and over 70 modern fighters, and more than 20 S-300 complexes and 90 aircraft have been modernized.

As a result, the effectiveness of covering the most important military and industrial infrastructure has significantly increased, Putin stressed.

According to him, the updated air defense system should detect hypersonic and ballistic missiles of all types and be able to destroy them on the entire flight path.

The President noted that some foreign countries do not abandon attempts to break strategic parity.

"Including by deploying elements of global missile defense in the immediate vicinity of our borders. We cannot ignore these threats to Russia's security and will respond appropriately to the situation," he concluded.

The S-500 Prometheus belongs to a new generation of ground-to-air air defense systems. It is a universal long-range and high-altitude interception complex with an increased missile defense potential and is capable of hitting ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as aerodynamic targets (airplanes, helicopters, etc.).

The radius of destruction of the S-500 is about 600 kilometers. The system can detect and simultaneously hit up to ten ballistic supersonic targets flying at speeds of up to seven kilometers per second, including blocks of hypersonic missiles. According to its characteristics, the S-500 should be significantly superior to the S-400 in service and its American competitor Patriot Advanced Capability 3.
