The new S-550 anti-aircraft missile system will surpass the missile defense systems of the United States and Israel in one leap, its capabilities will be an order of magnitude higher. This opinion is given in the material of the Chinese portal Sohu.

Together with the data on the upcoming rearmament of the Russian army with the S-500 Prometheus, the development of the S-550 complex was announced, which will become the world's first mobile missile and space defense system. And this is far from its only advantage.

The S-550, according to available data, will be able to intercept various ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere, including intercontinental. Its targets will also be other space weapons, for example, the American orbital fighter X-37B. That is, its anti-missile characteristics are significantly higher than those of the S-400, S-500 and the American Aegis missile defense system equipped with SM-3block llB missiles.

- Currently existing missile defense systems are stationary. the maximum range of the S-500 air defense system can reach 600 kilometers, and the maximum firing height is 200 kilometers. And if the S-550 really reaches the same indicators, then Russia's backlog in the field of missile defense will probably be eliminated with one jerk," InoSMI quotes an excerpt from the material.

The author draws an analogy between the S-550 and the S-350, which is based on the S-300 system, but has a higher level of automation and firepower. Using several types of missiles, the complex is capable of destroying targets at short, medium and high range. That is, the S-350 SAM can conduct independent combat operations without the support of a short-range system.

- During the creation of the S-350, Russian developers began to use the world's most advanced electronic technologies in their projects. Russia was able to meet its strategic needs by accumulating significant experience in microelectronics," the publication says.
