What is the protection of Russia from the possible appearance of attack complexes threatening it near the Russian borders, military expert Yuri Knutov told Sputnik radio.

Russia can already respond to the possible appearance of attack complexes threatening Moscow in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

"If there are any shock complexes on the territory of Ukraine, the flight time to Moscow will be seven to ten, and in the case of placing hypersonic weapons – five minutes. (...) And what should we do? Then we will have to create something similar in relation to those who threaten us so. Can you imagine? And we can do it now ... I hope it won't come to that," Putin said during a speech at the investment forum "Russia is calling!".

On the air of Sputnik radio, military expert, director of the Museum of Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov noted that thanks to modern anti-aircraft missile systems, the territory of Russia is reliably protected.

"Firstly, in order to intercept hypersonic missiles, we already have anti-aircraft missile systems S-400, S-300V4 and now a new S-500 complex is coming into service. Secondly– we have the means that are able to strike directly at the positions from which the enemy's missiles were launched," Yuri Knutov said.

The expert clarified that such means include both missiles of various bases and fighter aircraft armed with air-to-ground missiles.

Therefore, the military expert concluded, any country should think about whether it is worth placing strike complexes threatening Russia on its territory.

The S-300V4 air defense system is a highly mobile long-range air defense system. It is designed to cover important objects from attacks by ballistic and aerodynamic (aircraft, helicopters and other) means of air attack.

The S-400 Triumph is a new generation long- and medium-range anti-aircraft missile system. It is designed to defeat strategic and tactical aircraft, ballistic missiles, hypersonic targets and other means of air attack in the conditions of electronic and other types of counteraction.

The S-500 Prometheus can destroy ballistic and aerodynamic targets, as well as cruise missiles. The system can simultaneously hit up to ten supersonic targets at a speed of up to seven kilometers per second, as well as shoot down hypersonic missile warheads.
