The air defense systems manufactured by Almaz-Antey Concern are the most reliable in the world and the most demanded weapons on the world market. This was announced on Wednesday, January 5, by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with the general designer of Almaz-Antey Pavel Sozinov, according to a statement on the Kremlin's website.


"This is a universally recognized fact," the head of state said.

He also discussed with the interlocutor the concern's civilian products, noting that the company has not only been actively consolidating all opportunities in this area for 20 years, but has also increased them many times.

"To date, those technologies that have mainly been developed over the past 10-15 years for military products have also turned out to be in demand for civilian products, and we continue to develop not only assembly plants, but also technological solutions," Sozinov replied.

According to him, out of 140 thousand employees of the concern's enterprises, about 30% are engaged in the production of civilian products. Enterprises produce products in the field of air traffic control, create weather radars, work in the field of medical equipment.

On December 22, the developer of the S-300, S-400 and S-500 anti-aircraft systems published photos of an electric vehicle of its own design. The working name of the electric car is E-NEVA. The car is a crossover with a length of 4500 mm. The mileage on a single charge will be 463 km, the maximum speed is 197 km/h. The electric car will be able to accelerate to 60 km/h in 2.7 seconds.

On November 2, Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, said that India, China and a number of other Russian partners could become the first buyers of the new-generation S-500 anti-aircraft missile system. In addition, he said that about ten countries are showing "very keen interest" in the purchase of the S-400 air defense system.

In the same month, the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, said that the main differences between the S-550 anti-aircraft missile system and previous models of such systems are "the range of the missile with the ability to intercept any targets" and a longer detection range.


The S-500 Prometheus (ROC Triumfator-M) is a long-range and high-altitude interception complex with a high missile defense potential capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. The system strikes not only ballistic, but also aerodynamic targets and cruise missiles within a radius of about 600 km.
