The Ministry of Defense is considering the issue of deploying a new anti-aircraft system S-500

The Russian Defense Ministry is working on the issue of deploying the latest S-500 Prometheus anti-aircraft missile system. Reportedly "News" with reference to the military department, two options for the deployment of the new anti-aircraft system are being considered.

According to the newspaper, the Ministry of Defense is considering two options for deploying the S-500 air defense system. According to the first option, it is proposed not to re-equip already formed anti-aircraft units with a new air defense system, but to create new regiments and brigades, which will receive the S-500. The deployment of new anti-aircraft units will depend on the prevailing situation.



The second option provides for the rearmament of existing parts with a new air defense system without creating new ones. Currently, the final decision has not yet been made, the newspaper emphasizes.

As previously reported in the Ministry of Defense, the new S-500 air defense system will not replace the existing anti-aircraft systems and complexes, but will only supplement them, occupying a niche between the S-400 Triumph air defense systems and the stationary A-135. At the same time, the S-500 will become the basis for a unified national air and missile defense (air defense-missile defense) system being created in Russia. The complex can be easily integrated into a single system with air defense systems of previous generations and other models of Russian production.

According to available information, the minimum set of equipment for the S-500 "Prometheus" will consist of a combat command post with an automatic control system (ACS), a radar complex, a multifunctional "illumination" radar and up to 12 anti-aircraft missile launchers based on Russian or Belarusian-made tractors. ...

The state armament program provides for the deployment of the S-500 air defense system on combat duty from 2025, but it is possible that the system will go to the troops much earlier.

                    You are still living with the slogans of the past. Right now, there are already a lot of employees of foreign companies receiving salaries from overseas, who miss French cheeses after a business trip to the head office in Switzerland. You also try to sell them your cheese, which you supposedly feed everyone, or lure them to rest on some kind of tour base of those who have not seen a thorough renovation since the days of your slogans.

          We need to create new shelves. The threats from the West are growing, shields and swords must be forged. While India is eager to buy the S-400, China is drooling by reading articles about the S-500.
          Zhirinovsky's statement about the S-700 does not at all look utterly stupid, but looks like a foresight: while the S-500 is being finalized, the S-600 is already forming the technical specification for the performance characteristics, and the S-700 is being conceived. We must be proactive. The arms race has not yet been canceled.

            Of course, using Zhirinovsky as a scarecrow is a good idea, but sometimes he is just carried like Ostap, and he passes off wishful thinking. Hypothetically, of course, you can ask R&D to develop a new complex that will replace the S-500, but in the military plane and not in the technical one, because we do not yet know what problems will be revealed without military operation, and what will need to be eliminated in the future.
            And only after we understand what the S-500 complex is and at least partially equip the troops with this system, then we can seriously think about what we need in the future to set a new development. Otherwise, our rogue industrialists will always hold a carrot in front of the military so that they invest as much money as possible in development, and we need serial equipment to learn from it and work out combat missions for a future war.
            As they say, everything should have a functional meaning, otherwise we will simply waste budget money on unfinished weapons systems, and this happened in Soviet times.

          Then the most key industrial areas with nuclear power plants. There will not be many of them anyway, so it is better to form really new regiments, because these are mainly missile defense, not air defense.

        The antidote is known - a preemptive strike against enemy targets that pose a threat. But this requires a serious military-political will. And the air defense system is only the last line of defense. With the flight time of the American RIAC in Europe of 15 -20 minutes, the human factor in the air defense automatic control system will have to be completely eliminated, everything should be transferred to the automatic machine. I think even the President will receive a report only after the fact.

          There were cases both in our country and in the United States, it is naturally known more about the United States, when the NORAD operator set up a training program, the radars "recorded" the approach of Soviet bombers to the US borders. The fighters were raised to intercept them, the entire air defense was brought to the b / g and the command was given to prepare for the launch of the ballistic missile. We managed to figure it out and there was a phone call to the "friend".

            The United States is far from being a criterion for evaluation and conclusions. Moreover, the well-known fact that Moscow's missile defense system has been functioning in a fully automatic mode for decades. At the same time, false alarms and launches of anti-missile missiles have never been recorded.

            The American Pershing-2 rocket reached Moscow in 6 minutes. Perhaps during this time the inhabitants of the Kremlin can be evacuated, but it is impossible to hope for more. The range of the missile allowed it to cover a significant part of the European territory of the USSR, including all of Ukraine and Belarus, as well as a significant part of the European territory of the RSFSR. The accuracy of the rocket for that time was the highest - the circular probable deviation was no more than 30 meters, which for a nuclear warhead is actually equal to a direct hit on the target.
