Russia began serial production of missiles for the S-500 Prometey complex

August 11 2021

The Ministry of Defense is preparing to put the S-500 Prometheus anti-aircraft missile systems on alert, the Russian military industry has begun mass production of missiles for the latest air defense systems.

There are data on the serial production of missiles for the S-500 anti-aircraft complex. The production is carried out by the enterprises belonging to Almaz-Antey, in accordance with the contract concluded at the end of 2020 between the Ministry of Defense and the concern. The delivery of missiles to the troops will begin next year, 2022.

According to a source in the military-industrial complex referred to TASS, Almaz-Antey is manufacturing serial missiles for the S-500 air defense missile systems, not a pilot batch.

Earlier it was reported about the conclusion of a contract for the supply of more than ten S-500 anti-aircraft missile systems to the troops, a more accurate figure was not announced. According to the available data, the agreement was signed within the framework of the last international aerospace show MAKS-2021.

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. ...

To date, tests of the newest anti-aircraft complex continue, they should be completed by the end of this year. 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.

  -Viktor Petrovich: Finally!
  In fact, an anti-space defense complex
  Once the titan Prometheus protected people from the wrath of the gods.
  Today the complex will protect people from those who think they are gods.

Well, it would be like this more often,
without bravura reports,
loud speeches of all "involved",
without - in a year, two or literally the day after tomorrow,
And as before - they began mass production, six months later, briefly on the third page of the newspaper - they took up combat duty.

  Are you hoping to burn in the light version? It seems that your name is not Andrey, but inspired by:
  Apostle Andrew fished from the pier
  And the savior walked on water
  And Andrew got out of the water minnows,
  And the savior is the lost people.
  And Andrey shouted: "I will leave the pier, If you tell me a secret"
  And the savior answered: "Calm down, Andrey, there is no secret here."
  You see, there is a cross on the mountain,
  A dozen soldiers under it, hang on it,
  And when you get bored - come back,
  Walk on water, walk on water, walk on water with me.
  But, teacher, the horns shine on the helmets, the black raven is circling over the cross,
  Explain to me now, take pity on d / urak, And leave the crucifix for later.
  The savior went numb and stamped in hearts On the water surface with his foot:
  "You really d / urak" and Andrey, in tears, wandered home with the minnows.
  NAU.

I read about the C500 now.
It turns out that the start of deliveries was promised back by 2015.
Then to the 17th.
In 2019 there are reports on the readiness for serial production.
In 2020, it was already reported about the start of mass production ...
What is it about now?
A belated repetition of last year's news, or has the timeline shifted?

  Well, the element base was cut off after 2014, hence the transfers.
  Or do you think that we used to have military electronics 100% of Russian production? ))))

  Here it is also necessary to take into account the "competence" of the journalist: They are talking about pre-series production or an initial batch, and they are trumpeting about serial production with yelling "banzai"! , which led to a lag behind the schedule, but in general, the time frame for creating a system of such complexity is not that long .... It's just that there are too many fans to "run ahead of the locomotive" .....

  What was promised earlier was, I do not argue. But in 2014, the sanctions cut off the email. the element base, changed for a long time, the detection radar also underwent changes, it became AFAR on a new at that time (2015-16 year of gallium arsenide) instead of gallium nitride PPM. And this also shifted the timing of the adoption of the complex for service.

I'm looking at the maximum performance characteristics. target destruction altitude at maximum echelons declared 100 km. Didn't our developers think about this miracle, about throwing mini reconnaissance satellites into low orbit? At least, it would be a very good help for targeting ground targets, well, that's so thinking aloud. At least for detecting AUG, it would be an ideal solution.

  Russia / USSR may not have produced the entire line of motors for civil cars (from 1 liter to marine diesel engines), but the line of rocket engines is probably the most diverse in the whole world, from the smallest to the largest, there is already plenty to choose from. .)))

The manufacturing process of some models of missiles for the S-300 was in the region of 2 years, and here it is even more difficult. As I understand it, the serial launch should have begun at least last year.

  On June 25, 2019, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov told Interfax that the S-500 Prometey was ready for serial production.
  On June 30, 2019, the general director of Rostec, Sergei Chemezov, announced that the production of the S-500 Prometheus anti-missile and air defense systems had begun.
  On September 17, 2020, Chemezov, in an interview for the media, said that the serial production of the promising Prometheus anti-aircraft missile system is scheduled for the second half of 2020.

I want to add that the S-500 complex is not only integrated into the air defense-missile defense system, but the same detection and illumination radars from it are easily integrated into the previous S-400 complex, which also increases the capabilities of the S-400, and this is already unification and modernization of four hundred.
