Experts discuss statements about the prospective superiority of the S-550 complex over the S-500

After the sensational statement by Vladimir Putin about the need to quickly adopt the latest air defense-missile defense systems, including the S-550, this anti-aircraft missile system has become one of the most discussed. And not only in Russia. The words about the S-550 were actually repeated by the Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, noting that developments were underway.

It becomes clear that we are definitely not talking about the president's reservation. And if the reservation did exist initially, it could well have been taken for a directive ...



Now some specifics appear in the media about this promising missile defense system. In particular, it is indicated that the S-550 is being created on the basis of the S-500 and will be designed to intercept ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles).

Such information is published by RIA News citing an unnamed industry source.

In particular, in the published material it is said that the S-550 will specialize in such areas as missile defense and anti-space defense (missile defense and anti-missile defense).

The source said that the capabilities of the S-550 in terms of intercepting ICBM warheads and space attack weapons "will be an order of magnitude higher than that of the S-400 and even the S-500."

The source also emphasizes that such capabilities will be much higher than the potential of American anti-missile systems (Aegis, THAAD).

RIA News, referring to another unnamed source, writes that the S-550 air defense system "is at an advanced stage of development."

In this regard, experts are discussing statements about "superiority by an order of magnitude of the S-500 complex in anti-missile and anti-space capabilities." It is assumed that the missiles (anti-missiles) of the developed S-550 can get the latest engines, which will expand the possibilities for combat use.

For example, we can talk about an increase in the speed and altitude parameters of the S-550 missile complex. Also, the complexes may include advanced computer systems for analyzing the flight trajectories of enemy missiles, which (systems) will allow them to cope with these missiles at "safe" sections of their flight trajectory. The possible use of new fuel options for the S-550 interceptor missiles is also being discussed. There are no official comments on this at the moment.

    Here they like to rush with words.
    By an order of magnitude, this is about every 10.
    Interestingly, the new missiles will fly 10 times higher / further?
    Or maybe the new complex will be able to detect, track and fire 10 times more targets?

      Or maybe the new complex will be able to detect, track and fire 10 times more targets?


      The S-550 is a mobile specialized missile defense (ABM) and anti-space defense system. Its capabilities to intercept ICBMs and MRBMs should significantly exceed the capabilities of previous mobile missile defense systems. Its capabilities to intercept warheads of ballistic missiles of various ranges, primarily intercontinental, as well as space attack weapons will be an order of magnitude higher than that of the S-400 and S-500, as well as the American missile defense systems - THAAD and Aegis.

      .MOSCOW, November 13 - RIA Novosti. The new S-550 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), developed on the basis of the S-500 Prometheus, will become the world's first mobile specialized missile defense (ABM) and anti-space defense system capable of effectively destroying intercontinental ballistic missiles, two sources told RIA Novosti -industrial complex.

      During a conference call on November 9, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that a new S-550 anti-aircraft missile system was being developed in Russia.


      At present, Russia and the United States have specialized missile defense systems capable of shooting down warheads of ICBMs with a high probability, but of a stationary type - anti-missiles are placed in mines.

      "The new mobile system is being developed as a version of the S-500 air defense system and will specialize in anti-missile and anti-space defense tasks. Its capabilities to intercept warheads of ballistic missiles of various ranges, primarily intercontinental ones, as well as space attack weapons will be an order of magnitude higher than that of the S- 400 and S-500, as well as American missile defense systems - THAAD and Aegis with SM-3Block llB missiles "- said one of the agency's interlocutors.
      Another source confirmed this information, adding that "the development of a new system is at an advanced stage."

          I don't know. But maybe it will be Sky-M as one of the guidance systems. But this is just an assumption.
          ... Complex composition:

          RLM-M - VHF radar on the BAZ-6909-015 chassis;

          RLM-D - UHF radar on the BAZ-6909-015 chassis;

          RLM-S - centimeter range radar on the BAZ-6909-015 chassis;

          KU RLK - control cabin of the radar complex with an integrated integrated secondary radar module (KVRL) on the BAZ-6909-015 chassis.

          The secondary radar provides operation in the modes of international and domestic secondary radar systems RBS / ATC, domestic and foreign identification systems.

          The Sky-M radar is distinguished by its high tactical and technical characteristics (in a circular view mode):

          • target detection range - 10-600 km;

          • target detection range with RCS 1 sq. m at an altitude of 30 thousand m in jamming conditions - 480 km;

          • range resolution - 500 m;

          • azimuth resolution - 4 degrees;

          • the number of simultaneously tracked target tracks - 200 aerodynamic targets;

          • rate of information delivery - 5/10 sec;

          • time of deployment (folding) of the complex assets - 15 minutes;

          • mean time between failures - 1000 hours.

          Control and communication cabin.


          The sector mode of operation is distinguished by an even higher pulse power of the APM of the radar modules, which made it possible to increase the instrumental range to 1800 km: at such a distance, "Sky-M" is capable of detecting launching operational-tactical ballistic missiles and medium-range ballistic missiles.

          The speed limit of detected and tracked targets has reached 5000 m / s. Target with RCS = 0,1 sq. m (warhead of a medium-range ballistic missile or operational-tactical ballistic missile) can be detected at a distance of 600-650 km, and with EPR = 0,01 sq. m - 300-350 km.

          The most important distinguishing feature of the Sky-M radar against the background of various standby radars is also the ability to detect transatmospheric targets at an altitude of 1200 km, which is 6 times higher than that of the Protivnik-G radar. There is an advanced radar concept with pronounced anti-missile qualities, capable of detecting, tracking and even capturing medium-range ballistic missiles outside the Earth's atmosphere.

          The Sky-M radar system holds the record for both multifunctionality and the parameters of early delivery of target designation information for long-range anti-aircraft missile systems of the S-300V4 and S-400 Triumph types.

          In 2008, a prototype of the integrated integrated secondary radar module (KVRL, ROC "Nebo-M") was fully manufactured.

          In 2008, with a positive result, the first stage of preliminary tests of a prototype of the 55Zh6M radar was completed as part of the meter RLM-M radar module and the control cabin of the KU RLK.

          State tests of the complex were completed in 2011 with a positive result. Serial deliveries of the 55Zh6M radar complex to the Russian Armed Forces began in 2017, the first to receive it were radio engineering units of the Western Military District.

            I read the text and the link.
            This set Sky + S-500 (S-550) is a good weapon against aircraft and tactical ballistic missiles.
            To defeat medium and long-range ballistic missiles, and even more so ICBMs, it is necessary to shoot down not over one's own territory, but over the enemy's territory, which this weapon does not provide.
            If not right, correct it.

      Read at least Wikipedia about the S-550. This is a reliable fact.


      The interlocutor recalled that in the 80s of the last century in the Secular Union, work was already underway to design a similar missile defense system called the S-550. Then the creators of the complex did not succeed in completing what they had begun.

      “At one time, the S-550 was created as a mobile missile defense installation. There is a high probability that this project was returned to today. Air defense systems are being promoted on a modern base. The concept is taken from the old, but the technologies that are used today are being introduced. Then, in the Soviet Union, they could not implement it - technology did not allow it. However, there is no detailed information about him, so we can only guess, ”said the interlocutor of the PE.

      Now there is an urgent need for mobile missile defense systems, which can be transferred from one area to another, to cover important industrial centers, military facilities, cities and civilian enterprises, the source said. Such a "shield" is necessary because the United States is likely to deploy both medium-range missiles located in Europe, South Korea, Japan and hypersonic weapons against Russia.

And upon completion of the main work, the team has an OFFER! That you can make the complex even better, with faster missiles, with better detection and control equipment. And so they appear - one after another. With a short time interval, and with improved parameters.
