NI: with the adoption of the C-500, the sky over Russia will become almost invulnerable

If in the Russian Federation they tie together C-500 systems preparing for deliveries to the troops with other types of air defense systems, then Russian airspace will become completely invulnerable to enemy aircraft, writes The National Interest. Article leads RIA News.

“Some samples of these new systems are so perfect that many American commanders fear that even such invisible airplanes as the F-22, F-35 and B-2 will face problems in overcoming them,” the newspaper notes.

At the same time, “the US military is surprised by the fact that Russia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, was able not only to preserve the combat capabilities of air defense elements, but also to improve them,” the author points out.

“The new complex will occupy the upper tier of the echeloned unified air defense system of Russia, and will be able to fight against targets at altitudes of about 200 kilometers. This will allow the C-500 to hit the enemy’s approaching ballistic missiles at a distance of 640 kilometers ”,

Says the article.

In April, the commander of the Aerospace Defense Forces, Victor Gumenny, reported that "the Russian Space Forces will soon receive the first samples of the C-500 air defense system." According to him, the new "complex will be able to detect and simultaneously hit up to ten ballistic supersonic targets."

Yes. You can then spank directly on Washington and not take a steam bath

my hat now covers the white house. Hooray comrades!


Yakov Kedmi:

Any war against Russia will be on American territory

any gamble against Russia will result in a blow not to American satellites that have proliferated along the Russian borders, but to the United States itself and its facilities around the world. The States will no longer be able to hide behind a "shirmochka" from the "allies" - the Russians will beat the "headquarters"

Nobody needs war in Russia, but if we warned you ...

And what kind of liberals are minus such important news?

I would have their confidence.

Et yes. Wunderwaffe does not exist. Only a powerful complex can cover the Russian airspace. For which we have no money.

So far, only focal air defense. And there are big problems with her.

- And is it necessary? Cover, IMHO, you need the most important strategic goals. More precisely, if the structure of the retaliatory strike is preserved, then the Yankees will sit quietly and continue to generate small and not very dirty tricks.

Obviously, there will be no blow to the village of Gadyukino and the bayan factory (well, if only from impotent revenge).

The USA has long had such a component. And there are opportunities for intercepting targets at altitudes of about 200 km above sea level. This device is called Aegis combat system. Aegis - from the word Aegis.
This Aegis is capable of targeting other devices, for example, such as Standard missile 3 (SM-3 in the common people).

The Americans have had such a system for quite some time. And the Americans (with their multi-billion dollar infusions) have been training this system for a very long time. Although to train her so much that she learned to intercept all Russian ICBMs, they didn’t know all the secrets of such art.

Russia is a novice in this business. Russia has never had its Aegis before. With the advent of the S-500, Russia will have to go a long way to bring its Aegis to the American degree of readiness. To bring down more than a dozen blanks in space, aircraft and many other good things during tests, before saying - that, here, we have our own modern missile defense system.

I watched it here at VO, the people chuckled sarcastically when information appeared about the successful missile defense tests by the Americans. We remember that the Americans conducted tests and intercepted ICBMs in space more than once or twice. And we said - fools, all missiles still can not be brought down. Do you think that Russia will be able to bring down everything?
You are naive.

Aegis is a system developed in conjunction with an instant disarmament strike strategy. But the concept itself, of this blow, is untenable. It is proved more than once. Air defense and missile defense should be focal, otherwise it makes no sense. To cover a territory like ours, with the current level of technology, no one will succeed.

Of course, with current approaches it will be so! And there is justification - it cannot be otherwise! Only now, the current "focal" air defense system (we still have missile defense, with the exception of one conditionally covered object) is not until the Soviet air defense system of the 1991 model is like cancer before Paris! And there, the object-territorial principle of air defense was actually implemented with a continuous radar coverage of both the territory of the Union and neighboring countries and territories. If we implement exclusively the object principle, then in our airspace the enemy aircraft will undividedly dominate - between the covered objects there are always "gaps through which a breakthrough can be made. And there are a lot of objects that need to be covered, especially in the European part of Russia. if you want, you don't want to, but inevitably you will have to implement, in addition to the object principle of building air defense, also the territorial one.
So we have an example to be achieved - this is soda, but at a new technological level. If the S-75, S-125, S-200 air defense systems planned to be retired in this system were replaced by the more modern S-300 and S-400, then we would still have an air defense system that would provide reliable cover from an aerodynamic attack. And no F-22 and F-35 weather would have done: none are invisible, the modern radars that we are armed with can clearly see them.
And the S-500 has not yet been accepted into service, and has not even really been finalized. And, frankly, something is not believed that he will be able to successfully shoot down strategic warheads flying along a ballistic trajectory with hypersonic speed ...
