S-500 Will Be Capable of Destroying Hypersonic Weapons in Space

[PJL]

"The S-500 Prometey ("Prometheus") is a cutting-edge surface-to-air defence missile system with a range of 400-600 kilometers (250-370 miles). Head engineer Pavel Sozinov announced earlier that it would be able to intercept targets hundred kilometres above the surface of the Earth.

The S-500 Prometey ("Prometheus") defence system will be capable of destroying hypersonic weapons in near-Earth space, according to a statement by Sergei Surovikin, commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
According to Surovikin, the S-500's technical features make the system a first generation space-defence network.

"The characteristics implemented in the S-500 air defence system make it possible for it to destroy, in addition to aerodynamic and ballistic targets, hypersonic weapons of all modifications, including in near space", he said.

Surovikin touted the defence system as currently having no analogue in the world.........https://sputniknews.com/military/202...ce-forces-say/

It needs to be emphasized that the S-500 (and S-400 , S-300) are not attack weapons . They are designed , manufactured and deployed for one purpose only - DEFENSE ........think about it.

This is GREAT, maybe Russia will finally stop $#@!ing about the NATO missile defense shield.

You know the one that Obama got caught on tape telling them he would take down after he was re elected

but was forced to apologize to NATO members for attempting to sell them out to Putin
