Speaking to Russian news outlet Krasnaya Zvezda last week, Major General Babakov elaborated that the S-500 was developed for the purpose of shooting down medium-range ballistic missiles. He also claimed that this anti-aircraft and anti-missile system has been developed as a completely new generation weapon. If required, this system can destroy Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) in the final stages of their flight path. Not only this, the S-500 is capable of destroying hypersonic aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Babakov said that the S-500 air defense system is capable of destroying all types of hypersonic weapons, even air targets in low space. This makes it possible to say with confidence that this missile system is unique, he said.

Russia has $50 billion in long-term contracts

The Russian Deputy Prime Minister said, ‘I do not agree with the findings in this context because they have not included many things that I know. Secondly, our data shows that there are long-term contracts worth $50 billion, whereas our export figure is $13 to 15 billion every year. Our major buyers have entered into long term agreements. He said that Russia makes many important weapons in terms of air security.

Earlier, Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), said that once the Russian armed forces have sufficient availability of this state-of-the-art air defense system, it can be exported to other countries. The S-500 missile system is the world’s most advanced and powerful anti-air defense system. It can not only detect stealth targets, but is also capable of shooting down satellites in space. India is buying S-400, the last generation weapon of this missile system, from Russia.

The world’s most advanced system

The S-500 missile system is manufactured by the Russian weapons company Almaz-Antey Corporation. It is the same company that produced the S-300 and S-400 before it. This system, considered the world’s most advanced, will soon be deployed in the Russian army. Russia claims that even the stealth fighter planes of enemies will not be able to escape from the state-of-the-art radar of this system. The S-500 Defense System is also called Prometey.
