Russia is developing a new anti-missile system, S-500, which will be an advancement of its predecessor, the S-400 Triumf air defence missiles, a former Russian Air Force chief has said.
“The new anti-aircraft missile system S-500 will be a further development of the S-400,” Retired General Anatoly Kornukov was quoted as saying by Arms-Tass.
The new weapon system will have an extended range of about 600 kilometers and will engage up to 10 targets at the same time. It will have the capability to destroy hypersonic and ballistic missiles and other aircraft.
The S-400 Triumf has a range of 400 kilometers and can take on up to six targets at a time.
The S-500 anti-missile system is being developed to outperform the S-400 Triumf and US’ Patriot Patriot Advanced Capability-3 system.
Russia intends to establish a dedicated air and space defence network which will include the S-400 and the S-500 missiles.
While the Russian armed forces have deployed two regiments of the S-400 systems, the S-500 is expected to roll out in 2012.

The development of the S-500 Triumfator-M missile system, capable of performing both anti-aircraft and missile defense functions, is expected to be completed in four years, said Igor Ashurbeili, the general director of the Head System Design Bureau of the Almaz-Antey concern.
“The task set to us under the state armaments program is to develop the Triumfator-M system. It refers to the S-500 project, the project to create a mobile missile defense system by 2015. This new system will be capable of tackling its tasks on the move and advance to any direction that comes under threat, and to any war theater critical at this particular moment,” Ashurbeili said in an interview with the daily Kommersant, published on Friday.
The S-500 is a mobile missile defense system capable of hitting targets at a long range and high altitude. It must have the characteristics of the Moscow missile defense system, but with a mobile capability, Ashurbeili said.

Russia's new generation S-500 air defense system will resolve the country's missile defense problems when it enters service, Air Force Commander Colonel General Alexander Zelin said on Tuesday.
"The S-500 air defense system is a system that will solve Russia's missile defense problems," Zelin said.
Answering a question about the S-500's technical specifications, Zelin said: "I would not compare the S-500 with the U.S. missile defense since they have different technical characteristics".
The S-500 is expected to have an extended range of up to 600 km (over 370 miles) and simultaneously engage up to 10 targets. The system will be capable of destroying hypersonic and ballistic targets.
He also added that two S-400 long-range missile defense systems would be delivered to the Far East by the end of 2010.
"We are planning to put two S-400s on combat duty at the Vostok strategic command," Zelin said.

Russia’s Almaz-Antey concern will build two plants to manufacture formidable S-500 air defense systems, Chief of the General Staff Gen. Nikolai Makarov said.
“We gave Almaz-Antey two years to build two plants, which will manufacture new S-500 air defense missile systems in the future,” Makarov said on Thursday.
The S-500, a long-range air defense missile system, is expected to become the backbone of a unified aerospace defense system being formed in Russia.
The system, being developed by Almaz-Antey, will have an extended range of up to 600 km (over 370 miles) and simultaneously engage up to 10 targets.
The Russian military has demanded that the system must be capable of intercepting ballistic missiles and hypersonic cruise missiles and plans to order at least ten S-500 battalions for the future Russian Aerospace Defense.
The first deliveries of S-500 are officially expected in 2015, but some Russian experts believe they are more likely to start in 2017, at the earliest.

The S-500 is a new generation surface-to-air missile system, said to have an extended range of up to 600 km (over 370 miles) and simultaneously engage up to 10 targets.
The system is designed for intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles and for defense against Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems and jamming aircraft.
The Russian military plans to order at least ten S-500 battalions for the future Russian Aerospace Defense, with the first deliveries of S-500 officially expected in 2015.
However some Russian experts believe they are more likely to start in 2017, at the earliest.

Russia waiting for S-500 air defense system

Further research in the field of next generation anti-missile and anti-aircraft systems resulted in the new S-400 system, an invention that allowed to resume the development of the unified S-500 complex on a new conceptual level. The batch production of the S-400 was officially launched in 2006, with the first battalion entering the Russian service as early as next year. However, their production rate has turned out to be lower than expected.
|
The S-500, a new generation surface-to-air missile system, is to enter the Russian Air Defense arsenal in 2015. At present, the Russian Air Forces are outfitted with the S-400 and S-300V4 complexes, which see their production rates gradually increasing. Still, the older generation of these missile defense systems is here to stay.
The planned date of the S-500's introduction into service was announced last week by Major General Viktor Gumennoi, Head of the Russian Air Defense Forces. Under the 2011-2020 State Armament Program, the Russian Air Forces will be supplied with ten S-500 battalions over the first five years of the system's batch production. The S-500 surface-to-air complex can engage cruise, ballistic and medium-range missiles, as well as planes, drones and space targets.
The development of the unified S-500U system for the Russian Air Defense and army air defense units was launched in the 1960s by the Russian military and the First Design Bureau with the Soviet Ministry of Radio Industry, the main research unit of the Almaz-Antei company. The initial S-500U was supposed to engage predominantly enemy aircraft.
At the end of the 1960s, however, the military changed their heart in favour of a unified S-300 family, which included the S-300V, its army version, designed to engage ballistic missiles as well as the anti-cruise missile and anti-aircraft S-300P which was designed for the Soviet Air Forces.
The latter served as the basis for the naval S-300F missile. Still, their unification failed. The radar stations of the S-300V and S-300P shared only 50% of common design, whereas other crucial systems were completely different.
The collapse of the Soviet Union stalled many prospective projects, while the surface-to-air system research lived on. Towed S-300PT launchers were scrapped by the end of the 1990s; self-propelled S-300PSs, deployed in the mid-1980s, were revamped and re-emerged as S-200PMs.
Meanwhile, another version of the system, known as the S-300PMU, gained world recognition and became a clear favourite. The anti-missile S-300V remained in the background, while the versions that had already entered into the service were modernized.
Further research in the field of next generation anti-missile and anti-aircraft systems resulted in the new S-400 system, an invention that allowed to resume the development of the unified S-500 complex on a new conceptual level. The batch production of the S-400 was officially launched in 2006, with the first battalion entering the Russian service as early as next year.
However, their production rate has turned out to be lower than expected.
Today, a lot of hopes are pinned on the new plants that are to be built in Kirov and in Nizhny Novgorod, where the first lines are set to be started in 2015. The Kirov factory will be building anti-aircraft missiles, while the Nizhny Novgorod facility will produce launchers, radar stations, and command posts.
At this rate, by 2016, the Russian defence industry will reach the production capacity of five to six battalions a year. This will lead to the Russian Air Forces falling short of sixteen to twenty S-400 battalions out of the expected fifty six.
Considering that the S-500 program is still running behind schedule, it will probably be tested only in 2015, with its batch production kicking off after 2017.
As a result, the Russian military can actually fall short of some twenty five battalions out of the sixty six S-400/500 artillery batteries slated to enter its service by 2020. Although the S-300V4 deliveries will be running their course, they will replace the obsolete S-300V versions and therefore won't improve the situation around the outdated S-300P series.
Thus, it's becoming increasingly important to revamp the deployed S-300PM systems or even their earlier variants. The air force "workhorses" can even be given a second life by using the modern components and upgraded missiles, which will allow Russia to compensate for the shortage of new air defense systems while the S-400/500 production is gaining steam.
Today, the Russian military has eighty to hundred S-300PM and S-300 PS battalions at its disposal. To prevent its air defense field from shrinking, it will have to keep at least fifty S-300 batteries in its ranks by 2020.

Russia's Armed Forces could receive the first of its next-generation S-500 air defense missile systems as early as in 2013, Air Force commander Maj.Gen. Viktor Bondarev said on Wednesday.
"I think that as soon as next year we will get the first of these (S-500) systems in service," Bondarev said at a RIA Novosti press conference dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Russian Air Force.

S-400 Triumf air missile defense system
The commander stressed that Russia's air defenses are in very good shape with new regiments of a formidable S-400 Triumf air defense system entering service every year.
The crews of air defense systems regularly carry out training drills to improve their efficiency.
“We have improved the response time to airborne threats to 3-4 seconds compared to the previous 9-10 seconds.
Russia currently has four S-400 regiments - two in the Moscow region, one in the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad, and one in the Eastern Military District.
By 2020, Russia is to have 28 S-400 regiments, each comprised of two battalions, mainly in maritime and border areas.
The S-400 Triumf long- to medium-range surface-to-air missile system can effectively engage any aerial target, including aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise and ballistic missiles at up to 400 kilometers and an altitude of up to 30 kilometers.

After the events of the "Arab spring", especially after the destruction of Libya, the demand in the world of Russian air defense system has become such that Russia can not meet it at the moment, because there is insufficient capacity for both the domestic and overseas orders
Therefore, the famous Russian state defense concern "Almaz Antej" began to build two new factories - the first defense factories will be built in the post-Soviet time, which will produce resources for aerospace defense
By Vadim Sokolov
CURRENTLY in Russia the question of development of the armed forces and defense-industry complex (OPK) is the most important issue for the possible provision of the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of the country, in other words - to secure its future.
Armies, fleets and defense-industrial complex of Russia are essential as air, and it's not an exaggeration. Especially now, when the world centers of power "growing appetite", as stated V.V.Putin president of our country, "to solve their problems through other people's backs, strong pressure.
It is no coincidence that today in different parts of the voices that, like, almost a "fair" to ask whether the national sovereignty of a country should apply to the resources of global importance. As for Russia - it should not be even a hypothetical possibility. And that means we do not need anyone to challenge the temptation to believe that we are weak. That's why we - whatever the conditions, whatever they are, we will not reject the potential of strategic restraint, but it will strengthen "(Putin).
For Russia, the task of strengthening national arms acquires a priority, especially in modern conditions, when the United States formed its global anti-missile defense which is one part of Europe, and "wrap" the regions of Africa, the Near and Middle East to cover the raw material resources and undermined the position of China and Europe, which remain without Middle Eastern oil, and regional wars dangerously approaching the borders of Russia.
Speed development of adverse politico-military situation so far is obviously going faster than the speed of modernization of Russian armed forces. Soon, that note of Russian military experts in Russia performs during the spring, during the ordeal. The temptation to Russia if it wants to preserve its independence, must endure.
The character of potential threats to the Russian leadership assessed as follows: "It is unlikely that the global war against each other to lead the state to possess nuclear weapons. For now, "Gunpowder" strategic nuclear forces, which our fathers created a huge thanks to our own work, remains "dry", no person may commence aggression against our major scale. However, it must be sure that the scientific and technical progress in various fields ranging from forms of weaponry and military equipment to the information and communication technologies, leading to a change of character of the armed struggle for quality. Thus, as the mass begins to use weapons of very precise neatomskih funds with a large radius of action, all the more clearly shows the tendency that the other party all the preferred weapon used for the decisive victory of the opponents, including the global war (aside VS) "3
Attachment 839
The current orders relating to the national defense of the extent of funding can not be compared with the cost of the USSR and the Cold War. However, it is not a militarization of the Russian budget.
In fact, says Russian President, to the "smoothing account" for when the army and fleet were chronically under-funded with the funds, are not practical when the supply of new types of weapons ...
In fact, home centers and enterprises for national defense in the last 30 years, missed several cycles of modernization. In the next decade, we must fully compensate for this lag.
The next decade will be the military, says the Russian president, get over 400 modern intercontinental ballistic missiles based on land and sea, 8 missile submarine USS strategic purposes, about 20 multipurpose submarines, over 50 warships, about 100 cosmic apparatus military purposes, over 600 modern aircraft, including a fifth-generation fighters, helicopters by 1000, 28 sets of zenith rocket systems S-400 intended for regimentation, 38 divisional sets zenith-missile complex "Vityaz", 10 sets of Brigadier missile complex "Iskander-M", over 2300 modern tanks , about 2000 self-propelled artillery and weapons complexes, and over 17 thousand units of military automotive technology.
By 2020 the participation of new models of weapons in the Russian army should be at least 70%. As for systems that remain in the application, they will undergo a profound modernization. Given that all the wars of the last NATO carried out military-air forces, the greatest importance is attached to the development and improvement of military air power and protivvazdušnoj defense of the country.
To stop the little zenith-missile complex (RK) which is also scheduled to become part of Russia's air protection - S-500, which is already called "liquidator missile defense" because its purpose is to disable any missile defense system.
The fact that the system produced similar S-500 Certificate is a breakthrough in the development of Russian missile defense.
After the destruction of the Soviet defense complex of the country one of the most severe consequences of termination has become the technological chain.
In order to restore the production of ballistic and winged missiles in Russia "from scratch" formed the production of materials and the necessary related parts, which nadoknađivana previous production plants that were found on the territory of newly independent republics, which made it possible to start production of engines for rockets.
The fact that in Russia, Putin's team resumed the production of engines for missiles is of utmost importance in the reconstruction of the defense forces of the country.
Thanks to the solution of the main task of Russia is now equipped with a variety of weapons systems unsurpassed in the field of defense. Thus, for S-400 there is no analogue in the world. After the events of the "Arab spring", especially after the destruction of Libya, the demand in the world of Russian air defense system has become, as characterized by Russian Deputy Prime Minister D. Rogozin - "unprecedented": "... we can not defend against the request for the purchase of our system of anti-missile defense, diverse, and short and long range" ... - he said.
Attachment 840
-The demand is so great that Russia can not meet it at the moment, because there is insufficient capacity for both the domestic and overseas orders.
That is why the famous Russian state defense concern "Almaz Antej" began the construction of the basis of two new factories. The first defense factories will be built in the country in the post-Soviet time, which will produce resources for aerospace defense.
New plants should be in addition to 46 companies and research institutions that concern the whole country. Cost of construction companies, other than corporations, shall be borne by the state. Now preparing to build factories Kirovskoj area, another company should be made in the territory of the complex Nižegorodskog factories producing machinery.
What is unique in the complex S-500, if he himself should become a base for the Russian Anti-Aircraft and missile defense?
S-500 represents the fifth generation of missile systems, a means for the aerospace defense - to destroy targets in close space.
Significantly, it is produced at a time when, in fact, opponents still do not exist in nature. This is because "helper" for S-400, the protection that is 20 years ahead.
Most importantly, we are planning to use the system in that the principle of separation of solving tasks of destroying medium-range ballistic missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The task of the complex S-500 inputs and hiperzvučnog destruction weapons, aircraft and various unmanned spacecraft. Thus, this complex will enable to cover up the priority strategic goals, industrial buildings, cities and whole regions.
First Regiment latest zenith-missile system S-500 will appear in the Russian army the following year.
All in all, the general manager of Scientific-Production Association "Almaz" Igor Ašurbejli, says: "The S-500 is designed for the destruction of those classes of weapons to attack from the air, which currently produce the largest country in the world. The production is designed so that at the time of appearance of new types of complexes for destruction, we must be ready system that will meet the challenges of the time. "
Thus the spread of division S-500 will not only improve our country protected from potential threats, but will also demonstrate the willingness of Russia to themselves and their allies against the attack from the air, which is especially relevant in light of events in the Middle East. Renovation and development of military potential of Russia is certainly the hardest possible task. However, at the above stage, the production of a new system of protection of air space of Russia, an opponent leaves no chances. And to talk about the possibilities and the country's ability to address strategic issues of securing their independence and sovereignty.

RUSSIA working on it as soon as you create your own real-time system and protiraketne protivkosmičke defense!
At sea! And with the ambition to be a worthy competitor to shield EvroPRO Americans and NATO made in Europe.
The project was entrusted to the world famous military concern "Almaz-Antej", which already produces missile systems S-400 "Triumph" and "Consolidated brodogradilišnoj corporation" (OBK).
There are indications that the "Almaz-Antej" tasked to 2017. The Russian army made available zenith-missile complex S-500 "Prometheus" and that should be a competitor EvroPRO.
One of the leaders OBK, Anatoly helmets said the S-500 will be a "structural component of Russia's strategic arsenal." Well discovered: that his 2016 corporations begin to build six "eskadronih destroyer with new elements and protivoraketne protivokosmičke defense."
From everything we could conclude that the part of the S-500 found in the future, "Squadron destroyers."
Head OBK, Roman Trotsenko earlier said it would be mentioned destroyers "Russian space base defense on the world's oceans."
There are also signs that some of its naval Russia missile systems to equip a "space defense" - ie. defense against attacks from okolozemaljskih orbit. Some databases will be floating and stationed in international waters, announced Russia's global Telekanal Russia Today.
Otherwise, the S-500 is expected to successfully target shooting in low orbits, even if they move up to 7 miles per second.
The main competitor of the system S-500 is a U.S. Aegis Combat System, which are the basis of missiles SM-3 (Standard Missile 3).
