Rusia empezará a entregar los S-500 “antes de lo programado”

July 22, 2019 - Rusia está lista para desplegar su más moderna generación de sistemas de defensa aérea, S-500 “Prometheus”, diseñados para interceptar misiles balísticos intercontinentales y capaz de enfrentar aviones y misiles crucero.

Russia may start S-500 deliveries to troops ahead of schedule after successful trials, according to Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov. Defence minister Sergei Shoigu earlier said that the deliveries would begin in 2020.

The new system is expected to have a range of up to 600km and will be able to detect and simultaneously hit up to 10 ballistic targets flying at speeds of up to 7km per second, according to Virginia-based think tank GlobalSecurity.org.

The S-500 Prometey (Prometheus), also known as 55R6M Triumfator-M, is intended to integrate with existing S-300, S-350 and S-400 systems to form a single air defence command network.
