So whats the max altitude the S-400 can be used to intercept ballistic missiles ?   The 400k range figure is in the normal airspace.. that offer significant resistance to missiles . In the space Orbit however there is no air.. resistance is less.. challenges still exist like extreme temperatures ,radiation ,special fuel and other things..

For 40N6, about 185 km.

For 48N6, about 60 km.

And what Russia have to intercept ballistic missiles higher than than 185km?  The SM-3 is rated as a exosphere ballistic interceptor
and you need a missile with at least a 640km altitude for playing at the layer in the atmosphere.

For higher tier ABMs, I think, Russians have A-135 gazelle and upcoming S-500.

Each system is capable of up to 400 kilometers to simultaneously fire up to 36 targets with guided them to 72 missiles

A report of "MMZ" Vanguard " in 2012 reported that the main profile and purpose of the enterprise is determined primarily by the release of serial modifications 48N6 products, whose share in the total production of 99.3%, the production capacity of the plant in conjunction with the ongoing reconstruction of the units provide an increase in output of products and 48N6 modifications up to a total of 600 units

Arrow wrote:Now S-400 is maximum range about 250 km and use still old 48N6 missile from S-300 system.

Arrow wrote: It's still very little, if Russia wants to have a strong air defense system in other regions than in Moscow.

TR1 wrote:So currently Russia operates 80 launchers, and by the end of the year we are expecting another 32 or possibly 48 launchers.

So to take a (absurd) average, 40+80 = 120 launchers alone, x4 tubes each = 480 tubes.

Just on S-400 alone, Russia has stronger AD than 99% of countries lol.

Not bad, not bad at all, numbers finally coming together.

"Martial calculations Connection defense, arrived at the landfill" Kapustin Yar "from the suburbs, in a complex interference environment conducted maneuvers with live firing of S-400" Triumph "and accurately hit more than 10 target missiles simulating ballistic missiles, and low-altitude tactical air conditioned purpose at all altitudes and speeds, "- said Zolotukhin.

According to him, to create an environment as close to combat, simulated combat environment options of various levels of difficulty. Now the new S-400 "Triumph" is loaded on railway platforms, after which they will be shipped to the point of permanent deployment - in one of the suburban air defense missile regiments Air and Missile Defense Command EKR.

Russian armed forces from 2014 onwards will receive two or three sets of regimental air defense missile systems S-400 a year. On this, as reported by RIA Novosti, said CEO of the cerebral system Design Bureau "Almaz-Antey" Vitaly Neskorodov. wrote:

MOSCOW, February 28 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s military will invest 2 trillion rubles ($55.3 billion) in building up its aerospace defense weapons over the next six years, defense officials said Friday.

Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said the goal is to spend the funds on developing the Aerospace Defense Forces, or VKO, by 2020 to make sure they were capable of combating existing and future types of air and space attacks.

The VKO, a military branch created in 2011, unites air and missile defense systems with early missile warning and space control mechanisms and is a top priority of the state armament program.

President Vladimir Putin, during a visit to an air defense systems plant in St. Petersburg in June, said 3.4 trillion rubles ($94.2 billion) would be allocated for development of the VKO by 2020.

A press spokesman said the two figures were related to the same 2020 rearmament push, but the reason for the discrepancy in figures was not immediately clear.

Austin wrote:Wonder why the two figures , Did they reduce the spending for VKO ?

Around 3500 people and more than a thousand pieces of equipment gathered in the Astrakhan region on the largest exercise of the defense of the Western Military District

Wonder why the two figures , Did they reduce the spending for VKO ?
