S-300/400/500 News [Russian Strategic Air Defense] #1

Pk of any missile can never be 1 it will always be 99.9999 etc basically as many 9's after the decimal.

So if Pk of 9M96 is 70 % against BM it is quite decent though not impressive , you would have to fire 4-5 missile at a target to ensure 99.xxx percentage of hit probability.

Can some one tell me which is the fastest missile ,PAC-3 ,S-300PMU1 or S-300PMU2 ?

BTW here is a video of Indian BMD test , the missile seen is AAD and has a top speed of Mach 4.5

Report on the 'Nebo-M' radar (in Russian) which mentions that the state tests were completed in October 2011. The first unit is scheduled to be inducted by the end of the year. 100 units are planned by 2020.



Has impressive range:

According to the data of the developer (JSC "FSPC" NIIRT ") the detection range of aerodynamic and ballistic objects by 55ZH6M complex is 1,800 km, height - 1200 km.

SOC wrote: The S-300V initially had more ATBM capability, being conceived in part to be able to deal with Pershing, but any advantage it had largely went away with the S-300PM.

n 2014 Russia should recieve first 77N6-N and 77N6-N1 ABM. It says they can be used with S-500 and S-400 T

SOC wrote:
2. No...the BIG BIRD E in the S-400 has about double the range of the BIG BIRD D in the S-300PM, and greater track processing capability. The S-300V does hold one minor advantage over the S-300P/400 series, the HIGH SCREEN sector search radar specifically for ATBM engagement. Separate and dedicated components can be beneficial, provided they offer something the other systems do not, even if it's just an upgraded capablity. In this case HIGH SCREEN offered greater ATBM search and track range compared to BIG BIRD A through D. Plus, newer kit will always have the latest ECCM odds and ends.

I suspect that the plan to deploy a 5th S 400 regiment will have to wait for sometime as a lot more emphasis is being put to launch the two major plants producing hypersonic missiles, 77N6-N and 77N6-N1, for S-400 Triumph and S-500 Prometheus. The 77N6-N and 77N6-N1 models with their inert warheads can destroy nuclear warheads by force of impact (a collision at a speed of 7km/s).

And if this is the case it makes sense because as on this date the addition of a 5th S 400 regiment would have been good but is not actually required .

No. S-400 production must not stop.

Viktor wrote:77N6-N and 77N6-N1 are S-500 missiles most probably multistage missiles based on 9M82/9M83 of S-300V system.

Sujoy wrote:I am not advocating a stop in production . Merely stating that deployment of the 5th S 400 regiment may not happen in the very near future.

Viktor wrote:I think 77N6-N and 77N6-N1 are S-500 missiles only and S-400 is still awaiting 9M96M/M2 and 40N6

which are developed for it.

By 2014, large factories in Kirov and Nizhniy Novgorod are supposed to manufacture hypersonic 77N6-N and 77N6-N1 missiles for the S-400 and S-500

And discussion about the S-500 is questionable, it’s possible it doesn’t even exist in drawings

Sujoy wrote:The 77N6-N and 77N6-N1 are currently being developed for the S 400 and at a later stage maybe for the S 500 .

The new long-range missile for the S-400 has been tested


The new long-range missile for air defense missile systems S-400 has been tested in a short time it will go to the troops, SAID on Thursday, RIA Novosti Chief of Staff of the Air Defense Command and Missile Defense Forces Aerospace Defense Minister, Major-General Andrei Demin.

"Long-range missile for the S-400 is tested and will soon go to the army," - he said.

Demin said that the construction of a new kind of army air defense comic (ASD) continues "the process is long," this system will be improved after the final formation.

S-400 "Triumph" - a system of long-and medium-range new generation. It is designed to destroy all current and future air and space attack - reconnaissance aircraft, aircraft of strategic and tactical operations, tactical and medium range ballistic missiles, hypersonic aircraft targets and radar surveillance and control aircraft.

If you look at it you will realize that as on this date or for that matter till the end of this decasde there is absolutely no need for a S 500 , which basically will be a S 400 with longer range missiles . So it makes sense to develop better missiles for the existing S 400 system

MOSCOW, August 11 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will create a new generation of air and space defenses to counter any strikes against its territory by 2020 due to a potential foreign threat, the Air Force commander said on Tuesday.
"By 2030...foreign countries, particularly the United States, will be able to deliver coordinated high-precision strikes from air and space against any target on the whole territory of Russia," Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin said, referring to the potential for new hypersonic and space-based offensive weapons.
"That is why the main goal of the development of the Russian Air Force until 2020 is to create a new branch of the Armed Forces, which would form the core of the country's air and space defenses to provide a reliable deterrent during peacetime, and repel any military aggression with the use of conventional and nuclear arsenals in a time of war," the general said.
According to Zelin, all Russian Air Force units will be constantly combat-ready by 2020.
"We are planning to conduct a gradual transition of Air Force units to a constant combat-ready status...and accomplish this task by 2020," the commander said.

During this period, the Air Force will bring combat units to full strength, equip them with modernized and new weaponry, and significantly improve combat training of military pilots.
Zelin said under the new concept, air-space defense brigades will be created within Russia's Air Force, and they will be equipped with advanced S-400 and planned S-500 air defense systems.
"In line with the new air-space defense concept, we have already formed a number of brigades, which will be armed with S-400 and S-500 air defense systems," Zelin said at a news conference in Moscow.
The S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) is designed to intercept and destroy airborne targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles), twice the range of the U.S. MIM-104 Patriot, and 2 1/2 times that of Russia's S-300PMU-2.
The system is also believed to be able to destroy stealth aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, and is effective at ranges up to 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) and speeds up to 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) per second.
Russia's Defense Ministry considers the delivery of S-400 air defense missile systems to the Russian Armed Forces a priority, and wants the defense industry to increase the production of these systems despite the current economic crisis.
The fifth-generation S-500 air defense system, which is currently in the blueprint stage and is expected to be rolled out by 2012, would outperform the S-400 as well as the U.S. Patriot Advanced Capability-3 system.
"The S-500 system is being developed under a unique design...and will be capable of destroying hypersonic and ballistic targets," the general said.
Meanwhile, the Soviet-era MiG-31 Foxhound supersonic interceptor aircraft will most likely be used as part of the new air-space defense network, as was intended when it was designed.
"We are upgrading this system to be able to accomplish the same [air-space defense] tasks," Zelin said.
According to some sources, Russia has over 280 MiG-31 aircraft in active service and about 100 aircraft in reserve.

Russian Military District Tests New Air Defense Systems


MOSCOW, December 22 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s Southern Military District has moved a step closer to adopting the new S-400 Triumf air defense systems, the district’s press service confirmed on Saturday.
Further successful target-shooting trials of the new air defense systems brings the district closer to the point at which the S-400 Triumf systems will be put on combat duty, replacing the S-300 PM systems, the district's press service confirmed on Saturday.
The Southern Military District was created in October 2010. It comprises the republics of Adygea, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Kalmykia, Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia, Chechnya, and the Krasnodar, Stavropol, Astrakhan, Volgograd and Rostov regions.
The S-400 Triumph 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 a distance of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles) and an altitude of up to 30 kilometers (18.6 miles).
Russia already has four S-400 regiments protecting national airspace around Moscow, in the Far East and in the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad.
By 2020, Russia plans to have 28 S-400 regiments, each comprised of two battalions, mainly positioned in maritime and border areas.
