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

In 2014 up to 3 regimental sets are to be expected.

It is not enough. One regiment has only 8 launcher. S-400 are still without 40N6...

Was 8 at first, I believe now its 16 or more. Anyway launchers are not important. What is important are 92N2 radar systems that go one per battery and can guide its missiles to a 10

or so targeets. Launchers can latter be easily filled with 40N6 missiles.

This is something that might change even during this year.

probably new launchers with long range missiles will be added to existing divisions.

In Moscow area one battalion has 8 launcher near Elektrostal and another three have only 6 launcher. In Kalinigrad is 12 launcher S-400.

This is something that might change even during this year.

I hear it every year.

Radars are important - missiles can be added later.

Average number of launchers delivered per battery is 8 regarding S-400.

Yea, me to, but coming out of the mouth of Almaz-Antej representative means something.

I wonder how 40N6 is different from others its a mystery.

They were working on improved S-400 that was reveled in Almaz-Antey annual report

@ SOC , Mindstorm

Is it possible S-400 40N6 would use a Kill Vehical Concept like that of Arrow 3

Check the Arrow 3 video and brochure

Video https://youtu.be/8EV3sd5eUVE
Brochure http://www.iai.co.il/sip_storage/FILES/7/38867.pdf


Arrow 3 intercepts at altitude above 100 km and each Arrow 3 is half the weight of Arrow 2 and more faster  

What is the advantage of using Kill Vehical in Space compared to Warhead ?

Thats true, but during MAKS-2013, representative of Almaz-Antej said that S-400 delivered today can already be regarded as modernized in comparison with the S-400 of 2007 although

it is not. Real modenization will be follow by 2015.

Victor is posting the latest in S-400 story line regularly  

there is more of a rush to get new batteries into service than to extend the range of each battery for now.

To the point.

The standardization of S-400 is taking lot of time.The tracking , detection (stealth) ,algorithm, launch mechanism everything is new.
To produce regimental sets or battery level sets will take significant time from Industry which is not capable to produce this whole 'spectrum' of equipment (in numbers) in 1 year.

Besides I believe what willbe produced this year will be somewhat S-400-M upgraded class weapon not the S-400 of 2008-2009.

 Take every factor into account then we see time lines for getting new S-400 batteries into ADF will be stretched even more.
I think there for the equipment sets deployed by Aerospace forces will remain in the quantity of 2 regiment sets per year.

Which is ofcourse slow. No 2 words about that.

But they will never sell their most important defense system used to defend their land to foreign powers any time soon.
And probably never to India since they collaborate a lot with NATO and Israel and the risk of they learning too much
from their main defense is too high.

So far there is nothing official about that 185 km altitude number , its just a rumour ......official have been very secretive about 40N6 capability.

MOSCOW, October 7 (RIA Novosti) – A new regiment equipped with S-400 Triumf air defense missile systems will be put on combat duty to bolster the air defenses around the Russian capital by the end of 2013, the Defense Ministry said Monday.
“Russia’s Aerospace Defense Forces will deploy another S-400 regiment by the end of this year,” Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Dmitry Zenin said.
The new unit will join two S-400 regiments already based near Moscow.
Russia currently has a total of five S-400 regiments, with the remaining units deployed near the port city of Nakhodka in the far eastern Primorye Territory, and in the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad and in the Southern Military District.
The S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) air defense system is expected to form the cornerstone of Russia's theater air and missile defenses by 2020.
The system can engage targets at a maximum range of up to 400 km (250 miles) at an altitude of 40,000-50,000 meters (132,000-165,000 feet). The system uses a range of missiles, and is optimized for engaging ballistic and cruise missiles.
Russia plans to have 28 S-400 regiments by 2020, each comprising two or three battalions (four systems each), mainly in maritime and border areas.

Exercises at Ashuluk

- simultaneous live shooting at ballistic and cruise missile targets
- in difficult naise conditions 
- S-300 Favorite


SOUTH Russia: Ashuluk range two-way teaching is carried out with the compound ASD and aircraft County

Seems like Russia has finally given up on any Missile Defence talk or co-operation with NATO

Putin repeals orders on missile shield cooperation with NATO

Good. It was a pointless enedvour anyway. Just start implementing low/med/high altitude radar systems in other countries allied to Russia, sell them S-300 pmu and antey-2500, integrate it into CSTO network and watch western governments cry foul.

About S-400 and its microelectronics and very interesting. 

Any thing interesting in the video , like some one can put out the salient feature in English ?

nothing special just talk about physics behind it, creation and use of microchips.
s-400 is just mentioned as item that uses it as an example but nothig was shown.

Interview:

Vladimir Kozin: "The time of empty discussions on missile defense has expired"

For the record air and space defences has a budget of 3.4 Trillion rouble ( $105 billion ) as part of SAP 2020

http://eng.kremlin.ru/news/5615

I remind you that in accordance with the state arms procurement programme through to 2020, we will invest around 3.4 trillion roubles in developing our air and space defences. This is around 20 percent – around 17 percent to be more exact - of the total money earmarked for re-equipping the armed forces.

"MIC": When our armed forces will receive the first set of the latest generation of air defense missile systems S-500? How many army divisions of these systems can get to 2020?

- The long-term anti-aircraft missile system S-500 is under development, its adoption into service is planned until 2020.

The timing and amount of deliveries of S-500 to the troops planned in accordance with the decision of the President of the Russian Federation to ensure the completeness of species and genera of the Armed Forces with modern weapons, military and special equipment. They will maintain the necessary level of combat effectiveness and objectives for air defense, concentrating its efforts on critical strategic sites.

"MIC": About this system is known not so much. What are the performance characteristics it will have?

- Anti-aircraft missile system S-500 will be able to solve the problem of the destruction of short-range missiles, medium-range missiles, as well as targets in near space.

As a guide tell you that in the S-500 is supposed to apply the principle of separation tasks destroy ballistic and aerodynamic purposes. The main task - fighting combat equipment of medium-range ballistic missiles and, if necessary, and intercontinental ballistic missiles in the terminal phase. Anti-aircraft missile system will affect both hypersonic aircraft and cruise missiles at low altitudes.

C-500 will provide cover for some large cities, industrial facilities and priority strategic objectives. In its combat capabilities AAMS will be significantly greater standing now armed with S-400 "Triumph" and its foreign counterpart - the American THAAD.

By promising the S-500 system to meet a series of requirements. This extended range of speeds and facial features of the targeted objectives, improving immunity, expansion affected areas, unification, integration with other types of firepower and air defense missile systems. Also, it must have the maximum possible mobility, the ability to operate in all weather conditions and operate effectively in the use of funds to overcome air defense, missile defense.

Seems like S-500 System will be able to deal with all kind of targets from Low Altitude Cruise Missile , to Hypersonic Aircraft , SRBM/IRBM class of missile to ICBM targets in Terminal Phase

Seems like a one stop solution for all airborne threats ....sounds impressive

Taaaa Naaaa !!! Its here - long range missile of S-400 system. Initial bach of the 40N6 is in the making. 

"Almaz-Antey" completes the creation of long-range missiles for the S-400


and another confirmation which is always nice to hear (2 S-400 regiments (of modernized design as told earlier by Almaz-Antej official) will be delivered by the end of 2013)

The Russian military until the end of 2013 will receive two regiments of S-400
