BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:00 P.M.) – The Chinese newspaper, Soho, revealed a Russian weapon capable of repelling any American air attack on Russia.
According to the newspaper, Russia’s possession of the S-500 air defense system will lead to serious consequences for the United States, should the latter send strategic bombers to launch an attack on Russia.
The Chinese newspaper described the Russian weapon S-500 as the “real treasure” of the Russian army, noting that Moscow is able to help it build the strongest air defense system on the planet, due to the system’s ability to track and intercept all existing air targets and repel any American air attack, in the event of a dispute.
The newspaper added that the S-500 is the most mysterious system, due to the lack of information about it and its unknown characteristics.
It is noteworthy that the S-500 “Prometheus” air defense missile system belongs to a new generation of air defense (“surface-to-air” missile systems). It is a missile system with a large launch range and has the ability to intercept targets at high altitudes in addition to its increased ability to carry out tasks related to anti-missile defense and intercept ballistic missiles.
This promising system is capable of destroying not only ballistic targets, but also aerodynamic targets (aircraft, helicopters, and other air targets), as well as winged missiles.
According to previous reports, the radius of the S-500 system is about 600 km. In addition, this system will be able to simultaneously discover and destroy up to ten hypersonic ballistic targets flying at speeds of up to 7 kilometers per second, as well as being able to destroy the destructive warheads of hypersonic missiles.
In terms of its properties, the S-500 missile system will significantly outperform the S-400 air defense missile system and its advanced American rival, Patriot.
I have one of those too!
Who wants to attack Russia? I mean, aside from the entire democrat party were all but declaring war against them.
This rods form god thing I keep seeing here is thoroughly unfeasible at this time.
Do the math on the wight up getting such a thing into orbit, secondly do that math on the need mass of a platform to launch the rods accurately if the existed.
Maybe someday, not now.
Only good at shooting down Malaysian Air or Korean Air flights
Not to worry. Rocky and Bullwinkle will foil their evil plot.
But can it TARGET a stealth aircraft?
Yeah but we have the Alhpa-Omega.
Is that the Tactical Women’s Assault Team ?
S-500 meet MIRV!
If I were a Russian I’d hope this version of the AA missile system works better than the S-400 system which failed to protect some very important targets in Syria.
"We're Licking Him!"
LOL! This is only interesting in the fact that the Chinks are doing the RusKie’s disinfo op! Why would they do that....Hmmm...?
Amen!
This is all just misinformation designed to distract from their real weapon....the Ed 209
Luckily, our scientists created the USA-600, which is capable of neutralizing a 500 by over 100 points in video simulators.
The most deaths (likely) ever produced by Soviet/Russian Air Defense happened subsequent to 28 May 1987. However those deaths came from within the Air Defense establishment when a West German amateur pilot, Mathias Rust (18), landed a Cessna 172P near Red Square, having flown from Helsinki, Finland to Moscow, USSR. He WAS detected multiple times, but as a single, obviously light aircraft blip, the missile defenses never got a ‘fire’ order!
It is speculated that the ‘egg-on-face’ resulting from this stunt enabled Mikhail Gorbachev to remove several key military opponents to his liberalization efforts (perestroika). Rust was arrested, tried and sentenced to 4 years in labor camps. However, within a year, Gorbachev and Reagan signed the Medium-Range Nuclear Missile Treaty and Rust was released after 14 months of jail.
Systems are only good as the personnel and training that controls them. No one will tolerate a system that fires automatically and thus there are always ways to spoof and penetrate while the opponent is paralyzed by doubt!
Libya
Propaganda unlimited.
Seeing as how Turkey recently defeated one of the Russians air defense systems in the Middle East using drones, talking up Russian weapons must be the CCP directive of the week.
