How did the United States finance Yefremov's efforts to develop the Antei-2500 system? That is a good question.
Why does this read like Pravda to me?

This whole article reads like classic Russian bombast and self-promotion. Typically, you can disregard almost any claims made in such a piece, because they're almost certainly false.
Something this writer leaves out is that the Russian tech is untested in combat, whereas the PAC-3 is the end result of development lessons learned in combat since 1991.

While this article is a bit over the top, Russian science and engineering has always been top notch. The weak link for them was the manufacturing infrastructure. There are some brilliant designers and engineers, who had to do alot, with so little, during the Cold War.
