The S-500 air defense system will be able to track and
destroy ballistic missiles with ranges of up to 3,500
kilometers.
"The S-500 is currently in development. By 2014,
it should enter into serial production," aerospace
defense strategic commander Lt. Gen. Valery Ivanov said.
"This system will be able to defend territories
at heights of up to 50 kilometers," he added.
Russia's aerospace defense troops currently use S-300
and S-400 systems.
New S-400 air defense missiles will be deployed at Dmitrov
just outside Moscow in March, Ivanov said.
