Reportedly,
the main novelty from Almaz-Antey will be a promising anti-missile medium-range
system S-350E, also known as Vityaz. According to the stated performance
characteristics, it is superior to foreign counterparts and should replace
a number of S-300
technological systems of obsolete Soviet-made modifications, as well as
Buk anti-aircraft missile systems, partially. In June of this year, the
system was demonstrated to Russian President Vladimir Putin during his
visit to the Obukhov factory in St. Petersburg. In
addition, the S-350E
has high mobility and survivability. It takes only five minutes to bring
the system on alert. |
