Russian air defense forces will be equipped with the new air defense missile system S-350E Vityaz the Russian Missile Forces’ commander said in a radio interview Monday, July 6, 2015. General Babakov said that crews operating the new missile system were now being trained at military academies, retraining centers and test ranges. The new Russian-made S-350E Vityaz was presented for the first time to the public during the MAKS, Moscow Air Show in 2013.
     
More lightweight and maneuverable compared to the S-400, the S-350E will replace the S-300PS system and will use a smaller, self-homing missile that “flies higher, lower and farther.”

As to the latest Pantsir-S combined short to medium range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery system, it will be upgraded for use in the Arctic, General Babakov added.

The S-350E Vityaz 50R6 is a new mobile ground-to-air defense system designed, developed and manufactured in Russia by the Russian Defense Company Almaz-Antey. Development of a Vityaz began in the early 1990s with a series of successful system firings against various target types.

The S-350E Vityaz was unveiled for the first time to the public at the MAKS 2013 Airshow held in Moscow in August 2013.

The missile for the S-350E Vityaz 50R6 is the 9M96 which was originally designed for the S-400 system. This missile is intended for self-defence at a range of up to 15 km and features passive IR homing guidance. The 9M96 is a dual-role anti-missile and anti-aircraft missile. The smaller 9M100 missile can be also used against aircraft, UAVs and cruise missiles. The 9M100 is a short-range, IR-guided missile that has been mentioned as both a SAM and an AAM.

A typical S-350E Vityaz 50R6 battery includes a shelter-mounted fire-control system with integral radar that carries out target surveillance and tracking functions, three missile container-launcher platforms and a missile resupply vehicle. All three components are mounted on the same forward control (6 × 6) cross-country truck chassis. The basic missile load per battery is 48 weapons.
