Russia has in its arsenal an anti-aircraft missile that has no analogues in the world, the country also produces more ammunition for air defense (air defense) than all NATO countries. An American magazine writes about this Military Watch Magazine.
We are talking about the 40N6 missile, which the S-400 systems use to facilitate guidance at a range of up to 400 km. The missile’s unique trajectory, rising to extreme altitudes in near space before descending towards its target, gives it unprecedented over-the-horizon strike capabilities, allowing it to neutralize targets close to range limits as low as 5 meters above the ground. This allows S-400 units to engage low-based aircraft and cruise missiles at long ranges, something no foreign air defense system can do due to Earth’s curvature limitations on surface-to-air munitions following conventional trajectories, the magazine writes.
The report also stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin and other officials said that the country produces more surface-to-air missiles than all other countries combined, and “Although this remains unclear due to the unknown scale of Chinese and North Korean production, it is clear that Russia exceeds the total production of all NATO countries.” “We think he has a comfortable leadership in his capacity.”
The magazine emphasizes that such capabilities allow the Russian Federation to supply S-400 systems to Belarus and India, as well as increase its own forces and replace missiles spent during the operation in Ukraine.
According to MWM, this scale of production is largely due to St. This was achieved by the construction of three major new plants, including a new wing of the Obukhov plant in St. Petersburg, a completely modernized Avitek plant in Kirov and the NMP plant in Nizhny Novgorod.
October in Russia reported on the adaptability of air defense systems to ATACMS.
Previously commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine statedThat the Russian Federation has an advantage in the use of FPV drones.
