"We will create such weapon systems that can not only protect against the first strike ... We managed to create a real, effective missile defense system consisting of high-efficiency interception means, such systems as: Thor, Buk, S- 400 It will now come into service with the C-500, which is capable of intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles. All together, these systems will be able to prevent a disarming strike and, of course, detract from such a plan, ”explained Podberezkin.

Earlier, Victor Poznikhir said that the United States had developed the concept of "pre-takeover interception" and are going to destroy intercontinental ballistic missiles from other countries while they are in launchers.
