“The S-400 is ... a complex that is designed to destroy all modern and even promising targets of an aerospace attack that exist today,” he said.
As noted by Fomin, the S-400, which has no analogues in the whole world, was created for the long term.
According to him, this complex is capable of destroying any possible targets, flying at a speed of up to 4,800 m / s.
“That is, such goals have not yet been created, they are goals of a perspective, medium or distant. This complex can hit all aerodynamic targets: airplanes and all other aircraft, built on the aerodynamic configuration. Ballistic missiles, their separable warheads, cruise missiles ... The complex is unique, ”he added.
Among the main advantages of the system, the Deputy Minister of Defense called reliability, tactical and technical characteristics and combat effectiveness.
The deputy head of the Ministry of Defense gave an interview to RT on the eve of the VIII Moscow Conference on International Security (MCIS-2019), which will be held April 23-25.
Earlier, Business Insider wrote that various states want to get the C-400, because they are technically "far superior" to the US air defense system.
