Reference News Network reported on November 11 that according to the website of Russia's "news" on November 5, the Russian Ministry of defense has tested new equipment for intercepting medium-range and short-range missiles. The military recently tested the improved missile adapted to the s-300v4 air defense system in the exercise at the kapskanyar shooting range.
Experts pointed out that after the expiration of the "China missile defense treaty", the air defense work of important targets has become particularly urgent. The change of situation may be unfavorable to Russia, because the United States and NATO countries have obtained the possibility of legally deploying relevant missile systems near the Russian border.
Several sources from the Russian Ministry of defense told the news that the specially modified missile adapted to the s-300v4 system is used to intercept incoming medium and short-range missiles and hypersonic warheads at a long distance, which can ensure the destruction of ballistic targets equipped with aerodynamic devices, such as high mobility warheads installed on missiles. This warhead can change its flight orbit when approaching the target, making it very difficult to intercept it.
The source also pointed out that the emergence of this improved missile has also promoted the military to slightly transform the s-300v4 system. They said that the military believed that the missile test was a success: the modified s-300v4 system operated normally during the exercise, and the missile hit all targets.
In the past, NATO has deployed land-based medium - and short-range missiles in Western Europe. At that time, the Soviet defense positions were located in the territory of Warsaw Treaty Organization Member States. Lieutenant general aitech bizev, former deputy commander in chief of the air force in charge of the CIS joint air defense system, told the news that now this missile system may even appear in Baltic coastal countries or Ukraine.
"The most unpleasant thing is that the approach time of the missile has been reduced... The time left for decision-making and interception is now only a few minutes," birev said
Birev concluded that the s-300v4 system is used to intercept such attacks. They are very effective against missiles in the descending phase.
The s-300v4 air defense missile system was installed in the air defense forces of the Russian army in 2014. It is a fully digital improved model of the S-300 system, which is used to protect troops and important targets from various air attacks. The system consists of command vehicles, radars for various purposes, missile launching vehicles, missile launching and loading vehicles and various types of air defense missiles.
It is reported that the s-300v4 can intercept 24 aerodynamic targets at the same time, including stealth flight and ballistic missiles with a flight speed of no more than 4500 meters per second. The system has a range of 400 km and an altitude of 35 km to air targets.
S-300v4 has experienced the baptism of actual combat. In October 2016, the Russian army deployed an s-300v4 Missile Battalion in Syria to protect hemamim air force base and Tartus naval material and technical support point.
It is reported that s-300v4 has repeatedly found and automatically tracked the strategic reconnaissance aircraft and bombers of the US Air Force during operational missions. The strong interference by the other side did not affect the work of the Russian air defense missile launch team.
