The American magazine 19-FortyFive expressed great appreciation for the Russian S-500 Prometheus air defense missile system.
The Russian S-500 Prometheus air defense system outperforms its predecessors in terms of speed and ability to identify targets, and is said to be capable of defeating missiles larger than hypersonic and stealth aircraft such as the F-22 and F-35, and even low-orbit satellites.
The 19-FortyFive magazine website said that this makes the S-500 system strategically important in confronting the projection of American power and deterring adversaries by posing an increased threat to deploy or The movement of American forces.
The American website indicated that “this is a threat that American military officials and their technologically advanced allies have not yet fully anticipated in developing their weapons.”
The S-500 air defense missile system is capable of detecting and attacking up to 10 hypersonic ballistic targets, flying at speeds of up to 7 km/s at a distance of up to 600 km.
The reaction time of the S-500 system when a target appears is 3 to 4 seconds, which helps this long-range air defense system detect All threats are responded to much faster than previous missile systems.
19FortyFive magazine website said: “The S-500 Prometheus system is an experimental system that the Russians are still mastering. However, it would be disastrous to underestimate this air defense complex.”
The American website concluded that “the S-500 system is one of the most important and advanced weapons systems in Russia, and is capable of complicating the army’s capabilities.” Largely American.”
However, it must be emphasized that all parameters of the S-500 Prometheus are still theoretical, as the above-mentioned weapon has not yet proven its field capabilities, so There is no guarantee that it will avoid "mistakes" S-400.
Prometheus constantly caused disappointment on the battlefield.
It is noteworthy that the Chinese HQ-19 high-altitude air defense missile complex is considered as powerful as the Russian S-500 system and the American THAAD system.
