Russia may soon deploy its new missile defense system S-500 to establish its reign from earth to space. This new system will replace the S-400. This new system also has the potential to destroy hypersonic missiles.

Russia may soon deploy a new ‘Brahmastra’ amid increasing tensions with the US and other NATO countries. This Russian weapon is so deadly that it can also eliminate hypersonic missiles coming from space. The name of this Brahmastra in Russia is S-500. This state-of-the-art missile defense system will replace its predecessor S-400. Let’s know why the S-500 is so special.

S-500 will ruin the attack from space

The S-500 Prometheus is a surface-to-air missile defense system. It is such a defense shield of Russia that it can annihilate from hypersonic missiles to drone aircraft in the blink of an eye. The S-500 defense missile system has a range of 400 to 600 km. The Chief Engineer of this defense system, Pavel Sojinov, announced that the S-500 is capable of destroying hundreds of kilometers of earth’s target. This missile defense system sends killer missiles towards the target at a speed of 16 thousand miles per hour which is many times more than the speed of sound.

No one in the world of S-500

Commander Sergei Surovikin of Aerospace Forces of Russia said that the technical feature of the S-500 makes it the weapon of the first-generation space defense network. This type of weapon is none in the world. The S-500 can eliminate all types of ballistic missiles and hypersonic weapons capable of being dropped from space. This defense system can target 10 targets simultaneously. The S-500 can also destroy satellites in low orbit in space.

How different is the S-500 system from the S-400?

The S-500 is different in many ways from its predecessor, the S-400. The S-500 has a range of 400 km over the S-400. The S-500’s radar is also much more powerful than the S-400. The S-500 is also capable of tracking and destroying hypersonic missiles. Not only this, if a country leaves a hypersonic aircraft or drone from space, then it can destroy the S-500. This is the reason that Russia is keeping information about this weapon very secret.
