“Another
top notch S-400 missile defense system has been deployed to Russia's
far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula. The new generation weapons with a
range of up to 400 kilometers can bring down small planes and nuclear
charged ballistic missiles.”
“S-400’s
are already protecting the skies over Moscow and St. Petersburg, and
Severomorsk – the headquarters of the Northern Fleet, the
Kaliningrad region – the most western part of the country, locked
between Poland, Lithuania and Belarus and home to Russia’s Baltic
Fleet, and also southern regions and the coast of the Sea of Japan in
the Far East.”
“The
S-400 is a new generation anti-aircraft system, which can be equipped
with very long-range missiles (up to 400km), long-range (250km) and
medium-range (120km). It’s capable of shooting down anything from
small aircraft to cruise missiles such as the Tomahawk, and even
ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads. For the next few
years Russia doesn’t plan to export the system. It will only sell
the older S-300. However, a future S-400 shipment deal has been
struck with China, which became the first state on the list of at
least eight other countries wanting to get their hands on it,
including Saudi Arabia and Turkey.”
