Russian anti-aircraft missile complex (Prometheus) C-500 “Prometheus” is able to “kill” American fighters fifth generation F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, tells American magazine The National Interest.
In the publication of the publication, this SPC is called “one of the most direct and effective responses of Russia” on the US stealth aircraft.
Magazine reminds that C-500 “Prometheus” has a rocket 77n6, capable of intercepting, in particular, hypersonic targets.
Also, this SPC can also destroy up to 600 kilometers ballistic missiles.
The publication argues that the C-500 “Prometheus” may be an effective weapon against satellites located at a low near-earth orbit.
The National Interest notes that this SPC was not replaced by the C-400 “Triumph”, but turned out to be an additional component in the echelonized air defense network (air defense).
In September 2019, the Commander of the US Air Force (Air Force) in Europe, Jeffrey Harrigan stated that the Pentagon had a plan for a breakthrough of the Multilayer Air Defense of the Kaliningrad Region.
