MOSCOW, January 14 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's advanced S-400 air defense missile systems will be initially deployed in central regions of the country, the Air Force commander said on Monday.

The S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) air defense system is expected to form the new cornerstone of Russia's theater air and missile defenses up to 2020 or even 2025.

"The S-400 air defense systems will be primarily deployed in central Russia, and only after that in other regions of the country, when more systems become available," Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin said.

Russia successfully conducted last year live firing tests of the S-400 air defense complex at the Kapustin Yar firing range in south Russia's Astrakhan Region, and deployed a battalion equipped with the new system to protect the airspace around Moscow.

The S-400 is designed to intercept and destroy airborne targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles), twice the range of the U.S. MIM-104 Patriot, and 2.5 times that of the S-300PMU-2.

The system is believed to have high capability to destroy stealth aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, with an effective range of up to 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) and a speed of up to 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) per second.

A regular S-400 battalion comprises at least eight launchers with 32 missiles and a mobile command post, according to various sources.

Jedna tuzna vest koja je meni promakla:

S-400 designer Alexander Lemansky dies of heart failure

27/09/2007 17:06 MOSCOW, September 27 (RIA Novosti) - The chief designer of the S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) air defense system died Thursday at the Kapustin Yar firing range in south Russia, a spokesman for the Almaz company said Thursday.

"It happened this morning at the Kapustin Yar firing range. According to unconfirmed reports, he died of heart failure," the spokesman said.

Alexander Lemansky was the chief designer at the Almaz Scientific Production Association. He was born May 24, 1935 in Moscow.

In 1959, he graduated from the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. A Doctor of Engineering and professor, from 1958-2001 Lemansky worked for the Almaz Central Design Bureau designing the S-300 and S-400 AD systems.

He was a holder of the Distinguished Scientist Award of the Russian Federation, the USSR State Prize winner (1978), and the USSR Academy of Science Prize winner (1986).

The S-400 is designed to intercept and destroy airborne targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles), or twice the range of the U.S. MIM-104 Patriot, and 2.5 times that of the S-300PMU-2.

The system is believed to have high capability to destroy stealth aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles with an effective range of up to 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles), and a speed of up to 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) per second.

Experts believe that the ability to intercept and destroy cruise missiles and ballistic missiles makes the S-400 Triumf a crucial part of theater missile defenses.

A regular S-400 battalion comprises at least eight launchers and 32 missiles and a mobile command post, according to various sources.

The ADS is believed to form the new baseline for Russian air defense up to 2020 or even 2025.

The S-400 was first demonstrated at MAKS-2007, an aviation exhibition held in the town of Zhukovsky, in the Moscow Region, this year.

Neka počiva u miru.
Ipak je imao skoro 80 godina, i imao je ko da nauči od njega.

RIP.........ostavio covek dovoljno iza sebe da ga nikad ne zaborave

Mene interesuje kada bi u buducnosti nabavili S300/400 za tih 480 miliona kao sto si ti rekao, koliko bi po tvom misljenju to bila efikasna odbrana u slucaju eventualnog rata sa NATO-om(samo se sa natoom i granicimo)? Koliko bi to omogucilo bolje dejstvo postojecih Kub i Neva sistema?
I jos jedno pitanje, a tice se S-500.  Citao sam malo nesto o njemu i neverovatnom dometu od 3500km, pa da li znas nesto vise o tome, kakav mu je status i sl?

Jos "samo  da neko stisne i potpise narudzbenicu i nalog za  isplatu " za ovako nesto - u ovom "odnosu snaga kod nas" ...?

ko ih jebe ,ja bi naterao politicare da rade 10 godina samo za leba i vodu,a njihove plate bih usmerio na placanje oruzanih sistema...pandurima bi dao da voze ficu...i samo da nose pepper spray kao oruzje...ihihihi

Dok se Rusija orjentisala na odbrambenu industriju, SAD su razvijale i razvijaće superiorne napadačke sisteme. Sve je sigurno osim sukoba o kome bi dalje mogli da diskutujemo 

Da li je "dozvoljena diskusija" ,    bar  o tehnichkim karakteristikama  tzv . "S-300/400"  ? 

dali iko od vas razmislja u pravcu dali nema neko hoce da proda neko oruzje kao s-300... niti imamo para, a tak sto smo veliki... bog da nas vidi, u startu sa tim ugrozavamo 3-4 okolne zemlje... aloooo ljudi mi smo potpisivali sporazume... pa kad ih prekrsimo onda ce biti, nas niko nevoli i svi su protiv nas!
