The Russian military is announcing the arrival of a new, shorter-range, high-tech complimentary air-defense system capable of supporting the existing S-400s and knocking out incoming ballistic missiles as well as aerodynamic targets.

The Russian government’s TASS news agency calls it the Vityaz S-350 and reports it represents a technical leap forward to support existing air-defences with a closer in envelope reaching altitudes of 30km.

“The S-350 ‘Vityaz’ was engineered by the Almaz-Antey defense manufacturer as a battlefield air defense weapon capable of striking targets within a radius of 60 km and at an altitude of 30 km. 

The air defense system is designed to fight both aerodynamic and ballistic targets. An S-350 launcher is outfitted with 12 surface-to-air missiles,” the TASS report says.

The Russian report claims the new S-350 can destroy both “existing and future air attack weapons,” raising an ambiguous yet ambitious claim. Russian papers have claimed that their upgraded S-400 and S-500 air defenses are capable of detecting and striking stealth aircraft, an unverified statement which raises more questions than it answers.
