Domestic combat potential does not sleep military theorists and practitioners across the ocean. The language of our opponents, he is called “flexing its muscles”. So it was in the Soviet period, continues to be so until now. Currently, “partners” and “colleagues” are extremely dissatisfied with the newly minted “s-350”.
Panic in the foreign press
February 26, 2024, Newsweek published an article called “Russia’s Military Rolls Out New ‘Cruise Missile Killer’ Weapons System”. On Russian it can be translated as: “Russian military implement a new battle system “of cruise missiles””. Title emotionally neutral, can not be said about the content that is described with ill-concealed alarm.
Wednesday, that is February 26, the Russian air and space forces launched a renewed anti-missile system “Vityaz”, or “s-350”. It is noted that the Ministry of defence of the Russian Federation commended the training of their own troops. Also at the Ministerial level, the conclusion about full fitness “s-350” to protect a key Russian facilities from air and missile strikes against them.
“C-350” is the “ruler” of the system “S-200”, “C-300”, “s-500”. Development of the “Vityaz” was conducted from 2007 to 2019 – and that: in January this year, the most powerful anti-aircraft missile system of domestic production is finally adopted. 22 December 2019 were tested at the Kapustin Yar in the Astrakhan region, and already on December 23, the Ministry of defense adopted a new system into service.
According to the comment provided by developer “Knights” – JSC “EKO Concern “Almaz-Antey”,” the complex effective as a part of mnogooneway system of defense, and itself. In addition, the developer stated that the working height of targets is 9.5, 60, or 120 kilometers, depending on what missiles “s-350” is equipped with. This provides for the possibility of starting immediately a dozen shells. Military expert Yuri Muravin in an interview with the newspaper “Red Star” called the updated complex “killer cruise missiles”.
“Newsweek” convinced that the improved “Knights” were a response to overseas advanced weapons, the development of which was officially banned for 30 years under the Treaty “On the elimination of intermediate and shorter-range missiles,” December 8, 1987. After the unilateral refusal of the Atlantic powers from the obligations under this Treaty, the Americans managed to create the missiles, striking at a distance up to 5,5 thousand kilometers.
the Reasons for overseas neurosis
Putin, instructing you to create a powerful missile systems, however, adheres to the concept of “reciprocal deployment” – in case the first one gets deployed U.S. and NATO installation. This fact is admitted even by the American press. So, it would seem that the reasons for concern with such a peaceful policy no. However, well they still are.
Expert mark Milly called Russia “the only country on Earth that poses a real and serious threat to the United States.” And if you thought danger, according to Miles, is our nuclear missile potential, something was wrong. “The Russians can kill any man, woman, and child” it says the American analyst. And, they say, only keep US unhealthy and manic Russian intentions.
overseas, Russian – as well as the offsetting her American – rhetoric served with such a sauce. But if you consider the possibilities and the widest coverage in the media, it turns out that this point of view is almost universally accepted as the only correct one. Moreover, we Express no reinforcements weighty arguments.
At the same timeAMI “Champions humanistic values” spill the beans regarding the true causes of his anxiety.
The same Newsweek notes that Russia began to outperform the United States in the development and deployment of nuclear and highly maneuverable hypersonic weapons. Ostensibly, in this regard, the Americans and conducted exercises with simulated nuclear strike on our country. But the reason, apparently, still in the other. Not that the Russian side uses its tremendous potential to attack, but the fact that she guides him on defense.
you Have to understand that Americans are afraid of the “Vityaz” for a reason — it’s a weapon for protection against the hypersonic weapons, which is now the new global trend. Russia is now the leader in its development and is recognized even in the Pentagon. “C-350” can simultaneously fire up to 16 up to 12 aerodynamic and ballistic targets moving at a speed of 4,800 kilometres per hour, while making 32 missiles. Time to bring in the complex in full combat readiness with marsh not to exceed five minutes. Until 2027 is planned to put on combat duty 12 complexes “Vityaz”.
Such worries, especially if you have immoderate appetites geopolitical States. Not without reason do the Americans have included “C-350” in the so-called “black list asymmetric responses.” “Our huge fear,” – said at the time, the Emperor Alexander III, and since then little has changed.
At the time to remember his other statement: “Russia has only two allies – its army and Navy.” According to Western media, our enhancement abroad is not happy.
