The S-500 long-range missile system is expected to become the backbone of Russia’s unified aerospace defense system, which is currently being formed.
The missile system will have an extended range of up to 600km and is capable of engaging ten targets simultaneously.
The system is also expected to be capable of intercepting ballistic missiles and hypersonic cruise missiles, according to RIA Novosti.
