The Russian Ministry of Defense has announced the formation of the first regiment of the S-500 “Prometheus” long-range air defense missile system.
Despite being embroiled in a conflict with Ukraine, Russia has, for the first time, showcased its Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) for the long-range S-500 “Prometheus” air defense system at the Russia Army 2024 exhibition in Moscow recently.
Russia has deployed its most advanced air defense system, the S-500 “Prometheus,” to the Crimea Peninsula, which it annexed from Ukraine, to protect the Kerch Bridge that spans the Kerch Strait.
The Russian military will soon begin receiving and deploying the S-500 “Prometheus” long-range defense system this year, significantly enhancing its capabilities to intercept hypersonic missiles traveling at speeds up to Mach 10, announced Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu.
