Over the next 20 years, the USD 2.5 billion S-500 Prometheus and the specialised S-550 will gradually replace the S-400. These next-generation systems expand the intercept range to 600 km to destroy hypersonic missiles and LEO satellites.

What could replace the S-400 in the next 20 years?

The S-400 cannot fire while moving. To safely launch its heavy Mach 14 interceptors, the system must halt, deploy hydraulic outriggers, and elevate its tubes vertically. However, a crew can transition from driving to firing in just five minutes.Untitled Summary

Can an S-400 fire while moving?

Because the S-400 uses a modular architecture, the breakdown of a single vehicle does not disable the system. The 55K6E command post instantly reroutes firing commands to operational launchers, while overlapping radars prevent blind spots.Untitled Summary

What happens if one vehicle in an S-400 battery breaks down?
