Russia Tests S-500 Air Defense Missile

Russia has successfully test-launched a long-range interceptor missile which will be brought into service of a promising air defense missile system S-500, a source in the defense and industrial complex told ITAR-TASS on Monday.

“Test-launches were made in late June. All goals and tasks set within this event were fulfilled completely,” the source noted.

He noted that air defense system-producing concern Almaz-Antey was developing an air defense missile system of new generation S-500 fully in line with the deadlines set in the state-funded armament program until 2020.
