A Russian politician told Vladimir Solovyov about a secret development of a new generation anti-aircraft system, which has no analogues in the world, on a television talk show Vladimir Solovyov.
The Russian Federation is the generally recognized world leader in the development of the most successful and effective air defense systems. The recently adopted S-400 Triumph systems are an insurmountable obstacle for aviation and cruise missiles of any modern power. Moreover: after the development by the Russian designers of an even more modern S-500 Prometheus system, any air targets of a potential enemy are practically doomed at a distance of up to 600 km from the place of deployment of the Prometheus launcher. Be that as it may, the politician known for his eccentric remarks said during a talk show that the Russian armed forces would receive significantly more effective anti-aircraft systems — specifically Zhirinovsky called the C-600 and C-700 systems.
"S-300 is now interested in them. They paid attention to zero - that there is some S-300. And now they are afraid, because the direct ally of the United States is Israel, it is afraid - the S-300 is near. And any aircraft - not only Israeli - Any military aircraft can be destroyed. And the Americans as a whole are afraid that the whole world will see that the best air defense system in the world is Russian C-300. And we have C-400, C-500, C-600 and C-700. “We can close the entire planet, and not a single plane will fly into the air,” said Vladimir Volfovich.
The presenter of the program, V. Solovye, and at the same time all the viewers in the studio responded to the politician’s assertion with humor, and Vladimir Solovyov himself advised Zhirinovsky not to blab out the secrets of national defense capability.
No matter how unlikely such a sensational news may seem, experts still admit that information is not without a grain of truth.
“Comparatively recently, the Russian military reported: scientists are developing an air defense system based on new physical principles; the Russian army already has missiles capable of making long flights (Burevestnik); designed radars can detect enemy planes at distances of several thousand kilometers - everything this, in fact, characterizes the same C-700 that Zhirinovsky spoke about. Of course, the project should be implemented initially, but the very concept voiced by the politician coincides with the basic principles of almost 90%, "- said the expert.
