Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov has previously said that the S-500 anti-ballistic missile system would be received by the Russian military in the coming years.

Sergei Chemezov, CEO of the defence industry giant Rostec said that Russia has recently started manufacturing cutting-edge S-500 missile systems.

"We are already starting to produce the S-500. This is a more advanced system [than S-400], so I would not like to talk about it now, as it hasn't been adopted by our military yet", Chemezov told the broadcaster Rossiya 1 on Sunday.

He also noted that the systems will be delivered to the Armed Forces after weapons tests.

The S-500 Prometey, also known as 55R6M "Triumfator-M", is a Russian surface-to-air missile/anti-ballistic missile system designed to replace the A-135 missile system currently in use, and supplement the S-400.

The system's specifications remain officially classified, but according to reports, the S-500 is capable of destroying targets up to 600 kilometres (372 miles) away, and it is also believed to be able to track and simultaneously strike up to 10 ballistic targets moving at speeds of up to 7 kilometres (4 miles) per second (approximately Mach 20).

This is serious tech.

Its effectiveness depends on what counter measures it employs against electronic and cyber attacks by nato and u.s and how its radar can detect stealth fighters like f22 and b2 bombers

Keep in mind russians do exaggerate about their weapons ability.

I thought Turkey was to become a partner ?

Russia should be careful in selling weapons to every one who wants to buy

back door channels and US can again inside information on S400 and S500 and in-cooperate that into F35 defence, and this is why on so many occasions US has defeated Russian systems

look how protective US is over F35, they are ready to drop a full blown NATO member over S400 and F35 saga

Turkey has the second largest army in NATO yet US didn't blink a eye and put sanction on Turks over S400

they never compromise technology but on the other hand Russia is ready to sell top tier systems to anyone with cash, that has to change a little bit
