Russia to start building new S-500 air defense missiles by 2014​

Russia will start serial production of its next-generation S-500 missile system in 2014, an aerospace defense chief said on Thursday.

The S-500 air defense system will be able to track and destroy ballistic missiles with ranges of up to 3,500 kilometers.

"[The S-500] is currently in development. By 2014, it should enter into serial production," aerospace defense strategic commander Lt. Gen. Valery Ivanov said.

"This system will be able to defend territories at heights of up to 50 kilometers," he added.
Russia's aerospace defense troops currently use S-300 and S-400 systems.
New S-400 air defense missiles will be deployed at Dmitrov just outside Moscow in March, Ivanov said.

That is the range of incoming Missile..Not the range of S-500.

I think MoD is so much confuse about long range Air defence system

We have American, Israeli offer and also Russian option for it

I think for long range Russian and for short and medium range we need Israeli guidance
