Do you pay attention to provided information, or you want to argue for the sake of argue? I disregard propaganda from any source, and I have studied technologies in great detail since the 1990s.
Russia is not a PEER of USA in technology-related matters [like this or not].

S-500 offers
REGIONAL ballistic missile defense capability much like American
THAAD and Israeli
Arrow 3.
"S-500s would be ideal for providing regional ballistic missile defense along Russia’s European borders with NATO. It is in many ways roughly analogous to the U.S.-made Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, or THAAD, though the goal is clearly to offer flexibility to respond to more conventional aerial threats, as well." - Joseph Trevithick (2018)
S-500 is equipped with following interceptors.
Confirmed range = 600 KM*
Confirmed ceiling = 100 KM**
*
Confirmed via testing.
"According to the anonymous individuals, the S-500 was able to hit a target just shy of 300 miles away, which is some 50 miles further than the previous record. The stated range of the existing S-400 system when using the 40N6 missile is almost 250 miles."

**
Confirmed by Russian developer Almaz-Antey.
"Earlier this week, Pavel Sozinov, chief engineer of the Russian defense corporation Almaz-Antey, said that Russia's next-generation S-500 surface-to-air missile system would be able to engage targets in the upper layer of the atmosphere, 100 kilometers [62 miles] above the Earth's surface."

GMD offers
CONTINENTAL ballistic missile defense capability - the only type in the world.
"First operationally fielded in 2004, GMD and its associated elements today span 15 time zones, including two Ground-based Interceptor (GBI) sites at Ft. Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg AFB, California, seven types of sensors, and various command and control systems." - CSIS
GMD is equipped with re-engineered 3-stage solid fuel ICBM class interceptors.
GMD interceptors are so huge that they are positioned in relevant SILO just like ICBM.
Observed range = 4000+ KM
Observed ceiling = 700+ KM
"GMD is designed expressly to counter long-range, intercontinental class ballistic missiles which threaten the U.S. homeland. It uses a three-stage booster, giving the necessary range and divert capability to perform intercepts over a greater distance. This range in turn gives GMD the greatest coverage area of any U.S. system, defending all fifty states. Other missile defense systems, including Aegis, THAAD, and Patriot, are generally described as “regional” systems, and are tailored more toward short or intermediate range ballistic missile threats. While elements of these systems may have homeland defense applications, they have significantly much smaller coverage areas than GMD." - CSIS
