2019 || S-500 Make The F-35 & F-22 Stealth Aircraft Obsolete !!!
- 5 years ago
The S-500 is a new-generation surface-to-air missile system.
It is designed for intercepting and destroying intercontinental ballistic missiles, as well as hypersonic cruise missiles and aircraft, for air defense against Airborne Early Warning and Control and for jamming aircraft. With a planned range of 600 km for anti-ballistic missile and 400 km for the air defence, the S-500 would be able to detect and simultaneously engage up to 10 ballistic hypersonic targets flying at a speed of 5 kilometres per second to a limit of 7 km/s.
It also aims at destroying hypersonic cruise missiles and other aerial targets at speeds of higher than Mach 5, as well as spacecraft.
The altitude of a target engaged can be as high as 180–200 km.
It is effective against ballistic missiles with a launch range of 3,500 km, the radar reaches a radius of 3,000 km.
Other targets it has been announced to defend against include: unmanned aerial vehicles, low Earth orbit- satellites, and space weapons launched from hypersonic aircraft, drones, and hypersonic orbital platforms.
Russia’s fearsome new S-500 air and missile defence system has apparently entered production—and is setting new records for missile engagement range.
The next generation weapon is designed to supplement Moscow’s already potent S-400 and replace the A-135 anti-ballistic missile system.
Not only does the weapon have unprecedented capability to hit high altitude targets—including ballistic missiles and satellites—at extremely long ranges, there have been some claims—usually from the media—that the system could target stealth aircraft.
Indeed, according to U.S. defense sources, Moscow recently conducted a record-breaking test of the S-500 system at ranges that were previously thought to be impossible.
According to a CNBC report citing U.S. intelligence officials, “the S-500 surface-to-air missile system successfully struck a target 299 miles away, which the U.S. assessed is 50 miles further than any known test.”
S-500 can engage stealth aircraft…….
There are some reports that the S-500 can engage stealth aircraft including the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, F-35 Joint Strike Fighter or any other low observable platform for that matter.
The Russians claim that the system can engage over the horizon and can be plugged into an air defense network—to include satellites.
Given the S-500’s advanced networking capabilities, some military analysts have suggested that the Russians might genuinely be able to engage stealth aircraft.
Indeed, by networking multiple high-speed long wave radars , it might be possible to generate a weapons quality track on an aircraft such as the F-22 or F-35. Sensor fusion has afforded militaries many capabilities that are greater than the sum of their part.
S-500 might not make the Stealth aircraft “obsolete”.
It merely extends the Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) bubble outward and makes operating within it much more dangerous.
