19FortyFive: Russia’s S-500: How Putin Plans to Kill the F-22 and F-35
The head engineer of the air defense system explained that the S-500 “neutralizes American offensive weapons.”
Last month, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu revealed that Moscow would complete its missile defense systems modernization efforts by the end of 2023. Russia began prioritizing its aerospace defense capabilities in 2020, when the Kremlin announced its State Armament Program. Under the latest iteration of the program, dubbed GPV-2027 in Russia, the production of the new S-500 system will be accomplished.
Russia’s latest anti-aircraft missile defense system, “Prometheus,” is expected to become a staple of the Kremlin’s aerospace defense system. The combat capabilities of the Prometheus reportedly blows its predecessor’s abilities out of the water. However, while Moscow may claim that this new system could easily take down fifth-generation fighters like the F-22 Raptor or the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, little remains confirmed about the S-500.

The S400 was a pretty good system.
Stealth tech had been around since the 80s, so it is way beyond its limit of absolute advantage.
But as how effective the s500 is??
Well ,, computer modeling and testing range practice will only take you so far. REAL time combat is the only true test. So only time will tell.
Russia always makes that claim about its AA missiles. Show me.

Never seen him until today. I do not disagree with him. He/she seems strange. Someone else used that phrase a lot. So my gut feel is persona management or sock puppet.
Yup, most turns too crap once the shooting starts
Stealth tech of 80s bears no resemblance to today's tech , the 400 never faced assault by a peer power. Pantsir 1 point defence looks awesome on paper also, near useless in combat against Israel.
You are weird
Back to the good cold war time. We shall see more and more "news" which explain why we are backward...because this will bring more and more money to the military industry.
Lavrov was in Cuba recently. Plenty of rumours swirling around the the Russians are going to reopen their old missile bases. This is 100% the doing of the whacked woke progressive Biden administration. And Russia will have plenty of new allies in this new war.
