According to the publication, Prometheus easily attacks not only simple missiles, but also promising strategic hypersonic aircraft (analogues of the Russian Avangard). The tests were carried out in several stages.
“Prometheus confirmed that it is capable of tracking and intercepting such targets,” the material says.
According to the editor of the Militaryrussia portal, Dmitry Kornev, the S-500 can shoot down any missile, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, including those equipped with hypersonic guided units, as well as directly hypersonic ones.
Previously, “Prometheus” was highly praised in China. According to Chinese experts, it will become an excellent “shield” for Moscow’s aerospace defense, as well as a powerful response to Washington’s space strategy.
Western analysts, in turn, suggested that the Russian Armed Forces could use this complex against F-16 fighters in Ukraine.
