In the summer of 2020, the commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of the Russian Federation, Sergei Surovikin, said that the new anti-missile missiles would strengthen Moscow’s missile defense system. Its effectiveness should be doubled.
What kind of rocket was tested is not reported. However, experts believe that we are talking about the “Nudol” model. It will be part of the S-500 Prometheus mobile anti-aircraft missile system. This complex will have to intercept all types of aircraft, including intercontinental ballistic missiles.
