TASS: the mobile missile defense system S-550 can become a development of the A-135 probably works on the principle of kinetic interception of targets, which will save from the formation of “nuclear ash” over the heads of the inhabitants of Russia when intercepting enemy missiles, for example, the United States. TASS military observer Dmitry Litovkin writes about this.
The author notes that “in the case of the missile defense system in the USSR, the interception of nuclear warheads over the Central industrial region of the country was carried out by an oncoming nuclear explosion.” “Everything burned in the plasma cloud – decoy decoys and the warheads themselves. Thus, the “nuclear ash” still fell on the country. The S-550, logically speaking, will work according to a different principle – kinetic interception, “the observer is sure.
In his opinion,” the debris of the warhead will flicker, but not as if they did succeed detonate our charge over our heads. ” The author is sure that, most likely, the S-550 can become “a development of the A-135 system, which, while remaining on alert, will be supplemented by a new echelon of A-235 Nudol long-range anti-atmospheric intercept missiles and its mobile analogue.”
In November, a TASS source close to the Ministry of Defense said that the first mobile specialized strategic missile defense system S-550 would be put into service with the Russian army until 2025. As RIA Novosti wrote at the same time, referring to sources in the military-industrial complex, the S-550 will become the world's first mobile specialized anti-missile and anti-space defense system.
