Almaz-Antey Group has delivered the second regiment set of S-400 ‘Triumf’ long-range anti-aircraft missile systems to Russia ahead of schedule, the group’s press office reported.
The S-400 ‘Triumf’ is the latest long- and medium-range surface-to-air missile system that went into service in 2007. It is designed to destroy aircraft and cruise and ballistic missiles, and can also be used against ground installations. The S-400 can engage targets at a distance of up to 400 km and at an altitude of up to 30 km under intensive enemy fire and jamming.
“Almaz-Antey Group has transferred the second regiment set of S-400 ‘Triumf’ surface-to-air missile systems to the Defense Ministry of Russia this year. The delivery ceremony took place at the Kapustin Yar training range in the Astrakhan Region,” the press office said in a statement.
Pursuant to the Defense Ministry’s requirements, the new military hardware held a verification test with the engagement of real air targets. The system performed without a glitch and the acceptance/delivery trials passed successfully, the statement says.
Almaz-Antey specialists were present during the system’s trials, from the start to the completion of missile firings.
