Revealing the super missile that threatens to ground the F-35

Within the framework of the "Army 2018" forum, a series of new military equipment and weapons appeared, attracting the attention of military experts and world media.

Notably, at this forum, Russia officially introduced the 40H6E long-range air defense missile.

This product is manufactured by JSC VKO "Almaz-Antey", they will be equipped for the most modern air defense systems in the world today.

Details of Russia's new air defense missile appeared at the "Army-2018" forum.

Previously, the company's representative revealed that the tests related to the 40H6E missile were successful and were entering the final stage.

Information about them has appeared for a long time but only now on this forum have details about their shape and detailed technical features been revealed.

This type of missile is designed to destroy aircraft, drones, warheads and cruise missiles at a distance of up to 400 km. In the future, they will be equipped with the S-500 air defense system.

Experts say the S-500 air defense system, along with new missiles and high-speed long-wave radar systems such as the RLS Voronezh-DM and 1L119 Nebo SVU, will make stealth aircraft such as the US F-22 and F-35 lose their place.

40N6E is a two-stage solid-fuel anti-aircraft missile. Its range allows to destroy all targets within the radar system's field of view.

This type of missile is equipped with a new homing head, it can operate in active mode, after detecting the target the missile's radar system allows it to automatically track and rush to the target without needing a guidance signal.

It is believed to be capable of hitting satellites operating in orbit 185 km above the ground.

The project to develop this air-to-air missile has been underway since 2007. It is considered a long-range interceptor missile and is intended to counter future weapons such as hypersonic weapons and even attacks from near space.

These missiles were originally designed for the S-400 air defense system, but they will also be equipped for the S-500 system, and will even become the main missile for the S-500.

Russia's introduction and preparation for putting into service this type of missile will become a new challenge for the US.

Firstly, in the field of air defense, Russia once again demonstrated to the world its potential and took the lead in this field, surpassing the US. Secondly, the appearance of these systems and missiles will limit the operational capabilities of US stealth aircraft, especially in war zones.

The forum “Army-2018” is traditionally devoted to ground military technical means.

At the static exhibition areas there are T-14 Armata tanks, T-15, Kurganets-25, Boomerang, Terminator military vehicles, “Alliance-SV” self-propelled artillery systems, “Sosna”, “Buk-M3”, “Pantsir-S1” and “Derivasia” interceptor missile systems.
