Moscow: China and India are the first potential customers of the S-500 system

According to Fars News Agency’s International Group, Dmitry Shogayev, director of Russia’s Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation, announced the possibility of selling S-500 missile defense systems to China and India.

Shugayev said in a televised interview today (Tuesday) that China and India are the first potential customers of Russia’s next-generation defense system and that it is likely to be sold to the two countries in the near future.

According to the news agency “Sputnik“In our view, India and China, and all the countries with which we have a long-term partnership and bilateral cooperation is predictable, will be the future owners of these advanced systems,” he explained.

The Russian Defense Ministry official stated that as soon as a sufficient number of S-500 systems are produced and delivered to the Russian army and armed forces, the export of these systems to foreign countries will begin.

According to the report, Shogayev then provided a list of the most popular Russian weapons among foreign countries: “S-400 air defense systems, Pantzer-S1 anti-aircraft artillery and missile systems, as well as a complete set of aviation equipment, Cornet anti-tank missile systems and rocket launchers.” “The Smurf Multiplayer (MRLS) are among the most in-demand weapons among foreign customers.”

The system is said to be superior to the S-400 in terms of speed and power, with a range of 600 km and three to four seconds faster than the S-400. The S-500 missiles are capable of intercepting cruise and intercontinental ballistic missiles at speeds in excess of Mach 5. Almaz Anti, the maker of the system, claims that the S-500 can target satellites below Earth orbit.

“At least 50 percent of Russia’s exports are air equipment,” he said, according to Sputnik. “The value of Russian arms export orders is about $ 52 billion.”

Shugayev also said that Russia has military-technical cooperation with 100 countries and supplies its products to more than 50 countries around the world.

He also noted that international sanctions against Moscow have had no effect on Russia’s arms supply to the world.

In late July of this year, the Russian military agency announced that the S-500 missile defense system had been successfully tested in a drill and would be delivered to the Russian army after completing the full cycle of technical tests. (More details)
