@mod_russia The S-500 Prometey, rival to #US-made THAAD systems, is believed to have a range of 600 km, allegedly capable of targeting up to 10 ballistic missiles at once, even if they are moving at the extremely high speed of up to 7 km/s.
@mod_russia @izvestia_ru The only caveat I have with this news is why would they take the brand new system to Syria to test if the deplyments of S-500 are not planned in SAR, but should first be mounted on RUS territory
