History
Designed as the exo-atmospheric complement to S-400, the S-500 combines 77N6 hit-to-kill missiles against IRBMs and hypersonic threats with 40N6M missiles for aerodynamic targets out to 600 km.
First batteries entered service in 2021 near Moscow; the programme has been slowed by sanctions and internal competition for Almaz-Antey resources.
