Moscow, dated 16 July 2020, Thursday

The race for development of modern weapons between the United States and Russia seems to have resumed.

Russia is developing new weapons. Russia's S-400 air defense missile system is considered the deadliest in the world, for which India has struck a deal with Russia.

Russia is now developing an even more dangerous S-500 air defense missile system, which could join the Russian army by 2021. The range of the system is 400 to 600 kilometers, says Pavel Sojinov, chief engineer of the system. This is because this missile defense system can target any target flying in the sky, even a satellite in low orbit in space.

The missiles in this system reach enemy missiles or aircraft at speeds of up to 16,000 miles per hour. There is currently no S-500 collision defense system in the world. This system can destroy all types of ballistic missiles and hypersonic weapons. Also able to call for an end in an instant.

The system was successfully tested in 2019. It was originally scheduled to be manufactured in 2014 but will now join the Russian military in 2021. However, Russia has not yet made an official announcement. Russia fears that countries such as India and Turkey, which bought the S-400 system He can now order this system instead of the S-400.
