    PanARMENIAN.Net - A new long-range missile for Russia's formidable
    S-400 air defense system will soon enter service, chief-of-staff of
    Russia's Air and Missile Defense Command Maj. Gen. Andrei Demin said
    on Thursday, June 28, according to RIA Novosti.

    "A long-range missile for S-400 has passed all trials and will soon
    be delivered to air defense units," Demin told RIA Novosti without
    specifying the model.

    According to experts, it could be the 40N6 variant, which has an active
    radar homing head and is capable of destroying airborne targets at
    ranges of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles).

    Russia currently has four S-400 regiments - two in the Moscow region,
    one in the Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad, and one in the Eastern
    Military District.

    By 2020, Russia is to have 28 S-400 regiments, each comprised of two
    battalions, mainly in maritime and border areas.

    The S-400 Triumf long- to medium-range surface-to-air missile
    system can effectively engage any aerial target, including aircraft,
    unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise and ballistic missiles at up to
    400 kilometers and an altitude of up to 30 kilometers.
