Russia has been rearming. The fifth generation air defence system based on S-400 missile weapon is now coming into operation and is expected to be used for providing security during the Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi. Tourists and guests of the Olympics-2014 can sleep peacefully because the new air defence system is said to be 2.5 times more effective than S-330 missile defence system, can fight any types of aircraft, and will also be able to counter strikes from outer space.
      “While creating S-400 missile weapon we reached understanding of the next generation of air defence systems – it can be called the fifth generation. It is more compact, more maneuverable, and undoubtedly – having better characteristics of countering air battle”, Commander-in-Chief of Air Forces of Russia reported to journalists yesterday, August 8.
      He also added: “Builders will construct objects for the Olympics in Sochi, and we are to prepare the air defense system that will provide secure hosting of the Olympic Games of 2014”.
