New Russian air-defense systems will go on combat duty in the Russian army in 2006, a senior military official said Thursday.
"S-400 systems will be put on combat duty this year," Russian Air Force commander Vladimir Mikhailov said at a meeting with foreign military attaches.
However, he specified neither the timeframe nor the future location of these systems.
The S-400 (NATO reporting name SA-20 Triumf) is an advanced surface-to-air missile system designed to destroy aircraft, cruise missiles, and short- and medium-range ballistic missiles at ranges of up to 400 kilometers (250 miles).
