Russia’s defence ministry tests long-range missile for S-400 ABM systems

MOSCOW, April 4. /TASS/. Russia’s Defence Ministry has tested a long-range missile for the S-400 anti-ballistic missile systems, Deputy Commander of the Aerospace Defence Forces Maj Gen Kirill Makarov said on Saturday.

"This air interceptor missile was successfully launched and hit an air target simulator," Makarov said adding that the firing trajectory was less than 400 kilometres as the training area was not large enough for a full-length trajectory of 250 kilometres.

"When the army receives the new missile tested now, the firing trajectory will reach up to 400 kilometres," the general said.
