Russian S-400 air defense systems were able to bring down a hypersonic missile.

Russian C-400 anti-aircraft missile systems were able to confirm their effectiveness by destroying a hypersonic missile that can reach speeds of up to 7000 km / h. We are talking about the Favorit-RM missile, a target missile launched from the launcher of the Russian S-300 air defense system.

“The Russian anti-aircraft missile system C-400 Triumph was able to intercept the latest hypersonic target Favorit-RM. Test launches took place at the Kapustin Yar training ground in the Astrakhan region. Thus, the military personnel checked the new air defense systems, which they transferred from the factory.
