From August 27 to September 1 this year, the next International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2013 is being held on the territory of the Transport and Exhibition Complex Rossiya (Zhukovsky, Moscow Region). Now this exhibition event deservedly occupies one of the leading places among the world's largest aviation forums.
Among the aircraft, weapons, equipment and military equipment presented at the airshow, the S-350 anti-aircraft missile system produced by the Almaz-Antey air defense concern was demonstrated to the general public for the first time. According to the developers, this promising medium-range anti-aircraft missile system surpasses foreign counterparts in its capabilities and should replace the S-300 air defense systems currently in service.
The S-350 anti-aircraft missile system is designed to defend administrative, industrial and military facilities from massive attacks by modern and advanced air attack weapons. It is capable of simultaneously repelling the strikes of various airborne systems around the entire range of their flight altitudes - from extremely low to high. The S-350 can operate autonomously, as well as as part of air defense groups when controlled from higher command posts. The combat work of the system is carried out completely automatically - the combat crew provides only preparation for work and controls the course of combat operations.
