The first batteries of these complexes will likely be deployed in Wiesbaden between 2025 and 2027. The flight time of the C-HGB Glide Body Block 1 warheads to Moscow is 10.5 minutes, and to Yekaterinburg - 16.5 minutes.
Intercepting gliding warheads at altitudes above 80 km can be done with 53T6M anti-missiles of the A-235 complex, below 60 km - with 77N6-N/N1 anti-aircraft missiles of the S-500 systems, below 50 km - with 9M82MD and 48N6DM anti-aircraft missiles, as well as 40N6 anti-aircraft missile systems S-300V4 and S-400.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia has begun developing engines for a domestic reusable super-light rocket.
