The existing Russian anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) make the creation of an analog of the Israeli "Iron Dome" impractical. This opinion was expressed by military expert Mikhail Khodarenok.
The analyst clarified that the "Iron Dome" is a specific system created by Israel for a specific situation. Therefore, it makes no sense for Russia to repeat such an approach, since it already has the necessary means for anti-aircraft cover of facilities.
As an example, Khodarenok cited the SAM systems С-400 "Triumph", S-350, "Tor" and "Buk-M3", which provide cover for facilities on all frontiers.
Having all these means, the corresponding radar reconnaissance systems and automated control systems, creating some version of the "Iron Dome", in my opinion, makes no sense.
Russia presented a model of the S-400 "Triumph" SAM system in the air defense segment at the Aero India exhibition. In addition, India showed models of the short-range Tor-M2KM SAM system in stationary and mobile versions, the Tor-M2K on wheels and the Tor-E2 on a tracked chassis.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia has invented a way to combat drones with fiber optic control.
