The main tests of the prototype of the first laser complex will be conducted by the developers at the end of August. During these tests, the system will "work" on targets simulating the Ukrainian long-range "Lyutyi" aircraft-type UAV. The system should intercept targets at a distance of up to 1.5 km.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the latest R-77M missiles with a range of 190 km have entered service with the Su-35S fighters.
