The S-500 Prometheus represents a major advancement in Russia's air and missile defense capabilities, developed by Almaz-Antey to supersede the existing S-400 Triumf. The system is designed to target threats at a maximum range of approximately 600 km (373 miles) for aerial targets, a substantial increase from the S-400’s 400 km (249 miles) range. It can intercept ballistic missile threats at distances up to 500 km (310 miles) and engage targets at altitudes of up to 200 km (124 miles), making it uniquely positioned to counter both atmospheric and near-space threats, such as low-Earth orbit satellites.
