KALININGRAD, March
15. /TASS/. A new regimental set of the air defense system S-400 Triumf has
entered combat duty in the Kaliningrad Region, the Baltic Fleet’s press-service
told TASS on Friday.
"In the
Kaliningrad region the crews of new generation air defense systems S-400 have
entered combat duty to protect the air borders of the country’s westernmost
region," the press-service said.
The Baltic Fleet
received a batch of S-400s in the beginning of March. The systems arrived at
their permanent location in the Kaliningrad Region from the Kapustin Yar test
site in the Astrakhan Region after successful test launches.
The S-400 Triumf
systems are meant for hitting all modern and yet-to-be developed means of
attack from the air and outer space - reconnaissance planes, stealth aircraft,
fighters, strategic bombers, cruise and ballistic missiles, drones and
hypersonic vehicles.
