Highly regarded technically, Russia’s most powerful air-defense systems have been a major strategic asset to the country, exported to major powers around the world, and are a key weapon in many international hotspots and in recent wars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Russian S-300 and S-400 Missile Systems\u003c\/em\u003e, professional missile systems analyst Steven J. Zaloga uses his specialist knowledge to assess and analyse them in detail. He explains that the S-300 is, in fact, three systems: the S-300P, designed as a replacement for older Soviet strategic SAM systems, the S-300V, developed to defend against Pershing ballistic missiles, and the S-300F, designed for ship defense. He also considers the supplementary S-350 system and the new-generation S-400 system, deployed in Syria and sold to both China and Turkey. An assessment of the latest S-500 system, designed to counter ballistic missiles and hypersonic cruise missiles, is also provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePacked with detailed colour artwork and new photos, this book explains the considerable evolution of the S-300 family, perhaps the world’s most famous strategic SAM, over the last three decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850379514092,"sku":"9781472853769","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10675213482712.jpg?v=1759085735","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-russian-s-300-and-s-400-missile-systems-by-steven-j-zaloga-9781472853769","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
