These new missiles can be accomodated on the existing SAM system launchers of the S-300PMU family. The Fakel Machine Building Design Bureau developed two new missiles for Triumf, the shorter range 9M96 and the very long range 40N6. The 48N6DM is a variant of the 48N6 from the S-300PMU-2 Favorit matched to the S-400 to provide the mid-range (to 200 km) tier of defense. The S-400 is a three-tier air defense system: 9M96, 48N6, and 40N6. Petersburg Design Bureau of Special Machine Building and other enterprises.
The system was developed through the cooperation of the Almaz Central Design Bureau, Fakel Machine Building Design Bureau, Novosibirsk Scientific Research Institute of Instruments, St. The Russian Air Force is studying a reduction in the number of types of air defense weapons, and it is possible that Triumf will become the only system being developed, providing defense both in the close-range and mid-range as well long-range zones. The Triumf system includes radars capable of detecting low-signature targets. Major differences between the PMU-2 and the S-400 include a larger number of targets it can track and improved electronic counter-countermeasures. The Triumf S-400, initially known as the S-300PMU3, is a new generation of air defense and theater anti-missile weapon developed by the Almaz Central Design Bureau as an evolution of the S-300PMU family. But the S-400 encompasses three entirely unrelated missiles, only two of which are genuinely new, and the most widely publicized of the new missiles may never see operational deployment. Until recently, each Russian designator had a direct and unique Western counterpart, and vice versa. The S-400 program has apparently severed the historically close walk-across between Russian and Western designation systems. The S-400 program has evidently been under development since the 1980s, and has apparently undergone considerable evolution over time, resulting in considerable confusion in the public record on even the most basic facts associated with the program. The S-400 was developed in response to President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as Star Wars. The S-400 has the ability to not only shoot down airplanes, but also ballistic missiles. The S-400, manufactured by Almaz-Antey, is capable of targeting up to 36 airplanes at a range of 150 kilometers. The S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) air defense system is expected to form the cornerstone of Russia's theater air and missile defenses by 2020. The S-400 is a new generation system of medium and long-range air defense, capable of destroying all modern air weaponry, including tactical and strategic airplanes, ballistic missiles and hypersonic targets.
