The Russian military has put into service new missiles meant for the "S-300V4" anti-ballistic system; they have a range of 400 kilometers, a representative of the Russian Defense Ministry said, adding that the new missiles will be first deployed in Russia's western regions, reports TASS/LETA.

 

The new missiles successfully passed "official tests" at the end of the last year, the official told the news agency TASS.

 

The missiles will first of all be used to arm "S-300V4" anti-ballistic missile systems in Russia's western regions, he said.

 

Mass manufacturing of the new missiles has already begun at one of the defense sector's plants, he added.

 

Russia began to use the "S-300V4" missile system last year, and it is believed to be 1.5 to 2.5 times more effective than its predecessor.
