‼️ S-500 Anti-aircraft Reach
Russia has deployed S-500 air defense systems in Crimea.
Here are some basic specifications to consider in relation to the S-500:
The S-500 has a 600km range in an anti-ballistic missile role; 500km in an air defense role.
Viewed solely in terms of its anti-aircraft capabilities:
Positioned near Sevastopol, S-500 coverage would encompass everything from Sochi to Donetsk to Dnipro to Bucharest, most of eastern Bulgaria, and all of the Black Sea.
Positioned near Brest (in western Belarus), S-500 coverage would encompass everything from Kiev, all of western Ukraine, parts of Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, most of Poland, parts of the Baltic Sea, all of Kaliningrad, and all of Lithuania.
Put simply, it could menace all aircraft in a huge swath of eastern Europe stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea
