Amid ongoing tensions and major U.S. investments in the modernisation of its nuclear arsenal, the Russian military has successfully tested a new anti-ballistic missile system meant to shoot down Western nuclear tipped strategic missiles.
The defence system was tested at the Sary-Shagan range in Kazakhstan, a facility which was established under the Soviet Union and has been leased by Russia frequently since, and hit the simulated target.
The test notably came just days after the U.S. Navy successfully tested its own missile defence system from a destroyer warship at sea, with further tests by both countries expected over the coming year.

The new missile defence system, the designation of which was not revealed, was designed to guard the country against both air and space attacks.
At the Sary-Shagan testing range (Republic of Kazakhstan), a combat crew of the air and missile defence troops of the Aerospace Forces successfully carried out a regular test launch of a new missile of the Russian missile defence system.
Russia’s most prominent defence systems with such capabilities currently under development are the S-500 and A-235, the former which was designed primarily to neutralise ballistic missiles, satellites and high value aircraft such as American E-3 AWACS jets.
The latter was designed exclusively for defence against targets in space such as ballistic missiles, and has the longest range of any surface to air missile system in the world at over 1,500km.
Russia's armed forces have reportedly tested a new anti ballistic missile system in the form of a long range surface to air missile, which comes as part of the service's efforts to strengthen its capability to intercept intercontinental range ballistic missiles from the United States and its Western allies.
It has been widely speculated to have been a test of the S-500 Prometheus long range surface to air missile system which entered early production earlier in the year 2020.
The S-500 saw a prolific and more public test in May 2018, which U.S. intelligence reported set a world record for interception range at 481km.
The S-500 has been developed primarily as an anti ballistic missile system, and unlike the S-300 and S-400 is not intended to engage enemy fighter sized aircraft - though it may retain this capability.
The missile system reportedly retains an engagement range of 600km, and is the only system in the world in production today which is capable of intercepting hypersonic targets.
As Russia’s air defence forces prepare to induct their first units of S-500 air defence systems, a hypersonic surface to air missile system which sets new records for precision, speed, altitude and range of engagement, new details have emerged regarding the platform’s specifications.
The new missile system was designed with the capability of working outside the atmosphere where aerodynamic control is impossible. The platform would field a variety of munitions designed to neutralise “ballistic missiles of all types,” and would also retain secondary anti aircraft and anti satellite capabilities.
With a 600km engagement range, the S-500’s induction will mark a significant improvement in the reach of the Russian Air Defence Forces over its predecessor the S-400 - which when deploying hypersonic missiles could strike targets up to 400km away.
The platform will thus considerably expand the aerial anti access area denial zone particularly targeting high value heavy support aircraft from the Western Bloc such as KC-135 tankers, E-3 Sentry AWACS platforms and E-8 Joint STARS command and control and surveillance aircraft.
