Rosoboronexport has unveiled a new Antey-4000 export version of the S-300V4 anti-aircraft missile system. Antey-4000 air defence missile system is designed for engaging aircraft and ballistic medium-range missile. Key advantages of the “Antey-4000” complex are its high mobility and short reaction time; capability of engaging both aerodynamic targets and ballistic missiles of different types; possibility of autonomous application; opportunity to integrate the complex and its elements into air defence systems of the Customer.
It can also be employed in military formations in a range of theaters of military operations. Key advantages of the “Antey-4000” complex are its high mobility and short reaction time; capability of engaging both aerodynamic targets and ballistic missiles of different types; the possibility of autonomous application; opportunity to integrate the complex and its elements into air defense systems of the Customer (including those assembled using “Stealth” technology).
The platform is comprised of a 9A83M-2E launcher, a 9A84M-1E launcher-loader vehicle, and 9M83ME and 9M82ME surface-to-air missiles, as well as transport and launch containers. It was first presented to the public at last year’s Army-2020 International Military and Technical Forum, which was held outside of Moscow in August. The primary improvement of the Antey-4000 over the prior Antey-2500 and S-300VM systems was reported to be the enhanced engagement envelope for all targets engaged by the system.
