[global network reporter Zhang Haichao] a source close to the Russian military recently revealed during the 2021 Dubai air show that the first S-550 strategic missile defense (ABM) system will be delivered to the Russian army in 2025. The system will use mobile launchers with hypersonic missiles.

According to the Tass News Agency on November 15, the source said: "the hardware equipment of S-550 is already under construction. It is a strategic missile defense system. The first set of S-550 will be delivered to the Russian air and space force in 2025". The delivery of this missile defense system is part of Russia's national armament plan before 2027.
The source also revealed that the original plan was to deliver it to the S-550 missile brigade. "The S-550 will use mobile launchers with hypersonic missiles", but there is no naval version of the system.
However, for the information said by the source, TASS said it had not been officially confirmed.
According to earlier reports, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu said at the meeting on November 9 that the Russian Federation is developing a new S-550 air defense system. President Putin stressed that Russian troops should be equipped with s-350, S-500 and S-550 air defense systems.
The meeting also announced that in the near future, the first batch of S-500 air defense systems will be delivered to the Russian army.
The Russian Defense Ministry said earlier that the test firing of the S-500 air defense system proved its tactical and technical characteristics and reliability.
It is reported that the S-500 is a long-range high-altitude interception system, which can hit ballistic targets within a radius of about 600 kilometers, and can also intercept aerodynamic targets (such as aircraft) and cruise missiles.
The former Soviet Union developed a highly mobile terminal air defense system called S-550 from 1981 to 1988. However, the project was later cancelled. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the prototype equipment of S-550 system was also dismantled.
At present, Russian officials have not released more details about the S-550 air defense system, and there is no information to show the connection between the new and old S-550. Russian military expert Vladislav shulikin believes that the new S-550 system is aimed at space targets. By cleaning up space, Russia will make the United States "lose" its space reconnaissance, navigation and communication systems, and the U.S. Army relies heavily on these systems, which will, of course, seriously "become blind and deaf".
