What type of missile defense system Russia always produce

 Russia produces a comprehensive range of missile defense systems designed to counter various aerial threats, from aircraft and cruise missiles to ballistic missiles. These systems vary in range, mobility, and capabilities. Here are some of the key types:

1. Strategic Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Systems:

 * A-135 (NATO: ABM-4 Gorgon): This is Russia's primary strategic missile defense system deployed around Moscow. It's designed to intercept incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and other ballistic missile warheads targeting the capital or its surrounding areas. It uses nuclear-armed interceptors (though there's ongoing development of non-nuclear alternatives) and is supported by a network of early-warning radars.

2. Long-Range Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) Systems with Missile Defense Capabilities:

 * S-300 Family (Various variants including S-300P, S-300V, S-300PMU-1/2, NATO: SA-10 Grumble, SA-12 Giant/Gladiator, SA-20 Gargoyle): This is a widely deployed and highly capable family of systems. While primarily designed for air defense against aircraft and cruise missiles, many S-300 variants also possess significant anti-ballistic missile capabilities, particularly against shorter-range ballistic missiles. They are mobile systems, making them highly adaptable.

 * S-400 Triumf (NATO: SA-21 Growler): Considered one of the most advanced long-range air defense systems in the world, the S-400 is an evolution of the S-300. It offers enhanced capabilities against a wider range of targets, including stealth aircraft, cruise missiles, and various ballistic missile types. It can integrate with other air defense systems like Tor and Pantsir-S.

 * S-500 Prometheus (in development): This next-generation system is designed to provide even more advanced air and missile defense. It's intended to counter hypersonic weapons, ballistic missiles (including ICBMs), cruise missiles, and even low-orbit satellites.

3. Medium and Short-Range Air Defense Systems (often with some missile defense capability against smaller, less complex threats):

 * Buk Family (NATO: SA-17 Grizzly, Buk-M3): These are medium-range air defense missile systems. While their primary role is against aircraft and cruise missiles, newer versions like the Buk-M3 have improved capabilities against tactical ballistic missiles.

 * Tor Family (NATO: SA-15 Gauntlet): A highly mobile, short-range system designed for point defense against precision-guided munitions, aircraft, helicopters, and drones. It has capabilities to intercept high-precision missiles.

 * Pantsir-S1 (NATO: SA-22 Greyhound): This is a short to medium-range ground-based air defense system that combines both missiles and anti-aircraft guns. It's effective against various aerial threats, including cruise missiles and precision-guided munitions. There's also a naval version, Pantsir-M.

Russia's missile defense strategy emphasizes a layered approach, integrating these various systems to provide comprehensive protection across different ranges and altitudes.
