Now the system is delivered in the assembled condition. In the course of the system’s operation by the Russian armed forces some components of S-400 Triumph have been upgraded. Thus, the system delivered to the Ministry of Defense on October 10th 2014 differs from the first systems manufactured in 2007", - the press-service noted.

S-400 Triumph air defense system manufactured by Almaz-Antey Concern is designed to protect the most important economic and military assets from air strikes, strategic, cruising, tactical and theater ballistic missiles, as well as medium-range ballistic missiles under conditions of jamming and counterfire.
