Rosoboronexport constantly promotes S-400 Triumph air defense system in the Middle East. In contrast to western analogues, it confirmed the ability to destroy ballistic missiles in real combat, CEO of the arms trader Alexander Mikheyev told TASS at the World Defense Show 2024 in Saudi Arabia.

"S-400 is the best long-range air defense system in the world at present. Rosoboronexport constantly works to promote it in the Middle East, where partners display a high interest in the protection of their territories and important infrastructure objects against air threats," he said.

S-400 surpasses foreign analogues in some characteristics. Real combat in Ukraine confirmed that the complex can down both aerodynamic and ballistic missiles.

"The experience of the special military operation demonstrated that modern western air defense systems miss ballistic targets in practically 100% of cases," he said.
