Wow!
Excerpts:
The S-500 is the newest incarnation of long-range air defense systems produced by Almaz-Antey, a leading Russian defense contractor. The specifications of the system remain classified, but according to defense sources and interviews with company officials it will have greatly enhanced anti-missile capabilities compared to the current S-400 SAM, thanks to new phased array target acquisition radar.

The system is expected to engage intermediate-range cruise and ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles with speeds of up to Mach 5 and intercontinental ballistic missiles during terminal phase. With new interceptors reportedly capable of reaching low earth orbit, the system may double as an anti-satellite weapon and could intercept ICBMs mid-course, according to some reports.

A weird sound happens like an electronic elephant trumpeting just before the missile fires — maybe the hatch opening?:

Poor Uncle Shomo cannot bully Russia as he wants any more. It always amazed me, even as a kid who kept up with world events, that no one noticed the Jewish honker on Uncle Sam in the classic enlistment posters: https://johndenugent.com/images/uncle-sam-us-jew-..
