In the future, these systems will be put on combat duty in the Kaliningrad region and ensure reliable protection of Russia's air boundaries in the west," Bobrun said.

> The S-400 Triumph missile system is designed to intercept jamming aircraft, airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, strategic and tactical aircraft, tactical and tactical-strategic ballistic missiles, medium-range ballistic missiles, hypersonic targets, and other modern and projected airborne attack weapons. The system boasts significantly broader tactical and technological capabilities compared to the S-300 in respect to its operational area, efficiency, and variety of its targets.
