S-350 Vityaz vs. PrSM: Moscow Has Old Tools to Stop America’s New Strike Weapon

Russian surface-to-air missile systems, including the S-350 Vityaz, can intercept the US Army's new Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), military air defense historian Yuri Knutov said in comments to News.ru. Russian Systems Capable of Countering PrSM Knutov noted that the United States developed the PrSM as a replacement for the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). The new missile has comparable dimensions and can be launched from the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). "Russian forces have experience intercepting ATACMS missiles. They use Buk-M, Buk-M3, as well as the S-350 Vityaz and Pantsir systems. Russia has sufficient means to defeat such targets, although these missiles do pose a certain danger,” the expert said.
