Russia Develops Own THAAD-like

A Russian system similar to the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, designed to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles inside or outside the atmosphere during their final phase of flight, will begin trials soon. Russia has also been creating a system similar to another element of US missile shield, the GMD (Ground-based Midcourse Defense) capable to engage and destroy limited intermediate-and long-range ballistic missile threats in space. Unlike the GMD, the Russian counterpart will be mobile.
