Russian anti-aircraft missiles can detect and hit US stealth bombers, Major
General Sergei Babakov said, according to Gazeta.ru.

Neither the Northdrop B-2 Spirit Stealth bomber nor Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk
can fly undetected from Russian missiles, said Babakov, the head of Russia’s
anti-aircraft missile troops.

“The American ‘stealth’ planes are a publicity stunt. Even our older R-118s
are capable of detecting F-117 [Nighthawks]. So, nobody has the hat of
invisibility yet,” the Major General said.

Babakov also added that official trials of extended range missiles for
advanced S-400 Triumf air defense systems are in the final stage.

The S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) is a next-generation Russian anti-aircraft
weapon system, carrying three different types of missiles capable of
destroying aerial targets at short-to-extremely long range.

Russia is currently undergoing a $325-billion rearmament program for a
70-percent modernization in its military’s weaponry by 2020.
