OREANDA-NEWS  The Russian S-500 Prometheus anti-aircraft missile system will be able to detect the fifth-generation F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft at a great distance. The capabilities of the air defense missile system were evaluated by the Israeli Jerusalem Post.

"The source said that perhaps the S-500 has new detection capabilities that allow it to monitor F-35 stealth fighters at a distance of hundreds of kilometers," the material says.

At the same time, the source stressed that it is extremely difficult to accompany a detected inconspicuous target and aim weapons at it.
