Russia’s Eastern Military District took delivery of a “regimental” set of S-400 Triumph air defense missile systems,
the Defense Ministry said on Saturday. Russia currently has four S-400 regiments - two in the Moscow region, one in the
Baltic Fleet and one in the Eastern Military District. By 2020, Russia is to have 28 S-400 regiments, each comprised of two
battalions, mainly in maritime and border areas.

The S-400 Triumph long- to medium-range surface-to-air missile system can effectively engage any aerial target, including
aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise and ballistic missiles at up to 400 kilometers and an altitude of up to 30
kilometers. The Russian Defense Ministry has said there are no plans so far to export the S-400, which will be produced
only for the Russian Armed Forces.
