A-235 Nudol
Model: A-235
A-235 is an advanced Russian ABM system designed to intercept ICBMs and satellites in low-earth orbit. It has a detection range of 4,000 km and can intercept ballistic threats from 1,500 to 3,500 km. Intended as a replacement for the A-135, it is one of the most sophisticated ABM systems in the world. А-235 является современной российской системой противоракетной обороны, предназначенной для перехвата МБР и спутников на низкой орбите. Обладает дальностью обнаружения до 4000 км.

Sources and interpretation
The description and simulation values come from the MISSILES platform catalog. Independent specification references and a factual review date have not yet been recorded for this profile. Image credits identify the image source only; they do not verify the simulation values.
