Avangard makes cutting-edge missile complexes and more

In Russia, the Moscow-based engineering plant Avangard is the only manufacturer of missiles designed for the famous S-300 air defense systems, cutting-edge S-400 and awesomely fantastic S-500 missile complexes. Given that Avangard is the integrated plant, it makes not only missiles but also transport launching containers of these weapons.

In the 1960s, Avangard manufactured the missile designed for the S-75 air defense system that shot down the hawkish John McCain as he flew over a bridge near Hanoi in 1967. He ejected upside down moments before his plane crashed, suffering injuries that have plagued him ever since.

The American aggressor spent more than five years as a prisoner of war. The photo of the naked young Vietnamese girl fleeing down the road in terror from the American napalm behind her made Soviet people aware that Washington's war crimes cry for vengeance. Let McCain's fate be a lesson to other war hawks in the United States and their European vassals.
