Mangled references[edit]

It seems to me someone has horribly mangled the references in the article, making parts of it unreadable (and unreferenced). --46.242.13.224 (talk) 22:27, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated[edit]

The article referes to events in 2018 in future tense. For example: "According to Russian sources, the system will be deployed at points surrounding Moscow by the end of 2018." ehn (talk) 15:22, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The altitude of the A235[edit]

The article says that the missile can destroy targets up to 50 kilometres in altitude, if that is so, how come it destroyed the Kosmos 1408 which orbits around the earth at an altitude between 465 to 490 kilometres? I understand that this is a secrtive project, but some points (especially this one) should've been pretty obvious. 188.133.14.92 (talk) 06:57, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The predecessor system consisted of a short ranged terminal defence missile called 53T6 (similar to Sprint) and a larger, longer ranged missile to engage incoming ICBMs at longer ranges called 51T6 (similar to [[LIM-49 Spartan|Spartan]). While such a thing is not explained in the article, I would guess that A-235 is the same.Kylesenior (talk) 07:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this was explained in the March 25th, 2022 version of the article, but it looks like you removed 586 bytes that made the operational capabilities of the system much more logical. Can I understand why is that so? (In terms of the reason of their removal). 31.9.189.161 (talk) 12:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
