Explanation:

The second statement is incorrect because S-400 is a surface-to-air missile as it is a ballistic missile air defence. A ballistic missile air defence cannot be surface-to-surface missile.

The S-400 Triumf, is a mobile, surface-to-air missile system (SAM) designed by Russia. It is capable of engaging aircraft, UAVs, cruise missiles, and has a terminal ballistic missile defense capability. It represents the fourth generation of long-range Russian SAMs, and the successor to the S-200 and S-300. The S-400’s mission set and capabilities are roughly comparable to the U.S. Patriot system. Unlike some Patriot interceptors today, however, the S-400 does not currently employ hit-to-kill ballistic missile defense technology.
