May I know which superpower do not buy weapon from others? Even Uncle Sam buys foreign weapon like advance trainer aircraft and Russia buys mistral LHD. Don't forget to look into mirror and see your dear India doing that too

True talk. But I think he was just trying to tone down the rhetoric of some Chinese members here who made it sound like China produces all its weapons indigenously while India and even Japan rely on foreign countries for their weapons. Every country buys weapons from others, no nation is totally self sufficient not even the mighty U.S . the only difference is just how much a country imports relative to others.

The difference is that India cannot produce anything on its own. If it does, it's obsolete on arrival that their own arm forces won't induct in large numbers.

PLA to buy advanced missiles from Russia

The deployment of the Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile system will substantially improve China's air defense capability, military experts said as Russian media reported that China has bought the cutting-edge weapon.

"The S-400 is definitely one of the top anti-aircraft weapons in the world. It will greatly supplement the People's Liberation Army's air defense system, which now has some loopholes in long-range, high-altitude defense of airplanes or ballistic missiles," said Wang Ya'nan, deputy editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine.

"The system has multiple types of missiles with various ranges, enabling it to safeguard a very large area of airspace. Some of its missiles are even specifically designed to intercept ballistic missiles," Wang said. "Moreover, some of its launch tubes can store and launch several different missiles, which makes it very convenient and fast to use."

Russia has a long history of developing anti-aircraft and missile defense weapons, so the S-400 is a concentration of some of the most advanced missile technologies Russia has, such as an active electronically scanned array radar, according to Wang.

"China still lacks experience in the development of long-range air defense systems, especially those that can intercept ballistic missiles. There is no shortcut because the development of such sophisticated weapons requires a great number of experiments and tests. It is a matter of time and resource input," he added.

According to Russian media reports, the S-400 is a new-generation, anti-aircraft weapon system capable of engaging any aerial target, including airplanes, helicopters and drones, as well as cruise and tactical ballistic missiles, with a maximum speed of 4.8 km per second. The system's 40N6 missile can destroy airborne targets at ranges up to 400 km.

Anatoly Isaikin, chief executive of the Russian state-run arms trader Rosoboronexport, confirmed on Monday that China has a contract with his company for the purchase of the S-400 air defense systems.

"I will not disclose the details of the contract, but yes, China has indeed become the first buyer of this sophisticated Russian air defense system. It underlines once again the strategic level of our relations," Isaikin told the Russian newspaper Kommersant.

China clinched the deal in September at a cost of more than $3 billion for the delivery of at least six S-400 battalions, Moscow Times reported.

Currently, China relies on its domestically developed HQ-9 and the Russian-made S-300 missile system, according to Western military observers.

Du Wenlong, a senior researcher at the PLA Academy of Military Science, said the operational ranges of modern military aircraft and missiles are much longer than their predecessors, so an effective defense system must have long-range missiles that can hit aircraft as well as cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles.

"Our air force has deployed the Russian S-300 systems, which are good at dealing with aircraft, but their performance in intercepting cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles is not very satisfactory," he said. "After we commission the S-400, it can work with the HQ-9 and S-300 to form a fully covered air defense network."

Zhao Zhihua, a senior missile researcher at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, a major developer of China's missiles, said that through the introduction of the S-400, China can gain a lot of experience and expertise on how to operate a missile defense system.

"Operating such a complex system will go beyond our current knowledge and experience, which in turn will teach us things that we don't know, so it is worthy spending big money buying it," he previously told the Ordnance Industry Science and Technology magazine.

Confirmed by who?

China Daily is just reporting that Russian media is saying China bought it.

Russian media have been saying China will buy this and that for over a decade but no deal officially announced.

Until the PLA confirms it, nothing is official.

PLA word is final.

China will not buy S-400 in numbers as it has equivalent SAM's.

Boy, you are brutally honest. You are about to get swamped with our emotional Indian members on here. They don't like the reality said. They like the reality to look like the way it exists in their heads about India!

Sorry, wrong thread.

No worries bro. But still relevant. One thing I can deny is that Moscow still has some badass weapon system.
@Ceonwulf you said recently that Russia will soon be China's poodle/junior partner/puppet remember? Gues you have to first surpass the before you start claiming you re their big brother. Of anything it's still the opposite for now (especially militarily and space industry). so advice you to tone down your boasting.

But most of your countrymen defame India citing it purchases weapons from other nations.I just shown the mirror to them.

From #37 China Daily's report:

"Anatoly Isaikin, chief executive of the Russian state-run arms trader Rosoboronexport, confirmed on Monday that China has a contract with his company for the purchase of the S-400 air defense systems.

"I will not disclose the details of the contract, but yes, China has indeed become the first buyer of this sophisticated Russian air defense system. It underlines once again the strategic level of our relations," Isaikin told the Russian newspaper Kommersant." PLUS

All the above people said directly or implied that selling of S400 from Russia to China is a done deal which means a "contractually" binding deal unless you have a different interpretation of what "contract" means or there is a serious mis-statement in translation.

You can wait for the confirmation by PLA buddy but for me, the deal is solid
