Now this picture of the KH-31 AD in your picture, clearly have a longer fuselage, note the 2 sets of stabilizer are much further away from each other than a non-D variant of KH-31 due to stretch of the fuselage.

This is non D-Variant.

Now these are the D-Variant, ones have longer range.

Now you tell me what's on Vietnamese Su-30 LOL

 

[BoQ77]

You posted KH-31AD variant

 

[sicsheep]

You posted KH-31AD variant

The picture in your post #87 was AD variant too, this is from the same air show just from another angle. LOL

like I said, D variant have longer fuselage. you should stop embarrassing yourself.

 

[sicsheep]

You are wrong. The picture in post #87 is PD variant,
Look at it again.

I'm surprised that you confused between PD and AD variant.

OK, why don't you post a picture of PD variant from the side, and post its source.

 

[BoQ77]

OK, why don't you post a picture of PD variant from the side, and post its source.

Why you think Vietnam can't have KH-31PD ?

 

[sicsheep]

Why you think Vietnam can't have KH-31PD ?

длина ракета means Missile Length, now please read it....

I am not saying Vietnam can't or can have it, just that there is no evidence of it.

China Becomes First Foreign Buyer of S-400 as Moscow and Beijing Team Up Against US Encroachment

Russia is selling China its most advanced air defense system. Could this be a signal of growing military ties between the two economic partners?

Russia has confrimed that it has received advance payment from China for S-400 systems. As TASS reports:

The deliveries of S-400 air defense systems to China under this contract may begin in the first quarter of 2017, Chemezov said.

A source in the system of Russia’s military and technical cooperation earlier told TASS that Beijing would receive the first S-400 antiaircraft missile systems no sooner than in twelve or eighteen months.

China’s deal to purchase S-400 Triumf systems was officially announced in the spring of 2015. Russia’s state arms seller Rosoboronexport Head Anatoly Isaikin didn’t disclose at the time the details of the contract, the number of S-400 systems that would be purchased by China or the timeframe of the deliveries.

According to media reports, the deal involves no less than six S-400 battalions worth a total of $3 billion.

The S-400 Triumf is the most advanced Russian medium- and long-range antiaircraft missile system that went into service in 2007.

As many as 16 regiments of the Russian Army are expected to be armed with S-400 systems by the end of 2016.

China has become the first foreign customer of S-400 antiaircraft missile systems.

The fact that China is the first nation to purchase the S-400 (remember, Iran purchased the S-300, and the systems haven't even been delivered yet) indicates that Moscow sees Beijing as a long-term political and military partner. Indeed, while the extent of Russia's "alliance" with China has been somewhat overstated, it seems that the growing economic ties between the two nations have facilitated closer military cooperation as well.

And we're already seeing how China and Russia are working together to protect their mutual security interests:

The foreign ministers of China and Russia are opposing the possible deployment of an advanced American missile-defense system in South Korea.

Amid escalating tensions over North Korea's nuclear arsenal, Washington and Seoul last week began formal talks on deploying the sophisticated THAAD system.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told a news conference Friday after meeting with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov that putting the system in South Korea would "inflict direct harm to the strategic security interests of China and Russia."

And as the US continues to provoke China in the South China Sea, we expect further cooperation between Russia and China on political and military matters. Common economic and security interests have driven China and Russia together -- and Beijing's purchase of the S-400 is a perfect example.

How's that US "pivot to Asia" working out?

it's a win-win deal for both countries: Russia get money, China need more upgraded military equipment. It's become a necessity that China and Russia to cooperate on defense technology if both want to catch up US. One of the reason that US is more advance in military is due to the fact it cooperate with EU and Japan to exchange technology, share the burden of the development cost. If Russia and China work solo, both will advance in turtle speed and will always lag behind US.

The relations are just improving further. It seems, China has become Russia's largest oil customer replacing Germany just as Russia became China's largest energy partner, replacing Saudi Arabia.

Thanks in part to the US, China-Russia partnership has only been elevated in recent years.

Russia started production of anti-aircraft missile systems (AAMS) S-400 for China.

This was announced on Tuesday, February 14 Director of International Cooperation and Regional Policy "Rostec" Victor treasure, who heads the Russian delegation at the India opened the exhibition "Aero India 2017".

The fact that China has signed a contract for the purchase of S-400 systems, was officially announced in April 2015. The composition of the cash transaction and its amount is not disclosed. Treasure also reported that the C-400 in the Russian Federation intend to buy a few countries. "I wish a lot. A number of countries have expressed a desire.

Rostec State Corporation Director for International Cooperation Victor Kladov says that production of the S-400 Triumf anti-aircraft systems slated for China is already underway. Speaking to Radio Sputnik, military expert Oleg Ponomorenko explained why the cutting-edge missile systems will be a game changer for the Chinese military.

On Tuesday, speaking to reporters at the Aero India 2017 international exhibition in Bengaluru, Kladov confirmed that the China-bound S-400 missile systems are currently in the manufacturing stage. "Right now, there is an operating contract signed with China for the supply of S-400 systems, [and] they are in the production phase," the company official said.

Kladov added that "a number of countries have expressed interest" in the Russian-made air defense system, but stressed that "production capacity is limited."


Last June, Rostec General Director Sergei Shemezov said that the S-400s slated for China would be delivered no earlier than 2018, adding that the first priority was to arm Russia's own military. China has officially confirmed the purchase of at least three regiments (six divisions) of S-400s for its air defense forces. Each division consists of eight launchers, 112 missiles, as well as the necessary command and support vehicles.

In 2015, India announced that it too would like to purchase several battalions of the mobile surface-to-air missile system along with thousands of missiles. Moscow concluded an agreement to supply the systems to India last October following a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the BRICS summit in Goa.

Russia to Hold Negotiations on S-400 Deliveries to India During Aero India 2017 - Rostec

In November, Turkey said that it too was negotiating with Moscow on the supply of S-400s, and in July, Vietnam also indicated that it was interested.

The S-400 is Russia's next-generation air defense system, capable of carrying four different types of missiles capable of destroying aerial targets at short, medium, long and very-long ranges between 40 and 400 km. The weapon is designed to be able to track and destroy all enemy air objects, including airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles flying at speeds of up to 4,800 m per second; they are also capable of targeting ground objectives.

Designed by the Almaz/Antein Air Defense Concern, and built by the Fakel Machine-Building Design Bureau, the S-400 began to be introduced into the Russian military in 2007. As of 2016, Russia had received 39 divisions, or 312 launchers.

News of China's interest in the S-400 began to circulate in 2011. In 2012, sources close to the Russian Federal Services for Military-Technical Cooperation, which regulates military-technical cooperation with other countries, said that negotiations on the purchase of one division (consisting of eight launchers) were underway. In 2014, that number was increased to four divisions. According to the latest reports, China is looking to purchase six divisions, at a total cost of $3 billion.

According to experts, the S-400's range of up to 400 km will allow Beijing to comfortably control its own airspace from attack, and to secure control over the airspace of neighboring countries and territories, including Taiwan and the Senkaku Islands, a group of islands in the East China Sea controlled by Japan but claimed by Beijing, as well.

Middle Eastern Countries Interested in Russian Arms Showcased in Syria - Rostec

Speaking to Radio Sputnik, security analyst Oleg Ponomarenko, an expert at the Moscow-based Center for Strategic Studies, explained why the delivery of S-400s to China has a number of benefits for Russia.


"In particular, this is an opportunity, with the help of a foreign partner, to carry out production and finance the development of next-generation systems," Ponomarenko said. "Also, it's a great advertisement for these weapons," he added.

"Therefore, I see only benefits here. Even the Americans…have complementary things to say about our SAM systems, and are quite right to do so, because the systems have many advantages [over their competitors]," the expert noted.

China would also benefit tremendously from acquiring the defensive weapons, Ponomarenko added. "If we consider, for example, the [security] environment around China, these systems can provide invaluable assistance in the event of any conflict, both with potential overseas aggressors, and regional ones."

Pointing to the S-400's technical characteristics, the expert pointed out that the system can work not only with its own missiles, "but can interface with other surface-to-air missile systems, which carry out defense nearer to the inner limit of detection."

Accordingly, Ponomarenko noted that "this system can very well change the balance of forces in the theater of military operations. Its technical characteristics, detection range and targeting range will not allow enemy aircraft to even approach the area of combat operations."
