Russia is a stable and trustworthy ally.

you mean the NSA/CIA/FBI could hack and steal under false flag opschina could hack and steal the information of s 400 why buy it?
thats why all world complain about china hacks
As far, the missile 40N6 with 400km range is not available .S-400 is design for land, if China integrate S-400 into Zubr as my previous thread, it will have a devastating range and the speed and mobility will make it as sea interceptor.

China did want to purchase few of S-400, but Russia disagreed.@Brainsucker
Why didn't the Russians shoot down any Tomahawks, given their sophisticated AA equipment, in Syria?

I was going to say China should just buy one S400 and reverse engineer it. But Russia probably knows this already and told China they have to spend a certain amount of $ if they want this system so China was forced to buy a couple of these air-defense systems.
The Russian were given advance notice to evacuate the area. All the equipment and fighters were moved. 59 tomahawk were sent but only 23 hit their intended target. Within 24 hrs the Syrian fighters were taken off from the same "damaged" runway.With only 4 missiles / vehicle that the S-400 has, I don't think that it's enough for the country who operate it to repel the enemy strike with Tomahawk. Just like what the USN showed us recently in Syria that they can launched 50 tomahawk in one air-strike mission to Syria, you will require a lot of this type of anti air missiles to protect your strategic area from the enemy attack.
The problem is, how many vehicles that you will need to cover your entire sky from a barrage of Tomahawk from 4 or 5 Arleigh Burke Destroyer? It is easier to protect the entire air space with several destroyer at the sea, because these destroyers can carry more anti air missiles than any mobile land element can do. But it means you have to ensure that the enemy can't control your near sea territory from the beginning. But that means that the enemy won't launch Tomahawk because they can't do it.

I'm curious. Why is China buying S-400 now? It's a decade old, and will be obsolete export-wise as soon as the S-500 arrives. Is it because the HQ-9 has not been a successful copy? It has no foreign operators thus far, not even Pakistan, and this is the type of weapon they need the most.
why would you use S-400 to shoot down Tomahawks???Do I question the quality and capability of S400? No. I just mentioned the quantity. And for that www.quora.com is, thank, but no thanks. Whatever they write there is only an assumption. If you ask a question why don't the Russian intercept American's Tomahawk, then my answer is I don't know. They have their own reason. My concern is more about the quantity of missiles that the S400 battalion can carry. If a division can bring only 8 launchers, then they are not enough. As the United States can launch 50 or more Tomahawk in an attack operation. An anti missile dome will require more than a 8 missile launcher vehicles that can only bring 32 missiles.
S-400 is not obsolete . S-500 has different usage from S-400.I'm curious. Why is China buying S-400 now? It's a decade old, and will be obsolete export-wise as soon as the S-500 arrives.
