Russia will start delivering C-400 systems to China no earlier than 2018 g, reports RIA News statement of the head of Rostec Sergey Chemezov.



Earlier, the agency, citing a high-ranking source, said that deliveries of C-400 air defense systems to the PRC could begin as early as this year.

"We have a rule: first we supply the armament of our army, and then we sell weapon abroad. Many customers are asked to deliver the ordered weapons to them earlier, but we immediately warn them about the dates and order ",
said the general director.

"The Chinese army will receive from Russia the C-400 system not earlier than 2018 of the year," he added.

Agency reference: S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system is designed to destroy jamming aircraft, radar detection and control aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, strategic and tactical aircraft aviation"tactical, operational-tactical ballistic missiles, medium-range ballistic missiles, hypersonic targets and other modern and promising means of air attack."

            And I hope that if NATO attacks us, it will require all or almost all of their stockpiles of strategic and tactical missiles. And when they run out of them, China and India are unlikely to wait until the US rivets new ones. And NATO understands this. I hope. Therefore, they are unlikely to attack.

            They do not know how to fight ... Their strength lies in the number of cheap labor! They have nuclear weapons, but if something happens they will be quickly "put out" by both Russia and the United States (so they balance in politics and economy ..)

      If possible, for export options, "sew" into the software of the complex a failure when tasked to shoot down Russian equipment! These systems request the belonging of "friend or foe" and after the identification of Russian equipment give a "refusal"! Rather, to give!
      But you need to "sew in" specifically, without the possibility of correction!
      And then you can sell, modestly, like the Chinese, silent about this function!

      I have a suspicion that when making a sale decision, the possibility of copying attempts was taken into account. It seems to me that the Chinese are known in the MO no less than visitors to this resource.
      Reasons are unknown to me.
      Perhaps the S-400 has some key technologies that are extremely difficult to reproduce.
      Perhaps the Chinese are approaching their own complex and their receipt of our four hundred will delay the implementation of their own project, perhaps some other considerations. But to assume that no one has ever heard anything about the Chinese in the Ministry of Defense, I will not dare.

      so the Chinese are hurrying us
      What about us? We also need to hurry, judging by the activity at the Russian western borders. First, it is necessary to rearm their air defense units on the S-400, and then sell these complexes to the eastern neighbors. And, preferably, when the supply of the latest S-500 to the troops has already begun.

        This year, 5 regiment sets will be delivered to the RF Armed Forces, all of which will be 16.

        The question is where to get so many people for air defense, our army size is not at all like in the days of the SA.

          The number is really different, but for the maintenance of C-300P and C-400 a lot of personnel are not needed for this. So there is no need to equip stationary launching and technical positions and there is no refueling of missiles with liquid fuel and oxidizing agent both on С-75 and С-200. The personnel for the operation of new equipment is available, but the equipment itself is still not enough.

    Perhaps in some ways I'm wrong:
    this is to say that Min. the defense are confident that by this time they will begin to enter the armed forces in a large volume of S-500. . . it turns out.
    And if so, China will be able to pull itself technologically up to s-400, which is not good in any case. We constantly raise them in technical terms.

      Wrong... No. C-500 is not intended to be fought by enemy aircraft. As has been written more than once, C-500 is primarily an anti-missile system for missile defense and the destruction of low-orbit satellites, with a heavy and expensive missile. The S-350 should replace the decommissioned air defense systems of the S-300PS modification, of which about half of all available anti-aircraft systems of medium and long range are in our forces. With a comparable range of destruction for C-300PS and C-350, the latter has greater fire performance and it should be significantly cheaper than C-400.

            So I'm about the same. . . all technological progress is the study of meticulous foreign technology. . . now after 2018 they will start to study this, and who knows that they will invent a new one for sale there after 2020.

                      This does not mean that you can copy the technological level. It's not for nothing that "Know-How", I know how it is patented separately. You can copy a part, the material from which it is made, but not knowing how it was made by the authors of the development, it is difficult to make a copy. A simple example from the Soviet A metal-cutting tool was created. Its serial production began at another plant and the tool did not go. They called the author and it turned out that the drawings were handed over to the plant, but there were no technological maps. And the plant began to produce a marriage. Who cares, taken from the book by B.F. Danilov "Life is a search." And marketing has not been canceled. The principle "If you want to live, be able to spin." And for some reason no one remembers gunpowder, paper, silk, porcelain and many more inventions made by the Chinese, which are used by the whole world ...

      The S-500 is not an improved 400 system, but a complex that has its own niche. And before the 18th year we don’t sell it, because by the 18th we want to have time to transfer all our specialists to a more advanced complex than the S-300 (for many of the combat-ready the deadline already suits the technical condition). You can’t blind specialists for 2 years either and by 18 we will reach the limit of reasonable sufficiency. But after this deadline, you can also beat money on it and systematically increase the number of anti-aircraft missile divisions.

          Nobody talks about 50%. But I noticed such a pattern (or how to call it a plan) that first they covered the central junction of Moscow, then the fleets as stable self-sufficient units capable of operating semi-autonomously. Now, as you debug production and improve and intensify training process, you can calmly saturate the areas secondary to our combat stability. Here the lack of modern or any complexes is not so critical.
          In addition, the threatening direction or air defense zone can be strengthened by the maneuver of divisions and fighter aircraft.
