The Diplomat: China’s S-400 Air Defense System Intercepts ‘Ballistic Target’ 250 Kilometers Away
This constitutes the first time that China tested one of its recently acquired S-400 air defense systems.
The People’s Liberation Army’s Rocket Force (PLARF) has conducts its first live fire drill of its newly acquired first regimental set of Russian-made S-400 Triumf long-range interceptor-based air defense systems (NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler), according to Russian media reports.
The test purportedly took place in November at an undisclosed location. According to the report, the S-400 air defense systems intercepted a “simulated ballistic target” around 250 kilometers (155 miles) away. According to the report, the PLARF actively used jamming equipment to test the S-400’s ability to operate in an electronic warfare environment.
None of the information above could be independently verified.

I just wonder why the person who always dismissed American ABM test as scripted will do the same for the Chinese test (He is not gone just in the weeds. ;) ).
ReplyDeleteWell, this S-400 is not a prototype and it is supposed to be working well. The test is more about the ability of the Chinese's operator than the system itself.
