Russia’s world most advanced S-400 air defense system that is able to kill F-35 within 150 km.
According to a vice chairman of Russia’s State Duma, Russia has already delivered to China first batch of S-400 air defense missile systems.
S-400 is Russia’s best air defense system, which due to confidentiality is allowed to be sold only to countries very close to Russia. India and Turkey are queuing for purchase of the system.
This blogger’s comment: Russia has contract obligation to begin delivery of S-400 by 2018. The earlier delivery perhaps aims at helping China deal with US F-35s that are being deployed in East Asia. S-400 has a range of 150 km to hit stealth aircraft.

Tiananmen's Tremendous Achievements 
You can bet China will reverse engineer the S 400 and make an even better version.
India and Turkey will have to break their strategic relations with America before Russia is able to sell them.

Only 150km.? China should R & D and extend the range to 400km.
