Reference News Network April 12 Japanese media reported citing Russian media reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved in principle to sell to China, Russia's most advanced anti-aircraft missile system.

  Japan's "diplomatic scholar" magazine website on April 11 quoted a Russian commercial television reported that Putin has approved the sale to China of two to four sets of S-400 air defense missile system. The deal is already in negotiations among, if approved, would allow China to become the first foreign customers this advanced defense systems. At present, China has deployed many Soviet-era S-300 defense system.

  Reported that although Russia had been negotiating in this regard, but some observers believe that Russia will eventually refused to China for a number of reasons to sell S-400 missile systems.

Range of the missile system is 400 km, experts believe that this way, the Beijing over the Taiwan Strait gained air superiority.
