TASS:
MOSCOW, July 27. /TASS/. China plans to carry out the first-time test firing of Russia’s S-400 Triumf missile defense systems in the end of July or in early August, a military and diplomatic source told TASS.
“It is planned that in late July-early August the unit of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, which underwent training in Russia, will carry out the firing against a simulated ballistic target at a Chinese firing ground,” the source said.
Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation has declined to comment on the report. China received the first batch of Russia’s S-400 Triumf missile systems last week, a military diplomatic source told TASS. After the document was signed, the systems passed into China’s ownership.
