S-400 is known as Russia's most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile defence system. It is an air defence missile system that can take down enemy aircrafts from the surface. The missile is designed to counter a variety of threats from hypersonic cruise missiles to UAVs, airborne early warning aircraft, stealth fighters and even precision guided munitions - AFP

China was the first foreign buyer to seal a government-to-government deal with Russia in 2014 to procure the lethal missile system and Moscow has already started delivery of an undisclosed number of the S-400 missile systems to Beijing. - PTI
