S-400 SAM System Exports

They do need to export the export model to Turkey because sensitive electronics and components could be investigated by the US and so on if Turkey allowed them (They are part of NATO after all) and that alone has people cautious. So yes, they will end up with the export model. Like China and India would. Reason is, why give your specifics away?

Russians already working on S-500. Don't They? When the S-500 enters the inventory of the Russian Army, S-400 will become an old system, just like the S-300. Turkey can't use the S-400 system as well as Russia. Maybe Russia can make a limitation by selling only 9M96E type missiles to Turkey.

Obviously, I don't care too much about It's an export model or not. Turkey needs a air defense system, which is better than the MIM-23 Hawk.

S-500 isn't a replacement for the S-400. It is an all new system for a different task, intercepting missiles and satelites while it can also intercept fighters but that's not its main task. S-400 also can intercept ballistic missile but if they have too they use S-500.

S-300 is widdly used in Russia. They just finished to upgrade them if I'm not wrong. It's not old at all. Last versions are very close to S-400 (which is a S-300 PMU3 actually).

Evrything in the system will be downgraded export model, including missiles. Even if they give the 48N6 family it will be an export model. It is not probable that they give them just 9M96 because the system is build for very long range missiles.

US can find a corrupted Indian soldier to give them informations about S-400 easily I think. Russia knows that and is aware of what they can give and what they should keep for them. The thing is also that those systems are very big and immune to fighter jamming systems and can destroy dedicated EW jets by passive triangulation, so even if they analyse it they won't be able to exploit this in a real scenario. It's not an old Osa.

Its radar are so big you would need a boing 747 with lot of electric power to jam it. Don't expect fighter ECM pod to do something.

This is really good news for Almaz

PAKISTAN TO PURCHASE S- 400 FROM RUSSIA

MOSCOW, October 9. /TASS/. Russia and Saudi Arabia have agreed to supply anti-aircraft missile systems s-400. This was reported by TASS in the press service of the Federal service for military-technical cooperation.

"We confirm that with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reached an agreement on deliveries of air defense systems s-400, anti-tank missile complexes "Kornet-EM", systems TOS-1A, automatic grenade launcher systems AGS-30, Kalashnikov AK-103", - said the press service.

The interest of Riyadh in the purchase of s-400 earlier reported, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.

I'd treat that with a very large pinch of salt. Saudi is half way through negotiations for $15B of US SAMs. Also they have a history of talking deals up. Anyway since when have contracts for that number of products been set up over a few days?

Exports of Russia’s S-400 missile systems

Currently, the S-400 systems are in service only in Russia

TASS-FACTBOX. On Monday, the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation announced that Russia and Saudi Arabia reached agreements on the supplies of S-400 missile systems to Riyadh.

Currently, the S-400 systems are in service only in Russia. As of Monday, the contracts on the supplies of S-400 Triumf systems (NATO reporting name: SA-21 Growler) have been signed with four countries, including Saudi Arabia.

China

In July 2014, then-Kremlin chief of staff, Sergey Ivanov, told reporters that China could become the first foreign customer of the S-400. Shortly after, Russia’s Zvezda TV channel reported about China’s plans to buy at least six S-400 divisions worth more than $3 bln. On November 26, 2014, Vedomosti business daily reported, citing sources close to the Russian Defense Ministry, that Moscow signed a contract to supply the S-400 to China. On October 27, 2015, Director General of Rosoboronexport, Russia’s arms exporter, Anatoly Isaykin told reporters that it would supply the S-400 to China "within the timeframe set by the contract." Neither the sum of the deal nor the exact date was announced.

In November 2015, Russia`s Presidential Aide for Military-Technical Cooperation Vladimir Kozhin confirmed to journalists that the contract had been signed. In March 2016, Director General of the Rostec state corporation Sergey Chemezov said China had made an advance payment for the supplies of these missile systems. In June, he said the Chinese army would obtain these systems not earlier than 2018. On April 26, 2017, the press service of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation confirmed that the contract started being implemented.

India

On October 15, 2016, after talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the BRICS summit in Goa an agreement on S-400 supplies to India was signed. Neither the sum nor other details of the deal were unveiled. Earlier, Indian mass media reported about the country’s plans to buy five S-400 divisions.

Turkey

In November 2016, the talks between Turkey and Russia on the S-400 came to light. In March 2017, Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov told reporters that the Turkish side expressed its wish to get a Russian loan on purchasing armaments, including the S-400.

On July 25, 2017, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that "certain documents" as part of a deal on buying Russia’s S-400 were signed. The Russian side confirmed on September 12, 2017 that the contract was inked. President Erdogan said that Ankara had made an advance payment under the contract.

Turkey became the first NATO member-state purchasing Russia’s S-400. Russian Presidential Aide Kozhin stressed that giving to Turkey production technologies for S-400 systems was out of question. No details on the number of divisions were provided.

According to Kommersant business daily, Turkey paid more than $2 bln to buy four S-400 divisions. Turkish Undersecretary for Defense Industry Ismail Demir later said the delivery of S-400 systems would begin within two years.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told the Aksam daily in an interview on Monday that Ankara could give up plans to buy the S-400 if no agreement on joint Russian-Turkish production of this system was reached.

Russia’s Defense Ministry representatives earlier said the S-400 could be exported to Belarus and Kazakhstan. No such supplies have been officially reported.

On August 28, 2017, the head of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, Dmitry Shugayev, told Kommersant that about a dozen of bids to buy the S-400 were being considered.

In September, Russian Presidential Aide for Military-Technical Cooperation Vladimir Kozhin said in an interview with TASS that there was a waiting list of likely buyers eager to have this system. According to the official, countries of Southeast Asia, the Middle East and some member-states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) showed interest in the S-400.

India will purchase five regiments of Russian S-400 Triumf Air Defence Missile System (ADMS) valued at over six billion dollars. The contract is slated to be signed after two months in December in New Delhi as the Contract-Negotiation-Committee (CNC) comprising Russian and Indian officials, which has been working furtively since July, has wrapped up its work. The Union finance ministry has cleared the purchase and the file is with the Prime Minister’s Office.

It will be a government-to-government purchase with no provision for transfer of technology. Russia has assured that the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) — Almay-Antey Air Defence Corporation — will deal directly with the user, the Indian Air Force, to ensure timely product support. At present, all product support including spares and overhaul is done through Rosoboronexport, which is the official Russian export agency for arms sales.

Since India hopes for an early delivery of S-400, it has not considered Moscow’s offer of credit line for the purchase. Instead, cash will be given in tranches. The first, or perhaps two regiments, could be delivered by early 2020.

Each S-400 regiment comprises two batteries with four launchers each; this makes a total of 40 launchers for five regiments. Interestingly, India has ordered a total of 1,200 missiles in the very long-range and long-range category, with none in the medium and short ranges category. There will be fewer very-long range category missiles as compared with the other category.

........................................................

There is a queue for purchase of S-400; while priority goes to the Russian armed forces — which have been inducting the system since 2008 —, China and Turkey have already paid for the purchase. China has sought just one regiment of S-400, perhaps to cover its Taiwan flank. Moreover, there are reports that Algeria too have paid for two regiments of S-400. According to Russian officials, Saudi King Salman, who was recently in Russia on the trip with deep geo-political significance, spoke with the Russian President for an early purchase of S-400.

“Potential buyers include Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Egypt. Everyone who experiences a threat to own security posed by terrorist groups and NATO member states,” the senior lawmaker said.

looks very much like the yanks are sh!ting their breeks basically saying every country that buys the S-400 reduces itself of being attacked by Murica

the arrogance of America is breath taking ... who do they think they are to tell Russia who they can sell weapons to, Russia should tell America to mind their own business

Lets be honest here... the lawmaker should not have said "groups and"... these powerful missiles would make no difference to terrorist groups... these missiles are intended:

“Potential buyers include Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Egypt. Everyone who experiences a threat to own security posed by terrorist NATO member states,” the senior lawmaker said.

And from a country that gave Afghan groups Stingers should not tell Russia who it can or cannot sell S-400s to.

The US bends over backwards to keep Russia out of markets it dominates... why would Russia not look elsewhere for places to sell their products.

exactly in saying that i only saw the story in foreign sites after i posted the article ... that said the US has threatened to hit countries that have bought Russian made military hardware with fines or sanctions that has past the congress and is now law

The Washington Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) has published an interesting infographic about the efforts of "US security partners" to acquire Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems for their armed forces.

Seem to be buying THAAD instead.

Russia recently admitted that Saudi Arabia is no longer interested in the S-400

This nullifies the October 2017 S-400 deal signed during King Salman's visit to Moscow
