MOSCOW, March 31. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia and China are negotiating possible delivery of air defense missile systems S-400 Triumf to China, but it is early to say about deadlines for launching delivery and its amount, Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Alexander Fomin told ITAR-TASS on Monday.

“Consultations still continue, I would say so. Dialogue is on,” he noted.

Fomin gave comments on several publications in the Russian media that named 2016 as a possible year to start delivery of air defence missile systems S-400 Triumf to China. Publications also noted that the two countries were negotiating supply from two to four S-400 divisions to China.
