Drop the S-400 decisively! UK media: After the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Iran quickly received Chinese missiles
According to British media "Middle East Eye", Iran is rebuilding its air defense system that was severely damaged in the conflict. A source said that Iran has purchased China's HQ-9 long-range air defense missile, and in exchange, Iran paid a large amount of oil, but the specific quantity is unknown.
Oriental commentary: The air defense systems in Iran were previously mainly composed of the S-300 and domestically produced "Hordad" series and "Bavar-373" air defense missile systems, which had relatively backward performance. In the actual combat between Iran and Israel, they performed poorly, allowing the Israeli Air Force to recklessly attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
After the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Iran even planned to exchange Shahid-136 for Russia's S-400, but so far the two sides have not reached an agreement on this cooperation. Moreover, the practical combat performance of Russian air defense missiles is also questionable.
This made Iran decisively give up the S-400 and choose the HQ-9 instead. Although Iran has not officially confirmed the authenticity of this news, with the buyer's review from the India-Pakistan air combat, this news has some credibility.
