(UTV|COLOMBO) – A storm in the English Channel damaged S-400 anti-aircraft missiles that Russia was shipping to China, but now they are being replaced, Russia says.
The ship with its damaged cargo returned to Russia last March, but two other Russian ships delivered S-400s to China successfully.
The deal was reported by the Russian government website Rossiiskaya Gazeta.
China is under US sanctions for buying S-400s and other Russian arms. India and Turkey are also buying S-400s.
A Russian arms industry chief, Dmitry Shugayev, said Russia would complete the delivery of the S-400s to China by the end of 2020.
