The Russian S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) is superior to the American THAAD anti-missile system, the Chinese portal Sina said.

"If they are really put side by side, then the S-400 will win," the author of the article is sure.

He noted that the functions of the Russian system are broader than those of the American competitor. So, the S-400 is capable of hitting not only missiles, but also aircraft of a potential enemy.

"In terms of overall functionality, the Russian S-400 is more like a universal complex. Therefore, despite the fact that a fragmentation method is used for interception at medium and long distances, which is not as powerful as the kinetic interception of the American THAAD, its advantage is that the Russian SAM is capable of multitasking," the author added.

The S-400 Triumph is a new generation long- and medium-range anti-aircraft missile system. It is designed to destroy strategic and tactical aircraft, ballistic missiles, hypersonic targets and other means of air attack.

THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) is an American anti—missile system designed to intercept medium-range missiles.

On November 14, it was reported that Russia began supplying India with S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems. In this regard, the United States expressed concern.

Also, Russia and Turkey signed a contract for the supply of four divisions of the S-400 air defense system in the amount of $2.5 billion in 2017, deliveries to the Turkish side were made in the summer-autumn of 2019. The contract included an option for another regimental set.

In August 2021, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed confidence in buying a second S-400 regiment from Russia. He noted that together with the Russian Federation, his country is taking "many other steps in the defense industry."
