Most Powerful Air Defense Systems (1990-2026) #S400 #Patriot #airdefense #military #Russia #China

In 1990, Russia had 500 air defense batteries — more than every other nation combined. Then the Soviet Union collapsed, and the world's most sophisticated missile shield fell with it.

But China was watching. While the West slashed defence budgets, Beijing quietly built the HQ-9 network, purchased Russian S-400 systems, and by 2024 surpassed Russia to become the world's largest air defense power with 370+ batteries — a fact most analysts missed.
