Russian defence officials have denied reports over the weekend of 23-24 March by China's Central Television (CCTV) of a major arms deal between the two countries.
According to CCTV, Beijing and Moscow signed two major arms export contracts during President Xi Jinping's first foreign visit as the Chinese Communist Party chief and titular head of state.
CCTV and others reported that the deals signed were for "24 Sukhoi Su-35 fighters and four Lada-class submarines" and heralded the development as "the first major weapons sale in 10 years between the two nations".
On 25 March the press office for the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSVTS) responded by stating that "no agreements on the delivery of either Russian weapon systems or military technology to China were signed. Questions on the issue of military technology between Russia and China during the visit of People's Republic of China [PRC] Chairman Xi Jinping to Moscow were not even raised," said a FSVTS spokesman.
CCTV coverage stated that there had been additional agreements on Russian and Chinese co-operation for the Almaz-Antei S-400 air defence system, the Saturn/Lyulka 117S jet engine, and the Ilyushin Il-476 airlifter and Il-78 aerial tanker aircraft.
