The People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has conducted “Blue Shield-2017” exercise with Russian-made S-300 surface-to-air missile systems in the desert area of the northwest China in early April, 2017. The “Blue Shield” exercise is one of the four key training brands of the PLA Air Force, along with “Red Sword”, “Golden Helmet” and “Golden Dart”.
The crews of Chinese S-300PMU1 and S-300PMU2 air defense systems shot down simulated target launched by an imaginary enemy during an air defense drill in the desert area of the northwest China.
