is it me or is every one else seeing a large yellow squre insted of a picture?

All I see is a S-300 radar array truck?

It is possibly the 30H6E1 radar used in PLAAF S-300 PMU1 batteries instead of being the new one associated only with Triumpf

here is the russian S400 in deployment

Russian does not have the support structure to look after their or China's S400 systems. Each missile is almost too vauable to use. In conflict if a few were launched it would take many months from the missiles to actually be replaced.

money talks , if china got a licence then they can support them themselves - theey do have the industrial capability
