    I think we are going to find out if Chinese Air Defenses are any better than Russian if Iran does not agree to a peace deal before too long.

    Do you mean in the sense that the CCP will start selling or donating its best stuff to Iran or that the CCP might (try to) intervene?

    What’s the typical lead-up time to deliver, install and train on this systems. Having them up and running this quickly seems to this layperson to be insanely fast.

    No idea really. Typically a normal fielding of a new military system is a least three to six months just to do training and meet training and readiness standards.

    China is trying to help itself to Ukraine's missile technology, through a father & son espionage team in Kiev. A bit of a black eye for China's "vaunted" missile technology program, if they have to steal technology from Ukraine.

    Chinese father and son arrested for spying on Ukraine’s missile programme

    They steal from everyone, just like their Soviet predecessor did. If you want to keep a certain technology out of Chinese hands, just don’t invent it.
