According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov, the contract has been signed in the Russian national currency.

The S-400 Triumf system is a next-generation mobile air defense system, which is capable of destroying aerial targets at an extremely long range of up to 400 kilometers (almost 250 miles).
