#1 Some INDIA MIL BLOGGERS are interpreting this incident as CHINA BEING UNABLE TO "REVERSE ENGINEER" OR DETERMINE NEW RUSSIAN TECH IMPROVEMENTS TO THE S-300.

#3 trying to secure system repair manuals that apparently were not a part of the Chinese arms purchase contract.

That is an interesting tidbit. Holding back details on the internals to prevent the ChiComs from reverse engineering the whole mess? Or just wanting that lucrative maintenance contract business like when you buy a mouse pad at Best Buy?

#4 The Chinese have already reverse engineered the S-300 as the HQ-9. I guess their knowledge on how to fix them at the factory level when something breaks is lacking. It doesn't help the Chinese push to export these clones when the advice is to "buy a new one" when something breaks.
