Opposing to what you doubt, S400 is something superior to any existing air-defence system. People generally put Barak8 on the level of S300.

The main reason India wants Barak8 is as same as Israel, she need a air-defence system to cover her own navy boat.
So, US and you agree with me, supersonic cruise missile is more suitable for anti-ship purpose. No one was putting this kind of weapon against land target. Why? it is really a waste to use such an expensive weapon to attack numerous targets on the land. Your enemy can easily build up 20, 30 fake targets around the real one.
Using $3.2m cruise missile to attack air-defence system? You can simply bankrupt your own army before they accumulated enough stock. At the mean time, Chinese cruise missile, as cheap as American Tomahawk, can attack your bases from thousands kilometres away in mass number.
Even Chinese short-range ballistic missile is cheaper than your brahmos. Both American and Chinese believe ballistic missile is more suitable for attacking enemy's headquarters, logistic centres.
That is most stupid choice: without enough number, Brahmos won't be able to clear S-300 sites. It is like using Ferrari to do taxi job, can it do the job? of course, it can. But buying thousands of Ferrari as cab in one city? No one except fools will do it
blah blah blah ..................................India procured S-300 system in August, 1995, when China sold some Medium Range Ballistic missiles to Pakistan , to deter possible missile attack on India. The systems were deployed to protect Delhi and Mumbai.
S-300 cant stop bramhos ........................ S-400 / S-500 can stop it but with Low probability .
how the hell you are comparing BARAK-8 & S-300/400 ??
both are different systems used for different purposes .
s-400 Triumph is a multi-layered system consisting of various missiles from 40-400 km rang ewhere as Barack-8 is a single layered air defense system.
At present CHINA can do NOTHING much Against Bramhos .
