5 October 2011 Last updated at 09:20 GMT A missile launched from a Russian S300 system (image from 1992) Russian already supplies the S300 system to China A Chinese man faces a charge in Russia of attempted spying for allegedly trying to gain details of a missile system through bribery.

The man, identified as Tun Sheniyun, was arrested in Moscow on 28 October last year while working as an interpreter.

However, his arrest was kept secret from the media until now.

He allegedly sought technological and repair documentation on the Soviet-era S300 surface-to-air system.

Mr Tun is thought to have been acting on the instructions of the Chinese state security ministry, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said.

Formally, he worked as an interpreter for official delegations, it added.

There was no immediate reaction to the news from Chinese officials.

Russia has already supplied the S300 system to China, which is also licensed to manufacture it locally.

In Russia itself, the S300 has been replaced with a newer system, the S400.
