The Yakhont/Brahmos/CX-1 class have a 660 lb warhead, yet all articles on it have a mandatory '290km MTCR compliant range'.
Yup, but I also mentioned the Russians and Chinese never really cared much for the MTCR anyway.
S-400 does check out though. The upper range of the 40N6 missile is greater then what the MTCR allows, but its warhead is lower. So it wouldn't be covered.
But it's worth noting that the missile with a 300+km range is an AWACS killer:
Sacrificing maneuverability for range, it'd have a poor time against fighter-type targets. So S-400 can have a range of greater then 300KM, but not against all types of target.
