Perhaps after this incident Russia made a temporary noflyzone(or a halt of israeli operations after negotiating with them) and in exchange putin told Iran to not to transfer any more equipment inside Syria.
But everyone knows that if Syrian ad capability stays the same sooner or later coalition and israeli air operations will start with the excuse of past false flag chem ops, some later international agreement that Sy will reject or similar and Syria will be left alone or accept usa terms like shaping the govt, accepting pyd free zone, cutting ties with Iran etc.
So it would be stupid if Iran does not send equipment someway to Syria at least finding a middle ground.
Iran can transfer its current systems like Buk copies or similar to southern and eastern parts of Syria where Russian presence is limited so in case of an israeli aggression they wont be caught between. It wont make a big difference against israel for a while but establishing a channel by means of air transport and abuqamal pass and increasing deterrance against air attacks at least better capability to shoot down incoming cruise missiles would be an increasing deterrant.
