SAA already operates S-200 long range SAMs but these are kind of outdated. S-300 is newer and more capable and has phased array radars.

Russian newspaper reveals details of supplying Damascus with “S-300” anti-air systems

The “Kommersant” newspaper revealed that Russia is going to deliver the Russian-made S-300 air defense system.

The newspaper quoted Russian military sources did not disclose their names, saying that “the issue of supplying the Syrian army with” S-300 ” systems which politically-oriented has been almost resolved”

The Syrian government forces are expected to be able to support the establishment of a multi-level security system within a short period of time, protecting Damascus and Syrian military bases from possible missile strikes.

It also takes three months training for the Syrian army to use the S-300, which requires – in the initial stage – the presence of Russian military in locations where the systems will be interconnected.

The sources said that the S-300 was planned to be supplied to Syria free of charge in the framework of military and technical assistance, pointing out the possibility of supplying the Syrian army with the systems previously used by Russian military forces.

Moscow believes that the deployment of S-300 systems in Syria will contribute to stabilizing the situation there and will prevent the implementation of Israeli and US-led coalition plans to destroy civilian and military infrastructures.

No, but Damascus has been inhabited by Christians for nearly 2000 years and it was the Byzantine empire's most important city in the middle east so it has greater importance to Russia than any other Syrian city.

Yes! You have to call invader and ask if he is going to attack Christians or somebody else. If he says, for example -"Buddhists", than S-300 missles will not fly, and if "Christians" - they will.

I was King of Damascus 2000 years ago.

Rudskoi said earlier that Russia was ready to review the possibility of providing the S-300 systems to Damascus following the air strikes carried out by the United States, the United Kingdom and France.

According to Rudskoi, most of the missiles fired by the three countries were destroyed by the S-125, Osa and Kvadrat missile systems, which were designed in the Soviet Union about 40 years ago but were upgraded with the assistance of Russian experts.

"Syria’s Defense Ministry has thoroughly analyzed the outcome of the missile attack and ordered a number of changes to be made in order to improve the country’s missile defenses," the Russian general pointed out.
