S300 to be delivered to SAA in 2 weeks

Syrian air defence is quite capable. The approach of Israeli plane nowadays into Syria seems to confirm such suspicious. The IDF no longer fly from Golan.

What IDF does nowadays is to fly from Mediterranean (SAA cannot deploy any battery at the sea for now).
quite capable at shooting down friendly aircrafts

In my opinion, the downing Russian aircraft could be a result of friendly fire.

But Russia quickly use this as a pretext to ship in S300. Now the loser is Israel.
 
They are getting S300PMU2. The same version Iran got. It is very advanced. Uses the same radars S-400 (formerly called S300PMU3) uses.

How do you know that Syria will be getting PMU-2 version?it's just stated S-300 system not S-300PMU-2
 
There are no early versions in Russia. All S300 in Russia is S300PMU2 standard which is 1990s system.
Possibly Syria only got S-300PS or S-300VM. PS is used to be use by Belarus and East German meanwhile S-300VM is now being used by Egypt not all Russian S-300 is PMU-2 version maye

As if Russia couldn't sell the S-300 to Syria without 15 of their men dying.

Who told you Israrl doesn't bomb from the Golan anymore? Every time we bomb Damascus we bomb it from the Golan, but a shore target such as Latkia will obviously be bombed from from the sea.
 
I would not wonder if russia will give they keys for isreal to shut them down.. or they shut them down if isreali air planes will come to visit assad army.. both would work to protect russian air planes over syria..

why not S-400 ?

US and ISrael would be pissed off :)
 
why not S-400 ?

There were multiple reasons, most having to do with this:

He proceeded to say that Moscow had halted the delivery of S-300s to Damascus back in 2013 at Israel's request, but the situation around the delivery has changed "through no fault of Russia."

S-300s are the first to arrive in Syria.

Hopefully things will change in Moscow.
