SA-17 Russian made BUK-air defense system
In the year of 2013 Israelis reported that they have bombed military equipment which were being sent to Hezbollah and claimed about destroying of Russian made SA-17 BUK air defense missiles that were heading towards Lebanon from Syria. In late 2016-2017 other sources reported that despite Israeli claims, Hezbollah possesses SA-17 air defense systems provided by SAA.
