IAF suffered heavy loses in 1973 war. Thats why Israel invested a lot in developing new SEAD methods. Prime method were battlefield UAVs, TV guided missiles and decoys. Thats how IAF took out the Syrian aid defences in 1982:t is equipped with 650 static SA-2, SA-3 and SA-5 launchers, 200 mobile SA-6 and SA-11 launchers and over 4,000 anti-aircraft guns ranging from 23mm to 100mm in caliber. There are also two independent SA-8 and SA-10 SAM Regiments, each with four batteries of 48 mobile SAMs.
The Syrian early warning system comprises Long Track; P-12 Spoon Rest; P-14 Tall King; H-15 Flat Face; P-30 Big Mesh; P-35 Bar Lock; P-80; PRV-13; PRV-16 Thin Skin mobile and static radar sites throughout Syria.
I always wondered, how Israel have been able strike Syrian targets with ease.... Also I wonder if Turkey has similar capabilities as IAF ?

On paper TuAF has very similar capabilities, they even have Harpy anti radiation drones. But there is also experience factor.
