Secoundly it's old air defance developt in 70s IAF have huge number of wepons which can deal with s-300.

Syria has been at war for 2 years now and has stood strongz

Syria as a country cease to exist. Up to 80,000 pepole have been murders and there are milions of refugees. The country services: hospital, main-highways, schools, police station ,factorys,electricity,clean water,food, sewage have been destroyed. The damge measured in bilons of dollars. Even if bashar al-assad will prevail it will not be like before.

It is not a fact. There are still victories in the FSA sides and with the end of the embargo it can be very deadly for syria army. Even if bashar get X or Y system from russia it will not poss a threat to israel.

blah blah

Syria is a fake country anyway

all these countries were drawn up on a map by the Brits, yours included. If they survived the past few decades, they will survive these events as well. Iraq, Syria etc... are all literally figments of some Brit dude's imagination and the product of a ruler and a pencil.

Who cares what shape they are in? Even if another 80,000 die, the salafi terrorists you like so much will not win. It's not about Bashar prevailing. He can go hump a camel alongside the salafi terrorists for all I care. It's about the terrorist al quida scum not winning, and they will not.

Seems like it was not true, as I predicted :)



Russia may not deliver a hugely controversial consignment of S-300 air defense missile systems to the Syrian regime this year, two Russian newspapers reported Friday, rejecting claims the weapons had already arrived in the country.

The Vedomosti daily cited a Russian defense industry source as saying it was unclear if the weapons would be delivered to Syria this year while the Kommersant daily quoted its source as saying that delivery was only planned in the second quarter of 2014.

President Bashar al-Assad appeared to imply in an interview with Al-Manar television broadcast Thursday that Russia had already delivered some of the promised ground-to-air S-300 missile systems.

But both sources quoted by Kommersant and Vedomosti said that no delivery of the missiles had taken place yet. The contract was agreed in 2010 and according to Vedomosti is worth $1 billion.

Kommersant added that after delivery in 2014, a minimum of another six months would be needed for the training of personnel and tests before the systems were fully operational.

The source quoted by Vedomosti meanwhile said that while the Russian government is currently insisting in public that the contract will be fulfilled, this does not mean that the actual deliveries will ever take place.

No further details were given.

The widely-admired missile systems are seen by analysts as having huge military importance for Assad in the conflict against rebels as the weapons could be used to ward off Western or Israeli air strikes against regime targets.

Russia may not deliver S-300 systems to Syria this year, reports say - Alarabiya.net English | Front Page

Seems we have about a year and half by current estimates for the system to go operational, if it's ever delivered.
Of course things may change should the conference in a few days goes badly for Assad and Russia.
