Israel will continue to strike targets in Syria despite Moscow’s decision to provide S-300

[UKBengali]

The big difference is that the S-200 did not have a F/F system.. it is a blind heavy missile that is thrown in the general direction of the target with some prediction of its path.. while the S-300 missiles have terminal radars of their own activated during the last phase on top of the System radars.. that will make a huge difference in interception and hits..

Not to mention that this system will be linked with the rest of the Russian radars in Syria.
When coupled with the jamming, the days of attacking Syria are well and truly over.

The point is who will be control of this system, Syrian or Russian? Russian wouldn't do anything ..

A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy—generally one involving an illegal or harmful act supposedly carried out by government or other powerful actors—without credible evidence. Conspiracy theories often produce hypotheses that contradict the prevailing understanding of history or simple facts. The term tends to be a derogatory one.[2]

Conspiracy? Easy way out....as argument..

I can't prove you right either, there is a reason why judges need evidence to accuse someone of something, otherwise he is regarded as if he didn't do it. Again, you are pathetic.

One of this day, maybe you are going meet your pathetic end...

Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Israeli procurement is the result of an agreement for the government of Israel to procure the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II for the Israeli Air Force. The first nine F-35s became operational with the Israeli Air Force in December 2017.[1]

Ok, so you have 9 F-35s, but are they operational and is your airforce confident and ready to use them in actual strikes? I think the answer is no. But your F-16s are sexy though, even though you use them for illegal and rogue operations.

Not to mention that this system will be linked with the rest of the Russian radars in Syria.
When coupled with the jamming, the days of attacking Syria are well and truly over.

The days of Israel attacking SYria are coming to an end because Israel has abused its "privilege"and has started to actually annoy(and recently damage) Russia. Nothing lasts forever.Also, its very possible western countries + Gulfies are using Israel as a proxy airforce against Assad and Iran. its time for everyone to put their dog on the leash.

Russian FM Lavrov: Delivery of S-300 to Syria regime has begun

Russia has started delivering S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to Syrian forces, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

Lavrov told a news conference at the United Nations (UN) on Friday that "the delivery started already" after a decision was reached following downing of a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft which was hit by a Syrian missile.

Moscow said Israel was culpable as the Il-20 was caught in the crossfire as four Israeli fighter jets attacked targets in northwestern Syria.

The Israeli military said that Syria's indiscriminate air defence fire was the cause of the incident.

"As President [Vladimir] Putin said, after that incident ... the measures that we will take will be devoted to ensuring 100 percent safety and security of our men," said Lavrov.

The move comes in defiance of opposition from the United States and Israel.

Will supply of S-300 to Syria harm Russia-Israel ties?
US National Security Advisor John Bolton called Moscow's decision a "major mistake".

"We think introducing the S-300s to the Syrian government would be a significant escalation by the Russians and something that we hope, if these press reports are accurate, they would reconsider," he said on Monday.

In a phone call, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Putin that "transferring advanced weapons systems into irresponsible hands will increase the dangers in the region", according to the Israeli prime minister's office.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said on Friday he hoped the missile system would help close the country's sky for Israeli warplanes.

Friendly fire
The downing of the reconnaissance plane was the worst case of friendly fire between Russia and Syria since Moscow's military intervention in the country in support of President Bashar al-Assad's forces in September 2015.

Israel has carried out about 200 air raids in the last two years, according to its officials.

Since intervening in Syria's war, Russia has generally turned a blind eye to Israeli attacks inside the country. Israel and Russia have maintained a special hotline to prevent their air forces from clashing in the skies over Syria.

Israeli military officials have previously praised its effectiveness.

A dispute between Israel and Russia could restrict Israel's ability to mount air raids inside Syria on what it considers the greatest threat to its security from the Syria conflict: the build-up of Iranian forces or Iranian-backed Hezbollah fighters.
