I imagine the Russians have deployed a multi layered air defence to protect their assets in Syria, with the S 400 being the biggest 'gun'S-400 is not effective vs. cruise missiles. Bug number of short range SAMs is much more effective.
Best solution is combination of AWACS, aerostat radars and SAMs with active seekers which can get guidance from the above radars.
or maybe not, if their threat perception is just crazed jihadi "rebels" and the odd Turkish F-16 then a single battery of S-400 should be enough.
