According to the newspaper, referring to the Syrian Defense Ministry, "February 10 air defense forces of the country had to repel a massive strike using air-launched cruise missiles, while the main targets of the Syrian anti-aircraft gunners were not airplanes, but air-to-ground missiles launched outside the country's airspace." ".
The interlocutor, however, refused to clarify how exactly the air defense system struck the F-16I Sufa fighter that had fallen on Israeli territory, but noted that during the raid "all Syrian calculations acted independently."
According to him, this could not have been achieved "without the assistance provided earlier by the Russian specialists who restored the technical readiness of the C-125, C-200 and Buk complexes, as well as retrained the Syrian military."
The February 10 incident was not the first in the last few days. This was reported to Izvestia by a source in the Syrian General Staff. The information was confirmed by the interlocutor in the Russian military department.
As representatives of the Israeli Ministry of Defense previously reported, "the situation escalated after an Iranian drone flying from Jordan was detected at around 10 a.m. on Saturday (February XNUMX)." The reconnaissance UAV was intercepted by an Apache helicopter. Israeli air force launched an air raid to destroy the control station drone. It was located in the depths of the territory of the SAR near the city of Palmyra.
In total, the Syrian air defense forces are armed with 8 C-200 air defense missile systems, which were supplied from the USSR, and around the Buk 20 complexes of various modifications. The last large batch of eight “Bukov” versions of the M2E was transferred to Damascus in 2011. In addition, in the 2013-2015 years, Russia supplied Damascus more than three dozen Pantsir ZRPK, including the last modification “C”.

Israel used cruise missiles to strike. These are very difficult targets flying at low altitudes. To intercept them, not only prepared calculations are required, but also centralization, as well as a high level of management. From 26 targets, 19 was intercepted. It turns out that the Syrian defense demonstrated effectiveness close to 0,8. And this is a very high figure
