The stockpiles of missiles to the Syrian C-200 SAMs are rapidly decreasing
According to Lyamin, according to open data, 1980 divisions (firing channels) of the C-8VE and 200 of the B-144E missiles were delivered to Syria in 880-s. Since each standard anti-aircraft missile division has 6 launchers, each of them has only three missiles.
“It has been three decades since deliveries, and during this time Syria could well have spent a significant part of the missiles. The C-200 missiles were launched both before the war during the exercise and in recent years on Israeli aircraft, ”he noted.
At the same time, “attacks from outside the airspace of Syria itself forced the Syrian air defense to actively use the only long-range air defense systems that they have - this is C-200BE,” the expert added.
Therefore, today, the issue of equipping the Syrian air defense with modern anti-aircraft complexes is very relevant. The emergence of new air defense missile systems will allow the Syrians, while exhausting the B-880E missile stocks, not only to preserve the capabilities of the air defense, but also to significantly increase them.
