Air defense system in Syria: C-300 as a response to events and its possible consequences
So, the promised continuation in the form of concrete actions. Russia will supply Syria not the newest, but rather effective C-300 air defense systems. More precisely, C-300PMU-2.
In fact, we are arming the Syrian army with defensive armaments, capable of controlling the sky, not only of Syria, but a sufficiently large part of the territory of Israel. This is the case if the complexes will be located in the Damascus area. But you can arrange them where the entire territory of the Jewish state will be controlled.
An interesting alignment, especially in light of the upcoming talks.
For a start, it is worth remembering the events of a very recent past. Start over.
The C-300 complex was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1978 year. The C-300 PMU-2 Favorite complex is younger by 20 years and was introduced in the 1997 year. Impressed by the firing range. From 3 to 200 kilometers for aerodynamic targets, from 5 to 40 kilometers for ballistic targets, from 5 to 38 kilometers for low-flying targets.
The system was offered in the export version. The structure of the C-300PMU-2 SAMs includes:
1. The command point of the control system 83М6Е2.
2. Up to 6 XRUMNXX90X6 ADMS.
3. 48H6Е2 anti-aircraft guided missiles.
4. Means of technical support, analogous to S-CNUMXPMU-300.
Agree, with all the "terribleness" of the Russian complex, for one of the leaders in the field of electronics and unmanned aviation States of the world complexes are not so dangerous. And it is possible that the numerous complexes sold by Russia to various states made it possible, if not to create an effective counteraction system, then at least begin work in this direction.
Probably worth translating. For F-35, our complex may not pose such a threat as we would like. But for F-15 and 16 - quite.
So why in Israel’s military circles today there is clearly a “big concern” about Russia’s decision? Are Israelis afraid of firing Syrian installations? It is doubtful. For all our well-known philanthropy, we are not rich enough to cover the entire territory of Syria at our expense.
Are you afraid of installing "Favorites" in the Golan Heights? So much of the heights is controlled by Israel. And there’s no war there ...
Despite Israel’s unwillingness to advertise once again its own relations with the United States and Russia, the answer is hidden there.
There is no secret that Israel is actively supported by the United States. Starting from a decent annual sum for defense and ending with blocking decisions of the UN Security Council on Israel.
But at the same time, the Jews have learned the Russian proverb about a gentle calf perfectly, Israel is able to negotiate with everyone, including with Russia. Remember the refusal of Russia to fulfill the contract for the supply of C-300 complexes to Iran and Syria. And in the case of Syria, we even returned the money already paid for the complexes. At the urgent request of Israel ...
Moreover, the Israelis even allowed themselves to blackmail Russia by launching air strikes at the locations of our complexes if they were delivered to the Syrian army.
So why is Israel so concerned with defensive air defense complexes?
Do Israelis fly so much over Syria? Or can the C-300 fire ground-to-ground missiles? Maybe Assad uses C-300 to protect Hezbollah?
Not. Everything is much simpler. In our humble opinion, the solution lies a little away from Israel.
Recall that in the region there are also coalition troops, the aircraft of which fly with absolute impunity over most regions of Syria. And here lies the answer to the actions of the Israelis. They simply fulfill the order of their patrons. Alas, you have to pay for everything. Even for the money.
Tel Aviv does not save its own pilots, but Americans and others like them. The presence of C-300 will make life difficult for them. And above all, they, the Americans, the French and other fighters against terrorism.
Actually, Israel traditionally strikes from the airspace of Lebanon. Lebanon is silent. But, in principle, everyone understands what gets away with Israel in the context of the war with Syria, in Syria, not a ride. And the so-called “world community”, outraged, naturally, by the boorish behavior of Assad, who, moreover, does not want to leave the presidency, may well suit him something like the Libyan scenario.
The main thing is to warm up the situation to a certain degree. And as for the community just will not rust. They will come running with democracy, they will arrive, they will come. On aircraft carriers.
But the jokes are jokes, but in essence, the delivery of the Favorites is the logical conclusion to the creation of an air defense system. Experts have noticed one nuance in the message of our MO. Shoigu said the following:
"The command posts of the Syrian divisions and military air defense units will be equipped with automated control systems that are supplied only to the Russian armed forces."
Just a few words, and another headache to our "allies in the fight against terrorism" is ready.
Syria’s air defense today is conditionally a serious force in view of the fact that it is equipped with a large number of really outdated Soviet-made systems.
С-125, С-200 complexes, military systems Buk, Wasp, Strela-10, Armor-С1 now complement С-300. If we consider all these systems as a single organism, then everything falls on its places. And, in principle, layered defense is drawn.
The shelling of the Syrian facilities by the 14 coalition of April of this year showed that aviation would be at least seriously battered in the event that the Syrian batteries entered the area of responsibility.
The only thing that really strains in this situation is the fanatical faith of the Syrians. Belief in Allah. Remember the sensational history with the destruction of the "shell"? Look at the time of the destruction of the installation and compare it with the time of the namaz ... Whatever happened to the new complex as well.
Also, recent events cast doubt on the proper training of the Syrian military and the presence of a normal system of coordination. Of course, this is a solvable problem, but solvable over a period of time.
The point is not something that is not one month, no matter how long. So while in Israel they can either sleep well (if the planes will not fly) or be nervous about any reason, since, in our opinion, the Syrian “specialists” are not much inferior to the Ukrainian ones.
Here it is clear that the reference goes to the events of the 2001 of the year, which once again should not be reminded of either the Russians or the Jews.
Concluding the conversation about the Russian answer, I would like to say a phrase that today turns in the language of many.
Tomorrow will show all.
It is only at first glance it seems nonsense. In fact, by saying the word “tomorrow”, we mean not only Russian-Israeli negotiations, but also many other issues of relations with neighbors, the fight against terrorism and so on ...
But it is worth talking about this separately, because there are really a lot of nuances here. And, we think, not everything will be pleasant to hear Israel.
For example, it is worth talking about the resumption of negotiations on the sale of C-300 to Iran ... And about the consequences of such a step. But - to be continued.
