Discussion continues on why C-300 was “silent” in Syria
329
The Israeli publication Haaretz published a material in which it was stated that many representatives of the Israel Defense Forces were dissatisfied with the revelations of the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Israeli strikes on Syria.
Earlier in Israel, there was actually a tacit rule - not to comment on strikes. The IDF press service most often refused such comments, the government also did not spread about when, from where and for what purposes Israeli rockets were fired. But Netanyahu violated this unwritten principle, for the second time talking about strikes on Syria, and adding that Israel is also striking the Syrian army, as it "supports the Iranian attempts to gain a foothold at Israeli borders." Such an approach to Netanyahu is considered by the Israeli military to be mostly political PR in the context of those corruption scandals that are shaking the Cabinet and specifically its head.
Against this background, the discussion continues on the topic of why C-300 air defense systems supplied by Russia to Syria were "silent".
In the Russian edition of Kommersant, an article was published, which presented data on why the CAA does not use the C-300 anti-aircraft missiles delivered by Russia. The article, co-authored by Marianna Belenkaya and Alexandra Djordjevic, citing unnamed sources, states that the Syrian air defense calculations are not yet ready to use these Russian air defense systems.
With the most optimistic version of the system will be able to use from the beginning of March.
It was announced that by this time one C-300 division could be relocated to the T-4 airfield, which would cover Damascus and its international airport, which has recently been subjected to systematic Israeli missile attacks.
