"Due to Israeli attacks on Syria, Turkey may doubt the effectiveness of the S-400" - Israeli observer

New materials appear in the Western and Middle Eastern press regarding Russian weapons stationed in Syria. Moreover, the materials are largely provocative.

So, on the Breaking Defense website, a Tel Aviv-based columnist Ari Egotsi (ARIE EGOZI) issued material stating that Israeli air strikes on Syria "could be the main reason for the growing discord between Russia and Turkey." The author claims that by observing "inactive S-400 air defense systems, Turkey believes that these systems may actually not be as effective as previously thought."

Further, an article by an Israeli author for a Western military-themed resource states that "claims to Russian anti-aircraft missile systems have arisen before." Quote from the article:

The first signs of dissatisfaction with Russian air defense systems appeared on May 1, when an article was published on the Syria Direct website that described how a Syrian military source criticized the S-300 air defense systems supplied by Russia. The source pointed out the repeated failures of the Russian systems for protecting objects in Syria from Israeli attacks. The comments of a Syrian military official were the first clear sign of a big dispute between Moscow and Ankara over the operational effectiveness of air defense systems.

These statements attract attention at once for several reasons. The first reason: to date, there have been no official reports that the S-300 air defense systems were used in Syria during Israeli air raids. And therefore, all statements about “criticism” from a certain “anonymous” source look like fabrications that have nothing to do with reality. The second reason: where does the S-400 in general, and what is their connection with the Israeli air strikes on Syrian territory? Russia initially pointed out that the S-400 Triumph air defense systems in Syria are put on combat duty solely to protect the Khmeimim air base. And therefore Russia did not use the S-400 complexes and is not going to use it against aviation, which does not threaten the airbase with its actions.

It is for these reasons that the allegations that Turkey is allegedly beginning to doubt the effectiveness of Russian air defense systems appear provocative. With these statements, Mr. Ari Egoci is clearly trying to pour water on the American mill - in the sense that it is the United States that is trying to "dissuade" Turkey from acquiring and deploying S-400 air defense systems. Yes, and Israel itself is among the same "interest", given its, to put it mildly, difficult relationship with Ankara.

[aszzz888]

Author declares that, observing "inactive S-400 air defense systems, Turkey believes that these systems may actually not be as effective as previously thought."

And what, this "author" is eager to test the effectiveness of the S-400? Or another throw from there?

[Sky strike fighter]

The author is a madman or a provocateur. The S-400 are armed with the group of troops of the Russian Federation in Khmeimim and to protect this particular air base. Syrian objects cover the air defense systems that are armed with Syria. In April 2018, the Kyrgyz Republic did not take part in the reflection of the Kyrgyz attack on Syria. , since no one attacked Khmeimim directly. The idea is that the Syrians are actually covering Iran’s proxies. So why drag the Russian S-400 here? Another speculation. The article is about nothing.

[Interlocutor]

So why drag in the Russian S-400 here? Another speculation. The article is about nothing.

Definitely right

[Samaritan]

Moreover, the morning news: Turkey announced the agreement in principle to purchase a second set of S-400.
https://topwar.ru/171999-v-turcii-soobschili-o-principialnom-soglasii-na-pokupku-vtorogo-komplekta-s-400.html

[Aaron Zawi]

Where do you find these sites?

[saylor1971]

And how does the S-400 staff know that the strike is not for Khmeimim? Or there is a special TF line between Israel and Russia (air base). Then it is not clear why the personnel of the Russian Federation are there if they destroy, including the objects of its ally. In addition, Turkish aviation can strike at Syrian forces as well - then what? do not shoot? So what are the tasks of the long-range S-400, if in time close to real, it cannot (taking into account the possible maneuvering of the Kyrgyz Republic) determine where these Kyrgyz Republics are directed (according to Khmeimim, the headquarters of the Syrian Army, the object of critical infrastructure of Syria, objects of the Iranian contingent, etc. d.)?

And therefore they do not want these air defense systems (S-400) to be in service with Turkey, and they publish such articles as if to dissuade Turkey from buying the S-400. This is completely useless. Turkey is not controlled and can create problems for them in the region.

Saudi Arabia decided to purchase South Korean counterparts of the Russian S-350 systems, which Almaz-Antey Corporation had previously manufactured for Seoul “due to confusion, vacillation and lack of money” in the 90s in Russia.

“KM-SAM uses one rocket for all cases. Its advantages include a large overload capacity - up to 50 g. The speed of intercepted targets can reach 1000 m / s, that is, almost 3 M. This is more than enough for the situation in which Riyadh found itself. When there was confusion and vacillations in Russia, as well as a lack of money, in the 90s, Almaz-Antey and the Fakel missile design bureau were involved in the creation of a medium-range air defense system for South Korea, ”the Free Press publication reports. .

How effective the analogue of the Russian S-350 air defense system will turn out to be is still unknown, but experts say that the rejection of the purchase of Russian air defense systems by Riyadh was quite expected, since Saudi Arabia is under excessive pressure from the United States.

Well, Israel can destroy any equipment, now that in all these techniques to doubt and not to buy or what?
For example, Israel and the Shell destroyed, but for some reason the customers who bought the shell after that did not doubt it. (Although there may have been no alternatives .. but still bought the same.) The headline is killing, straight yellow-yellow journalism, at least attack minus.)

[Oleg kubanoid]

your statement is very controversial ... because it is entirely possible to destroy any air defense system .. without real data on the number of aircraft that actually participated in the attack on the air defense system it is a waste of time ..

[1976AG]

Destroy the Shell in a non-combat state does not need much intelligence, let it try to attack ours in Khmeimim, then it will be clear who is worth what.

[Oleg kubanoid]

also not right .. as I wrote, to destroy one shell a lot of mind is not needed .. having modern means of delivery and defeat .. in the Russian Federation, for example, shells always work in the division .. there is constant support for other machines .. and in Syria and in Libya, shells use incorrectly, therefore, losses ..

The big Jewish bourgeoisie, represented by its Zionist mouthpiece, Broken Defense, bitterly asserts that Russian anti-aircraft complexes cannot resist the Zionist aluminum hawks that the star-striped host is supplying them with.

The false libels of the Zionists are trying to overshadow the cloudless centuries-old friendship between the peoples of Turkey and Russia. The mercenaries of the American chistogan threw another Donald duck about the allegedly inefficiency of domestic air defense systems in protecting world peace. Meanwhile, according to anonymous sources of the Military Bulletin of Poshekhonya, the Syrian side requested from the Russian Federation ground-to-plane missiles instead of ground-to-air complexes. Reinforced by the Oedipus complex of anti-aircraft gunners SAA, they should be a formidable factor in deterring the children of the gyurza and hyena from the illegal Zionist formation, defiling the flights of their unfinished eye with any Arab falcon fu-35 monoplanes, stubbornly avoiding a fair fight with the Syrian hawks, eager for frenzied bastards. claws, peaceful Syrian sky!

This is no longer surprising. It would be okay only the Western press, but in their penises are the same. As soon as the West realized that Russia was in Syria for a long time, itching became even stronger in one place. Regarding the author’s assumptions regarding Turkey and the S-400 - with a finger to the sky. Turkey has confirmed the purchase of a second batch of complexes.

[G. Georgiev]

YES ! S-300 and S-400 are ineffective. Russia is in Syria, not to protect its base, but to protect the state of Syria. A few days ago, Israeli missiles fell 10 km from the Russian base of Hmeimim. There is no reaction. I also urge Russia to buy Chinese air defense systems for its army. Unfortunately, this is a reality.

[Sky strike fighter]

First, call on China, Turkey and India to stop buying the S-400, otherwise they won’t understand what they should buy from air defense systems without you. By the way, the Chinese are doing their air defense, copying our S-300, S-400 so you know, and we think you should buy copies of their own air defense systems from them?

S-300 and S-400 are ineffective. Russia is in Syria, not to protect its base, but to protect the state of Syria.

Unanswered Israeli airstrikes on Syria raise questions about S-400
The first signs of dissatisfaction with Russian air defense systems appeared on May 1, when an article was published on the Syria Direct website that cited what was described as a Syrian military source that criticized the S-300 air defense systems supplied by Russia.

The Russian S-400 is delivered to Turkey.

TEL AVIV. Israel’s air strikes against targets in Syria may be one of the main reasons for the growing crisis between Russia and Turkey, as they emphasize that Russian S-400 air defense systems may not be as effective as Turkey believed.

The first signs of dissatisfaction with Russian air defense systems appeared on May 1, when an article was published on the Syria Direct website that cited what was described as a Syrian military source that criticized the S-300 air defense systems supplied by Russia. The source pointed to the repeated failures of Russian systems to protect sites in Syria from Israeli attacks. The comments of an obvious Syrian military official were the first clear sign of a big dispute between Moscow and Ankara over the operational effectiveness of air defense systems.

Turkey has signed an agreement with Russia on the purchase of S-400 systems worth more than $ 1 billion. The first systems have already been delivered to Turkey, but they still do not work.

Last year, the Israeli air force hit more than 200 targets in Syria linked to Iran's efforts to modernize Hezbollah's missiles. Some of these attacks were reported to have involved Israeli F-35s. The attacks continue at a rapid pace this year, with the Syrian air defense forces firing more than 1000 air defense missiles to try to prevent repeated Israeli attacks. So far, they have given little.

The last attack was on Thursday. According to the Syrian Center for Human Rights, at least nine people have been killed, four of them Syrians and five of them are currently unknown. Reportedly, the number may increase. The Lebanese Al-Miyadin channel, located next to Hezbollah, reported that Israeli aircraft struck four targets and returned to Israel. According to the Syrian Center for Human Rights, Israeli jets attacked the Syrian regime's security factories and destroyed weapons depots.

Washington expelled Turkey from the F-35 program due to President Erdogan’s decision to close a deal with S-400. While it accepted the delivery of at least one, Turkey postponed the order for additional S-400 batteries.

And as always
WHAT A FACT IS TAKEN, FROM IT THAT WHICH IS SUITABLE AND WHAT DOES NOT LIKE IS SILENT.
And now what is left and the author "forgot" to write.
The author states that by observing "Inactive S-400 SAM“Turkey believes that these complexes may actually not be as effective as previously thought.”
But what is written in the article
AMMAN - On Friday May 1, an alleged Syrian military source criticized systems Air Defense C-300supplied by Russia as incapable of stopping Israeli airstrikes and as "backward" Middle east monitor with reference to the Russian Media Avia.pro. ,
Turkey's undersecretariat of defense industry, said Syria Direct.
“Like a long range system, series suffers from the problem of the radar horizon, which means that targets cannot be detected if they lie low due to the curvature of the Earth. Attack aircraft, such as the F-16, fly relatively close to the surface of the earth, and by the time they are discovered, they have already fired
. “There is no doubt that [Israel] uses cyber attacks and electronic countermeasures in parallel with its airstrikes,” said Egeli.
“You can always fool [air defense] systems with baits and fake targets. Syrian air defense may think that you are 50 kilometers from where you are, or launch your missiles at targets that actually never happened, ”he added.
“The last several professional officers who can be found in Syria, and then a lot of VIP sons, work in the Syrian Arab Air Defense. These are the sons of Assad's favorites or the heads of various special services. Some of them can fight, others are useless, ”Cooper explained.
Last year, the Israeli air force hit more than 200 targets in Syria linked to Iran's efforts to modernize Hezbollah's missiles. Some of these attacks were reported to have involved Israeli F-35s. This year's attacks continue at a rapid pace, when Syrian air defense forces fired more than 1000 air defense missiles to try to prevent Israel’s repeated attacks. So far they have given little.

[Zeev zeev]

As far as I remember, there is only one statement (from the official state news agency) about the combat use of S-400.
"The Syrian news agency SANA claims that for the first time during its stay in the SAR, the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system was used. According to the sources of the Syrian IA SANA, the S-400 air defense system was used by Russian military personnel to repel attacks on coastal facilities in the provinces of Latakia and Tartus In addition, it is stated that the complex was used to intercept missiles aimed at facilities in the province of Hama. "

[Cyril G ...]

There were no in Syria.
There were no corny goals for him. S-400 is not there to fight with Israel. This issue was resolved quite at the level of heads of state, and resolved as I believe.
The S-400 is there for the dog so that it wouldn’t have occurred to the little Americans to think of accidentally dumping a couple of dozens of UABs at one point, and then telling us that we’re not at all doing it ....

“Russian SAMs are incompetent”: Chinese media urge to take systems from China i wrote

But the only thing is that when we sell a small amount of air defense systems to someone, we forget that in addition to aviation, missiles, drones, this side (which has our air defense systems) is opposed by such heavy artillery as the media of our opponents (rivals, competitors) .. Even without fighting in the ranks of supporters or opponents of Khavtar, she fulfills her mission. He does everything to show the actions of our air defense systems in a negative light. And they don't care who is "at the consoles".
The result is important to them. And the result in Libya, alas, is the burned "Armor". And I think that they have thrown very serious efforts to cover this problem. We, unlike the Western media, do not carry out such "propaganda work" against their technology as they are against ours. We must pay tribute, they ate the dog on this. Where necessary "set off". where necessary "extinguish"... We sometimes act in a very straightforward manner, without a "spark".

You mentioned the opportunity to hold a "photo session" with downed Turkish drones and "shells". The idea is good. But the people of Khavtar did not think of this before, and there seems to be no one to prompt. But the "other side" is using this situation 100% ...

... And this is a thought regularly communicated not only to the electorate, but also to those who decide on procurement as a result of which will result in not our complexes buying ...

This article is just this series.
Did the Russians deliver the S-300s to the Syrians? Put.
The Russians have their own S-400s there.
Russians shot down at least one Israeli plane with these two complexes? No, not shot down.

All. The task of the article is solved. Sow a grain of doubt. Is the source anonymous? Anonymous, but you can understand this source. He does not want reprisals from the Assad regime to fall upon him.

So this article is just one of the articles in the series of so far separate articles (not yet evening). Advocacy is targeted. And believe me, it will act because even at VO there are sometimes questions, why are our S-400 there if we are not defending our ally. Questions on the resource where this problem was voiced and reviewed 1000 times.

Quote: Sniper

Israel and KSA know which SAM is the most efficient. their "Patriots" screwed up the attack of the Scuds S. Hussein and the attacks of the Houthis

If you will, I'll start from the end. The Patriots didn’t screw up the attack of Hussein’s SCAD. The death toll in those shelling 30 years ago can be counted on one hand.
The same is true for the attacks of the Houthis. We, our media, take a separate Houthi missile strike, especially one in which the Patriot or other complex could not shoot down the attacking missiles and draw far-reaching conclusions from such a raid. But in reality, the conclusions are somewhat different. I already once wrote that there is an article on the Internet "Missile War in Yemen". which describes about 200 cases of attacks by the Houthis on targets in the KSA. And how many missiles were launched and how many were shot down. The average number is 60-70% of targets shot down.
And oddly enough, the most effective air defense system is chosen. And this is essentially the American Patriot, which has been in operation for more than 30 years and has undergone several upgrades, turning from a complex capable of shooting down only aerodynamic targets (the one that opposed Hussein's missiles) to modern versions. And this is actually the most effective of the existing ones, because neither the S-300 nor the S-400 NEVER APPLIED IN BATTLE ACTION
