No, the Russian Naval base at Tantros has SA300s. They will likely upgrade to the 400 system if or when this thing gets hotter.

SA15s are not meant to protect a large navel base with some of Russia’s best naval assets transiting.

OK, but I thought you mentioned S-300’s in regards to the Syrian reactor as well. As I recall, those were Tor M-1’s.

But I believe you that the S-300 and 400/500 will be used.

I’m not yet convinced the Israelis can counter them. Dunno.
