I rather suspect the Russian Air Force could put up a decent fight. But that Russia/ Putin don’t want to tangle with Israel. —- because Israel has a fine defense force - and because Russia knows why Israel needs to remove serious threats like the Iranian missile Stockpiles — and because Jerusalem is just not Russia’s target or reason for being in the area. The Saudi pipeline plan is still effectively blocked now and that’s among russia’s Main objectives - this is mostly about who controls the energy markets
intergalactic travel is no problem at all!
the solution has been given us for free, for a number of years already
we don’t have to pay tons of taxes to “find” it...

oops i posted wile coyote to the wrong thread
but he does sorta fit here, ha!
Syrian Pantsir-S1 was destroyed in Al Mazzeh AB
The system was moving to reload while it was hit (the system launched all of its missiles and had to reload)
The Israeli missile hit the operating cabin directly.
Killed was Lt. Colonel Ayham Habib after he emptied all of his missiles against the incoming Israeli projectiles on Damascus./Mezzeh Airbase.
He was killed while moving his weapon to the safety point.
Also succumbing to injuries was Capt. Ali Kasser Mahmoud who spent much of the war fighting Daesh at the Kuweires Airbase.
I’m very suspicious of everything and I look at this as a win win for the Russians. If the system worked awesome! If there was a problem than figure it out. A intelligence gathering coup either way.
Who better to test your systems against than the IAF on their home turf.
Isn’t this the Russian missile system that Turkey is buying, knowing that their doing so may well put their NATO membership at risk??? Plus, that decision may also cause Turkey to lose its order of 30 F-35’s...
Not a very good trade for Turkey, in my opinion.
The reason we have all these conflicts, is to allow our client states to test our new weapons systems. That said, I support Israel 100 percent.
Bizhev said the Israeli jets had a geographic advantage in that they fired their missiles “without entering the [Syrian] air defense area.” He told RT that “they approached at low altitudes, then bounced from behind the Golan Heights, carried out the attack, and left.”
The Pantsir-S1 “requires between three to five minutes to go operational,” Bizhev said, adding that it’s exhausting for the crew to keep the system on at all times.
Pantsir S-1 missile?
Russions mispelled “Pantsuit S-1” if they were going for the honoring of Hillary naming.
I’d say operator error had a lot to do with it, plus the Russians may have sold a special, micky mouse version to the arabs.
There is a better explanation, the same as back in 2007 when those same systems also didn’t do nothing when Israel bombed that site to lots of little pieces. Russia claims those systems are immune to jamming so they will of course claim these systems were offline. But who would buy a whole bunch of advanced SAM systems to keep them switched of all the time while being at war with your neighbor? So yeah, Israel knows how to fool those systems. Israel also got an older S-300 system from Cypress and knowing their military hacking skills and intel-gathering they would know how to defeat all systems they would encounter. And no doubt, the US is helping them. so...
Big Safari says hi!
ps the S-400 is basically an updated S-300 originally named S-300PMU-3 with more marketing options as a AWACS-killer-missle that you cannot buy yet. Same thing as the the latest version of the T-72BU being renamed to T-90. I do not claim it’s junk but Russia build several radar-sites and sold Syria a lot of SAM’s and they also have their own systems out there. Even if Syrian soldiers are buffoons, why would they not warn Syria or Iran of an Israeli attack to prove their systems are worth the money since Russia uses Syria as a marketing campaign for such systems? Israel flies over them and they can do pretty much what they want. I can understand that Russia will not shoot at IDF planes, but this is bad press for them.
“Russian air defenses were beaten badly by Israeli forces in Syria on video — here are its excuses”
But, but...Russia won the popular vote.
If you look at the video from the missile there are three guy standing about 80-90 feet to the left of the truck playing pocket pool. The truck might have broken down, it could be that simple. Or, they had a heads up.
