Russia allegedly gives Syria green light to use S-300 system against Israeli warplanes

Good luck with that, guys.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Armed Forces have allegedly given the Syrian military the green light to use their S-300 system against Israeli warplanes that enter their airspace, the Russian aviation publication Avia.Pro reported.
"I'd shoot and scoot if I were you, though"
"Against the background of how Israel was repeatedly seen striking at Syria despite the previously reached agreements between Russia and Israel, a source told Avia.pro that the Syrian military received permission to use its air defense systems in case of the slightest threat from Israel, provided that the Syrian side bears responsibility for such actions," Avia.Pro said.

Despite completing the installation of their S-300 batteries in the Masyaf area of Hama this year, the Syrian Armed Forces have yet to use these air defense systems against the Israeli warplanes that have repeatedly bombed the country.

However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
based on what Avia.Pro has reported, the Syrian Armed Forces appear to be reliant on the Russian military to use these air defense systems against the Israeli Air Force jets that violate their airspace.

"Russia allowed the Syrian military to put the S-300 on full alert and attack Israeli aircraft in the event of the slightest threat," a military source told Avia.Pro.

The effectiveness of the S-300 against the Israeli Air Force has been in question since its installation, as the latter has carried out attacks as far east as the Deir Ezzor Governorate and as far north as Aleppo.

#1 To be followed by steep decline in S-300 sales?

#2 There's a secondary market for the S-300 as a surface to surface missile. What goes up, most likely, will come down.

#3 Aren't they working on the New & Improved™ S-500 already? Like Krupp selling coastal artillery before WW1 there is always a better model for favored customers ... if they can afford it.

#4 A marketing strategy?

Mamoud: That air defense system you sold us sucks donkey balls. The Juice blew thru here like they were invisible.
Dimitri: Saw that on news. Pity. But S-300 *is* older system. Perhaps upgrade to S-400? We have sale now. Lucky day for you!

#5 Israel has already proven the S-300 to be a giant piece of shit.

Don't push them to demonstrate that to the world as loudly and explodedly as they can. Sales of the S series will plummet.
