ordered the boost in the number of advanced planes for Israel after Russia deployed four S-300 air defense systems to Syria following an incident in which a Russian plane was shot down, reported DEBKAfile, a military intelligence news site linked to Israel

Moscow blamed the downing of its Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft on Tel Aviv.

Russia’s military says Israel is fully responsible for downing of a plane in Syria.

Moscow said its data proved that an Israeli F-16 fighter jet had been trying to use the Russian aircraft as a shield when it was shot down by Syrian air defense forces.

Military analysts believe Russia’s S-300 delivery to Syria boosts security of its personnel and prevents potential further escalations.
