#5 And then there is this [from another site]:

However, the Syrians have a pretty darned good integrated air defense system
courtesy of our Russian friends. Also, from open source, the Russians have deployed SS-26 "Stone" hypersonic missiles in Syria in locations from which they can take out NATO's Patriot missiles right quick. If we intervene in
Syria with manned aircraft we will risk losing several pilots, risk killing Russian "advisors" and may widen hostilities throughout the region. What will the Iranians do if we attack their Syrian allies? What would Russia do? This symbolic intervention could get ugly early.
