Russia to supply Syria with S-300 anti-missile system
[Ynet] Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Monday that Moscow will supply an S-300 anti-missile system to Syria within two weeks, following the downing of the Ilyushin IL-20 by the Syrian forces, who tried to repel an IAF attack.The anti-aircraft unit will reportedly be equipped with Russian tracking and guidance systems, and is intended to "calm down some hotheads" whose actions "pose a threat to our troops," according to Shoigu. To paraphrase Miles Vorkosigan, "Are you challenging our ingenuity, Ivan?" Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2018-09-24 |
