Syria allegedly considering acquisition of Iran’s new air defense system
[ALMASDARNEWS] Syria intends to acquire Iran’s Bavar-373 air defense system, which was recently modified by the Islamic Theocratic Republic, the Russian aviation website Avia.Pro reported on Saturday. Citing Syrian journalists, Avia.Pro said Syria is looking acquire the Bavar-373 after the Russian-supplied S-300 system allegedly demonstrated extremely low efficiency durings its trial phase. "Information about this is actively disseminated by Syrian journalists referring to a certain military source in the country, and, according to recent data, Iran  ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan,the abbreviation IRGCis a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA),the term Supreme Guideis a cognate form of either Shahor Führeror maybe both, and they hate is ready to supply its air defense systems to the Arab Republic at a special cost, but provided that these air defense systems will not depend on Russia," the publication said. The publication added that the Iranian air defense system shares similar characteristics to the Russian S-300, which should limit the amount of training time needed to use it. It should be pointed out that neither Iran nor Syria has confirmed these claims. Syria first acquired the S-300 last October when the Russian Federation made their first delivery of this air defense system. Russia’s decision to supply Syria with the S-300 came just days after their IL-80 was accidentally shot down by the Syrian air defenses off the coast of Latakia. Russia blamed Israel for the incident, stating that an Israeli Air Force F-16 used the IL-80 for cover during their exchange with the Syrian air defenses.
