Russia’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday published a video of the delivery of S-300 missile defense systems to Syria, in a move that is expected to inflame tensions in the region further.
Moscow’s deployment of the air-defense system in the country has been a point of contention with Israel and the US, but Israeli officials played down the capabilities of the missiles.
Russia confirmed the delivery of the missiles via Twitter:

Israel responded that the missile system was obsolete in its ability to repel strikes from F-35 stealth fighters.
“The operational abilities of the air force are such that those [S-300] batteries really do not constrain the air force’s abilities to act,” a top Israeli defense official said, according to a report in Channel News Asia.
Referring to the fifth-generation fighter jets, the official said: “You know that we have stealth fighters, the best planes in the world. These batteries are not even able to detect them.”
Yes it is not able to detected them that is true, but not for 4th generation planes. And it is clear signal to Israel that Russia will up the game if they continue their strategy… on long run they could deploy more advanced radars and air defence… and even counter strike missiles like Iskander and provide Syria with beefed new versions of military jets… it is long way but RF would go there if needed.
. If they don’t care about it then why they were lobbying all this time for Russians not to deliver it ? I’m gonna go ahead and call a BS on "they are not even able to detect them", they just bitter
Russians often showed where the US F-22s were detected in Eastern Syria. It depends which S-300s they are sneding. The word on the street that it’s the never models (2013+) And since it will be integrated system S-400 will help with target designation as well
WHAT THE ZIONIST REGIME FAILED TO SAY IS THAT THEY HAVE NOT FLOWN THE F35S IN SYRIA YET. BECAUSE THERE ARE KNOWN FAILURES IN THE F35 SYSYTEMS. THIS PALNE IS THE WORLDS MOST EXPENSIVE AND IF THE F35 STEALTHS FAILED TO PERFORM AND A S300 SHOT IT DOWN .THE US WOULD HAVE
A HEART ATTACK. AS THE WORLD WOULD CANCEL ORDERS FOR IT. BUT IT WILL REMAIN TO BE SEEN IF PUTIN HAS REALY GAVE ORDERS TO SHOT DOWN THE ZIONIST REGIMES PLANES NOT CLEAR THAT HE HAS .HIS MILITARY MINISTER HAS SATD THEY WILL.BUT HE;S NOT PUTIN.
He is whisling past the graveyard. Define; Voronezh-DM radar system S300’s have their limitations but it is part of a very sophisticated system. Russian Sukhoi Su-35 have recently detected an F-22 Raptor and had it in its cross hairs according to Newsweek. They can use lasers to cast and image and give missile sytems a location. Flying over Syria is risky and could prove to be very expensive. Syria successfully defended itself against American Patriot missile attack with Soviet era S200. Israel has forgotten that is has had it’s butt kicked by Hezbollah twice now. They destroyed 25 of their newest tanks and bombed Haifa. They don’t seem in any particular hurry to attack Lebanon. These are not third world Arab countries any longer.
Armchair QB wish list: Israhell is totally vaporized = peace in the ME maybe even MENA ~ I doubt the luzers in the State Dept would insert policy to engage in a hand to hand battle, cuz the People don’t want to be in Syria much less dying for Resouces like Gas Pipeline and who knows what else. Whatever: Viva Presidents al Asad, Vlad Putin. I wish for every US mercenary there’s a pinebox waiting…
Nonsense from Israel as usual……..Bit of general public news about the Chinese J-20’s being totally visible on the Bars AI radars on the Indian Su-30MKI’s…….Stealth is over rated!
Also by delivering the S-300s to Syria, Russia is ensuring that Iran will operate these systems.
Why doesn’t Russia deploy S-400? By the way Russia is selling S- 400 to India and only deploying S-300 system which has limitations in Syria!
FYI, Russian military does have the S-400’s deployed in Syria, but they protect the Russian base at Hmiem and Latakia port, not the Syrian Army.
What if Russians gave Syria S-300 missile with detection radar that are same as S-400 missile system which is capable of detecting even a stealth aircrafts like piece of cake.

But they have flown them in Syria so you better research a little better bud

Ivan Smirnoff F-22s don’t fly in full stealth mode because they don’t have to and have no air threat to worry about. Why would they fly the F-22 in full stealth so that the Russians could acquire its radar signature possibly? They wouldn’t. Now throw some fighters up there to challenge the F-22s and you will see what stealth can really do or maybe you won’t see shit hahah

They detected an F-22 visually and not on radar and even if it were on radar the F22s aren’t flying in full stealth mode because there is no threat that they have to worry about and why give the Russians the opportunity to try and figure out how they could detect them? So I don’t think so.

Stealth is overrated? Haha I guess Iraq and Syria haven’t gotten the message because B-2 bombers seem to fly with impunity.
