Russia had recently sent S-300 air defence missile with technical advisors in Syria. | |||
Russian
warships that have reached waters off Syria in recent days were carrying,
among other things, Russian technical advisors who will help the Syrians
set up an array of S-300
missiles Damascus has received in recent weeks, a report in the London-based
Arabic language Al Quds-Al Arabi said Thursday. Citing sources in Syria
and Russia, the paper said that Moscow sees a Western attack on Syria
as a “red line” that it will not tolerate. |

Along with the missiles,
the report says that Russia has installed advanced radar systems in
all key Syrian military and industrial installations. The radar system
also covers areas north and south of Syria, where it will be able to
detect movement of troops or aircraft towards the Syrian border. The
radar targets include much of Israel, as well as the Incirlik military
base in Turkey, which is used by NATO. |
