New info:
The System supplied to the Syrians

S-300PMU-2 is outdated but will be manned by Iranians who already run the same variant in Iran.

Are 3 battalions each with 3 launchers and 100 missiles per launcher - 300 missiles in all. Systems underwent major overhauls in Russia’s arms factories so are like new.

No Russians will be on site.

Thanks for this.

Obviously, Amir doesn’t think the S-300s in Syria are all that great, but maybe it’s a difference without a difference as far as the current situation is concerned.

The Israelis play things close to the vest (except for when they want something known for a specific purpose), so it’s hard to know the details, but he has mentioned superior Israeli electronic warfare.
