In addition, a Russian-made surface-to-air missile site and its associated radar was destroyed....

Er, wasn’t the radar supposed to detect incoming missiles?

I thought that was the whole point of radar :)

Depends on the SAM. Depends if it was manned at all. Not all Syrian SAMs have any 'capability' against cruise missiles. We told them we were coming, I suspect they took that time to GTFO.
