I would say the Israeli Air Force has run a ton of tests.

Haven’t been shot down by S-500 missiles, and have actually taken out some sites.

I respect your opinion, but it isn’t fact.

Another item that never gets qualified. The Syrian S-400 radars can paint Israeli aircraft flying inside Israel’s own airspace where the Israeli F-35’s are likely mounting radar reflectors for safety purposes. Plus, they never say if the radars receive a targeting lock. If the detection radar happens to illuminate a stealth aircraft that does not necessarily translate to a radar-lock that would be required to stear a missile to the area. And it there’s no guarantee that the missiles terminal radar can take-over and complete the kill.

This is all spy vs. spy stuff that never gets verified until the balloon goes up and everybody has to lay their cards on the table face-up.

Alas, its the Syerian S-400 system you are thinking about which have been run against in Syria. Israelis stay well clear of the Tartus Naval base where the RUSSIAN manned S-400 and S-500 systems are located.

The Russians wouldn’t shoot them down in any case.
