Syria: Russia Upgrades Air-Defense System
October 02, 2007 14 48 GMT

Russia has sent a team of technicians to Syria to upgrade the Syrian air-defense network, London daily The Times reported Oct. 2. The team reportedly was dispatched after Syrian airspace was penetrated by an alleged Israeli airstrike Sept. 6 near Dayr az-Zawr. The Times report also suggests that the Israeli air force successfully applied, for the first time, a sophisticated electronic warfare system that jammed Syria’s Russian-made radar during the attack.

Good luck with those “upgrades”.... Probably won’t help at all, most likely a tech support “gesture” to Syria to try to keep their arms sales alive.

Since this came out I have felt the cutting-edge in-house Russian upgrades to the air defense systems would not have been (as) vulnerable to the ECM.
