Second recent Israeli air strike in Syria. Both went into the heart of the pretty sophisticated Russian-supported air defenses. Two thoughts: 1. the Israelis have sophisticated equipment and tactics; 2. I hope these strikes don’t tip off the Russians to all of our own capabilities to the extent they review and upgrade again.

I wouldnt be surprised if there are special channels of communication between Israel and Russia regarding these strikes
Russia and Iran are “ allies” with certain mutual strategic and business interests but not ideologically united - iran is, after all. a weaponized muslim theocracy aimed at the “ godless “ Russians as much as at the infidel US
The Israelis are most likely not overflying any of those air defenses. They are most likely using something like the weapon shown in this video.
