Putin understands this reality. (And he doesn’t want Iran in Syria either - too dangerous to Russian interests and too risky, destabilizing).

Is Russia ready to have its new S-400s blown to dust while still on the ground?

Netanyahu is under political pressure within Israel. His long tenure may be ending. However he will not leave office with
Iran remaining an existential threat to the Jewish people and Israel. If he did , he would consider his career a failure and would not have a day of personal peace for the remainder of his life.

This article is dumb, Israel has been conducting a lot of operations in Syria over the last year or so, with Russia’s apparent cooperation. Why do they act as if it’s a new thing??

If Israel is forced to confront Iran in Syria over Russian objection, then the Russians are going to lose a LOT of money in sales, because the Israelis are going to pick apart the entirety of their air defense system - radars, communications and missiles - rendering them as useless against the IAF’s aircraft as sling shots.

I think that the Russians know this, and that this is why the 2 countries have been staying out of each others’ way for a while in Syria. Russia may be stronger (esp. when counting its nukes), but not right next door to Israel.
