the reason that there was no response from the Russian S-300/S-400 batteries.

The reason there was no response from the Russian S-300/S-400 batteries is because they are worthless junk that can't shoot down anything other than airliners flying straight and level at 30,000 ft.

Actually, there is an agreement between Putin and Bibi on Russian air defense over Syria when it concerns the Iranians. Not to mention the US over watch of the Israeli planes - think F-22 and F35s which Putin also is OK with, because he wants the Iranians out of Syria as much as the Israelis.

Also the Russian system that shot down the airliner was not an S-300 or S-400, but a Buk Missile System ... see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buk_missile_system#Combat_service

The 300 and 400 systems have not seen combat in the ME because to use them unnecessarily would expose their latest combat capabilities - which are better preserved for a more pressing situation threatening Russian troops directly.
