Didn’t Iraq and Syria have Russian air defense systems?

[17th Miss Regt]

Back in 2006, Syria had S-300 systems to defend their airspace. The Israelis spoofed them successfully and destroyed the reactor site that had been built in NE Syria. The Russians have improved their software since then - that was a real nasty surprise.

Yes, but I don’t think the S-300...

Syria does but it was defeated by the Suter when the Israelis attacked their reactor.Suter is a military computer program developed by BAE Systems that attacks computer networks and communications systems belonging to an enemy

This one can be used against Air/Ground/Sea targets,,, If this damned thing has a fail-safe over-ride on it Iran will be able to hit any state in the gulf with a nuke,,, This is a proven system,,, Ain't junk...:0/
