All that stuff is toast without air cover. Right now the West has no experience (read no defense against {there are defense systems, but there is no indication of purchase and deployment}) with the Russian S-400 systems that they claim to have moved in (the only video posted shows only missile tubes being unloaded, but not the all important engagement radar - without which the system could just be a S-300 variant).

However, if that is a full-blown S-400, then Russia has established a real no-fly zone stretching from central Turkey, all of Crete, Syria, and Lebanon, to western Iraq, and half of Israel, to Port Said in Egypt. And if Russia has brought in SU-25s (an A-10 equivalent), then so much for those spiffy German tanks.

all these systems can be defeated by detonation of ordnance on target, they need multiple systems and backups so another can be brought on line when one is blown up.
