Syrian army began to lose the most modern technology

Tehran’s accusations by the Israeli prime minister of violating the terms of the "nuclear deal" and the US withdrawal from it launched the "cunning plan" of Trump-Nenanyahu to oust Iran from Syria. Back in 2017, the Minister of Intelligence of the Jewish state of Katz directly stated that the squeezing of the Islamic Republic from Syria is a common interest of Washington and Tel Aviv.





Literally immediately after the American president announced his decision to withdraw from the "nuclear deal", an undeclared "night war" began between Iran and Israel. Israeli aviation used to strike at the Iranian military infrastructure in Syria, but now its actions have intensified. The Jewish state is not ready to allow the appearance of Iranian air bases, military depots, a seaport and thousands of pro-Iranian militants next door. It is not surprising that Israel is very sharply opposed to the Iranian nuclear program and takes every opportunity to stop it.

According to Israeli intelligence, the Iranian military launched a missile attack on IDF positions in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on the night of Thursday to Friday, firing at least 20 missiles. According to Benjamin Nenanyahu, who is on a visit to Moscow, this was preceded by the accumulation of weapons and the transfer of Iranian military forces to Syria to attack Israel. According to the attacked side, the Grad and Fajr-5 MLRSs were used. Part of the missiles did not reach the target, falling into the Syrian desert, 4 remaining were successfully intercepted by the Israeli Iron Dome.

The reckoning followed only an hour and a half later, with the Russian side being promptly notified of the military response. Within two hours, the 28 F-15 and F-16 fighters of the Israeli Air Force fired 60 missiles at a number of targets in Syria. In addition, a dozen land-to-ground missiles flew from the Golan Heights. According to the Israeli side, all the targets were successfully hit, and the planes returned without loss to the airbases. Data on the results of the attack from the sources of the parties to the conflict varies.

Official Syrian media claim that government air defense forces shot down dozens of missiles, but caused damage to military airfields, bases and warehouses. According to Syrian opposition media, an Israeli strike was struck at the airfields of Shchairat, Tala and Meze, as well as military infrastructure in the cities of Kuneitra and Al-Qusayr, where the base of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah group was hit. At the same time, weapons depots, air defense radars and missile launchers were destroyed.

The IDF press service reports that 50 objects of the Iranian military infrastructure were destroyed on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, with the main blow being made at the headquarters and bases of the Iran’s special unit of Al-Quds. Also not far from Kuneitra the "Hurricane" multiple launch rocket system was destroyed, with the help of which the territory of Israel was fired. It is worth noting that Israeli aviation was able to hit elements of the Syrian air defense system, in particular, five radars of the old Soviet S-200 (SA5), S-75 Dvina (SA2), as well as modern Russian “Shell-C1” (SA22) and Buk-M1-2 (SA17).



A logical question arises: how was the Israeli military able to destroy the modern Russian "Shell-C1" so easily, which showed itself so well when the Western coalition launched a missile strike in April? Experts give at least two comprehensive explanations. First, the Pantsir-C1 complex was designed to destroy air targets, but it was shot down by the Spike NLOS low-flying anti-tank missile, most likely fired from the Israeli Pereh self-propelled artillery mount. Secondly, the human factor could play a fatal role. In the Israeli military personnel’s destruction of the air defense system, one can see how the Syrian crew flees towards it and reaches at the same time as the missile strike. Simply put, due to the negligence of the military, the “Shell-C1” simply could not be brought into combat readiness. Obviously, the long-term Syrian campaign has led to a shortage of professional personnel in the government army. It is not surprising that at present negotiations are not being held on the supply of S-300 air defense systems to Syria, as the presidential aide for military-technical cooperation, Vladimir Kozhin, put it, the Syrian army has "everything." The problem with new weapons models may lie precisely in the degree of training in their calculations. In this regard, it becomes clear why Washington imposes sanctions against entire military units of the Russian Federation, where the training of Syrian and Iranian anti-aircraft gunners is carried out.



Israel’s position regarding the exchange of blows with Iran sounds something like this: if we have rain, you will have a flood. Tehran declined to comment on the escalation of the military conflict, preferring to blame everything on the aggressive "Syrian miners":

Iran is not involved in a missile strike on Israel on Thursday. There are no Iranian military and no bases in Syria. Israel is lying. Syria struck, and this is the answer to numerous attacks on this country

    What we have - we do not store, having lost - we cry. This simple proverb captures the essence of what happened. A negligent attitude towards their direct duties led to a sad outcome. In war, one cannot relax and military crews can sleep well. Even when peace comes, you need to be on the lookout. The theory of an anti-tank projectile that allegedly does not recognize the "Shell C1" is not valid, since any aircraft or object in the radar's field of view is visible, regardless of the type of projectile, missile, drone, etc. The technique is very expensive and losing effective combat units due to bungling is a direct road to regression and defeat.

    On the destruction of our "Shell C1" by Israel.
    The “C-1 shell” was delivered recently in Syria; the Syrians could not have mastered it so quickly. Most likely there were ours.
    Twelve missiles will not be enough - you need twice as many, and remove the guns as in the Arctic version. Or put the installation close to each other, so that one covers the other.

      You should go to Tula there; maybe the place of the general designer is still not taken - it’s time to crawl such talents off the couch!

    When they advertised "Pantsir-C1" they forgot to tell Israel, they simply did not know that this is a very terrible installation that knocks down almost everything. Israel warned about S-300 supplies that it would destroy them, and this was a demonstration.
