It surprises me that with all the hype over the AS400 system that the Russians have installed and the previously well functioning Syrian air defence systems that if it was an Israeli air strike that there was no functioning air defence.
Can anyone shed any light?
One would also suspect that Damascus would have some sort of integrated Air Defence. That said, I imagine it would be difficult to integrate the Russian Air Defence into the Syrian IADS.
