Syria finds it difficult to threaten Israel when all S-300 secrets are revealed
The Russian military is urgently transferring to Syria the S-300 long-range air defense missile systems to help its ally "lock" the sky against Israeli aircraft. However, Israel declared that despite Syria having the S-300, its air force would still attack and destroy it "in the bud".
Russia's agreement to supply S-300 to Syria will of course make Israel feel most worried, they are using diplomatic channels to prevent this from happening, but according to assessments, it is too late for Tel Aviv to reverse Moscow's decision.
Therefore, Israel took the second step, which was like every time before, they declared that regardless of Syria having S-300, the Israeli Air Force would still attack and destroy it "right in the bud", nothing could stop their determination.
The reason Israel is so confident is because they claim to have grasped many of the S-300's secrets and that neutralizing it is not as difficult as imagined, although it is true that confronting the S-300 is more challenging than other air defense missile systems.

In the 1990s, Russia sold the United States a complete S-300V complex. |
First, it is necessary to recall the event when the regional press reported that the Israeli Air Force's F-35I Adir stealth fighter conducted a reconnaissance flight along the airspace of Syria and Iraq and circled many times over Iran's nuclear facilities without being detected.
After verifying the news, the Iranian Grand Ayatollah was very angry and ordered the dismissal of the country's air defense commander, and at the same time, accused Russia of providing the S-300PMU-2 Favorit source code to Iran in exchange for drone technology.
If Iran's statement is correct, it is clear that Israel is fully capable of "blinding" Syria's S-300 once again, because in addition to the source code of the S-300PMU-2, they can also receive additional technological support from the US.
The reason is that during the 1990s, Russia sold many complete S-300 systems to the United States, and recently Ukraine has continued to sell the early warning radar components of the S-300 to the United States.

In addition to knowing the secret parameters of the S-300, the Israeli Air Force also has extremely powerful trump cards such as the F-35I Adir stealth fighter or the Rampage long-range air defense missile, which is assessed to be capable of penetrating Syria's S-300 umbrella.
In addition, it should be noted that the S-300 is a complex specialized in high-altitude attacks, it is difficult to be effective against low-flying objects that take advantage of terrain and secretly infiltrate the battlefield such as the Harop suicide drone.
The confrontation between the S-300 and Israeli fighters still contains many unpredictable factors, which will only be clearly shown when the two sides clash in a real battle, this is something that needs to be closely monitored.
