The media reported the destruction of Israeli missiles by the Pantsir-S Russian air defense missile system.

Due to the fact that Israel carried out attacks on the outskirts of the Syrian capital without Russian notification, it became known that the Russian military received orders to use the Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile systems to repel Israeli attacks.

“Russian anti-aircraft missile systems helped repel Israel’s missile attack on Damascus by Syrian air defense, said military expert Sergei Khatylev. Khatylev, in an interview with Politics Today, recalled that today the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is armed with more than 30 anti-aircraft missile-cannon systems (air defense systems) "Shell-S" made in Russia. The expert emphasizes that Syria’s “shell” is now enough to repel attacks comparable to what happened on the night of November 20 in southern Damascus. ZRPK also allows you to deliver accurate attacks on drones "- reports the Federal News Agency.

It is not known how objective this information is, but if Russia really used its Pantsir-S air defense missile defense system to repel Israeli attacks, this is the first time that the Russian military opposed Tel Aviv.

On the other hand, according to a number of these sources, only two missiles were intercepted as a result of the Israeli air strike, which raises a lot of questions regarding the effectiveness of the use of Russian Pantsir-S air defense missile systems
