The incident that occurred last Sunday demonstrated the vulnerability of Syria's air defense.

Earlier, the resource Avia.pro, referring to the Arab news agency Al Masdar News, reported that Russia had completed the integration of its modern radar and air defense systems with Syrian systems and complexes. In fact, we are talking about creating a single highly effective air and missile defense system, however, Israeli experts believe that the launches of Syrian anti-aircraft missiles on December 9, 2018 are a vivid demonstration that even integrated systems have a lot of vulnerabilities.

The Israeli edition of The Jerusalem Post, citing an expert, said that the external influence on the Syrian air defense systems could be to blame for everything

"Babak Tagwi, a defense analyst, claims that" jamming by the Israeli air force caused the fire control radars of the Syrian Arab Air Defense Forces to malfunction. " Subsequently, three missiles were launched against non-existent targets <...> If the radar was malfunctioning or “jammed”, Moscow will be interested to know that its system or those it trained to use it made mistakes. This will make the Syrian air defense forces worry about the use of their air defense and whether it is functioning properly. ", - the newspaper reports.

It should be clarified that no official confirmation of this information by the Israeli Ministry of Defense has yet been received.
