Syrian air defense shot down 8 Israeli missiles out of 12, and suppressed three more with electronic warfare systems

Only one missile was successful in Israel's night attack.

Israel's new night attack on Syria, carried out just a month later, turned out to be one of the least effective in recent years. According to information obtained by the news agency Avia.pro, only one cruise missile was able to achieve its goal for a very prolonged attack by the Israeli air force, the damage from which turned out to be very insignificant, although two Iranian servicemen were killed as a result of the IDF attack, and six Syrian soldiers were killed. were injured.

At the moment, it is known that only one missile fired by Israeli fighters was able to reach its target (three more missiles that could not be shot down missed their targets - ed.), However, the effectiveness of its defeat was very low, since the target was a site with Iranian reconnaissance and attack unmanned aerial vehicles located on it, located at Tiyas airbase. The six Syrian soldiers who were injured and the two dead soldiers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps were guarding the facility and were not actually the target.

The Syrian Ministry of Defense has not yet announced data on how many missiles were fired into Syria by IDF fighters. The fact that Israel began to show worse and worse results indicates that Syria has real opportunities to counter the aggression of a neighboring state. According to the Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Syria, a total of 12 missiles were fired across the territory of the Arab Republic, of which 8 were shot down by Pantsir-S complexes.

“On October 8 at 21.33, six F-16 tactical fighters of the Israeli Air Force, crossing the state border of the Syrian Arab Republic in the Al-Tanf area, struck 12 guided missiles at the T-4 (Tifor) airfield in the province of Homs. The Syrian air defense on duty destroyed eight missiles from the Russian-made "Pantsir" anti-aircraft missile cannon system, which is in service with the armed forces of the SAR. As a result of the Israeli strike, six Syrian soldiers were injured. Insignificant material damage was inflicted on the property of the SAR Armed Forces ", - said in a statement.

Remarkable is the fact that an Israeli missile hitting its target could be shot down. The reason for this was the fact that the S-200 air defense missile system released to intercept it simply missed its target and, having flown another one and a half hundred kilometers, fell on the border of Syria and Iraq.
