Israel's early morning air strike, Syrian capital bombed, large number of Russian-made missiles fail to intercept
Israeli airstrikes in the early morning, Syrian capital bombed, large number of Russian missiles failed to intercept!
According to media reports, at 4:26 a.m. on June 9, Israel launched an undeclared airstrike on southern and central Syria, which targeted the Syrian capital Damascus and Homs province. Explosions were heard in Damascus and Homs that day, to which the Syrian military responded promptly, saying that Syria's defense and control systems had countered the enemy missiles, shooting down some of them, and that fortunately the airstrikes caused material damage and no casualties! And in response to the unsuspecting Israeli airstrikes, Syria chose to counterattack, but how Syria will fight is still unknown!
Previously, when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict took place, it was predicted that after the end of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel would definitely increase its strikes on Iranian targets in Syria, especially Iran's ammunition depots in Syria, and organize new types of weapons into Hamas and Hezbollah controlled areas! Just as Israel provoked Syria, the U.S. chose to show its cards to Iran! Secretary of State Blinken said that the United States will support Ukraine's accession to NATO, while warning the Iranian side that even if Iran returns to the Iranian nuclear deal, hundreds of sanctions unrelated to it, will still be maintained, which also includes the sanctions program adopted under the Trump administration, unless Iran stops de-dollarizing and continues to use the dollar when selling oil, the United States will not abandon all sanctions!
Israel as the United States in the Middle East the most handy "trump card", the air strikes in Syria, may also be and the United States in unison, taking the opportunity to blackmail Iran, forcing Tehran to make greater concessions, the Middle East can continue to serve as the United States ATM! This air strike, the Israeli side was deployed, F-16 warplanes launched Delilah cruise missiles. Delilah air-launched cruise missiles with a range of no more than 300 kilometers. At the time, because the Delilah air-launched cruise missile was a very cheap missile, it was generally used as a decoy bomb, and the installation of photoelectric detectors and data chains on this missile could be used as an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
Because of the cheap cost and the air defense systems of the Israeli military opponents, most of them are old Russian air defense missiles. Therefore, the Israeli air force air strikes very much like to use this cruise missile. The targets of the Israeli air strikes are mostly Iranian "bases", including oil refineries and other targets, but the most innocent of the fight is still Syria! After all, the United States is not happy, Israel is upset, Turkey wants to find Kurdish trouble, Russia wants to deal with pro-US rebels, are chosen in the Syrian territory firefight, the final sufferings are the Syrian people!
Israel is known as the Middle East hegemon, the strength is really not to be underestimated, especially after Biden came to power, but also to Israel connivance, bombing Iranian nuclear facilities, oil tankers, cargo ships, with inside and outside the way to lead to Iranian chemical plants, oil refineries were bombed, Iran's largest warships sunk into the sea, all happened in this period of time. During the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, dozens of Hamas officers were "beheaded" and a large number of hospitals, water and electricity facilities were destroyed!
Syria's Damascus region is in the top five in the world for air defense fire density, but the vast majority are old Soviet and Russian air defense missiles. in 2017, Russia assisted Syria with more than 50 armored S-1 air defense missile systems and more than 100 SAM 8 and SAM 17 air defense missiles. It also helped upgrade hundreds of existing missile-linked systems in Syria, which despite being among the top five in the world in terms of air defense firepower density, still has no way to intercept Israeli air strikes!
Syria has been suffering from war erosion for years, even with Russian aid, but only some obsolete equipment, the two sides in electronic warfare is too big disparity, even if Syria has MiG 21, MiG 23, Su 22 and MiG 29 fighters do not have the ability to air combat Israel. So in the heat of battle and being attacked, Syria can only be passive, even the Iranian air defense forces stationed in Syria, but also unable to confront the Israeli air force attack!
Putin also uncharacteristically did not speak out against Iran, but chose to be silent, after all, the United States and Russia high-level meeting is about to take place, and now this juncture, or not to cause trouble good! Iran has never seemed to take advantage of the "confrontation" with Israel, so Iran has always wanted to buy Su-35s, J-10s, the new S-300 and S-400 air defense missiles. In order to get the right to defend themselves in future conflicts, otherwise Iran will only be passive and beaten!
