According to Yishai, “the Russian air defense systems are supposed to intercept all flying objects in the Syrian sky over a range of tens to hundreds of kilometers, intercepting a few Israeli missiles,” noting, “that they failed to deter attacks on Syrian military sites and those affiliated with Iranian militias.” He stressed, “The fact that the Russian air defense systems have failed has become a reality, and it harms the global reputation of the latest Russian weapons in the global arms market and threatens to harm the Russian economy.”
