The Real Target of the T-4 Attack in Syria: An Advanced Iranian Aerial Defense System

(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - On April 9, Israel bombed the T-4 airbase in Syria. Seven Iranians were killed in the attack, but they were not the target. The target was the "3rd Khordad" aerial defense system, an Iranian copy of the Russian S-300 system. Once the system was unloaded off of an Iranian transport plane at the T-4 base, it was destroyed before even being unpacked.
