Russia Redeploys S-300 Air Defense Battery Out of Syria
(Ynet News) Ron Ben Yishai - Russia removed a S-300 missile defense system from Masyaf in northwest Syria recently, to bolster its military offensive in Ukraine. This may have facilitated a strike on targets there last week attributed to Israel. Masyaf has become the primary center for the production of Syrian and Iranian precise missiles, for use by Hizbullah and other Shi'ite militia groups. 24 Russian S-300 batteries were deployed to Syria. Syrians operate the systems under the command of Russian "military advisors."
