It appears Israel has paid a huge price for last week's attack on Syria which led to the accidental "friendly" fire downing of a Russian reconnaissance plane with 15 personnel on board as the door could now be forever shut on striking targets in Syria with impunity.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has announced plans to deliver to its advanced S-300 air defense system to Damascus within two weeks .
Prior plans to deliver the system, which is considered vastly more effective and can strike at a greater range than Syria's current S-200 and others, were nixed after Israeli threats that delivery would constitute a "red line" for which Israel must act.
The Russian MoD acknowledged this and said
the situation has "changed" upon announcing its intent to follow through on what Syria has already purchased:
“In 2013 on a request from the Israeli side we suspended the delivery to Syriaof the S-300 system, which was ready to be sent with its Syrian crews trained to use it,” the MoD statement said.said early Monday , "A modern S-300 air defense missile system will be supplied to the Syrian Armed Forces within two weeks. It is capable of intercepting air assault weapons at a distance of more than 250 kilometers and hit simultaneously several air targets." The command posts of Syrian air defense forces and units will be equipped with automated control systems only supplied to the Russian armed forces . This will facilitate centralized control over all forces and resources of the Syrian air defense, monitor the situation in the air, and ensure operative issuance of orders."TASS .— something which Russia has promised will happen in two weeks time — Syria might very well become nearly untouchable .per RT :The third measure announced by the Russian defense ministry is a blanket of electronic countermeasures over Syrian coastline, which would “suppress satellite navigation, onboard radar systems and communications of warplanes attacking targets on Syrian territory.” cool down ‘hotheads’ and prevent misjudged actions posing a risk to our service members.” He added that if such a development fails to materialize, the Russian military “would act in accordance to the situation.” put it , "Israel should be worried."

Well that will wipe the smiles of the Israeli air force. After going to Russia with smiles on their faces refusing to accept any responsibility for their actions and lying over the entire affair you can bet the Russian's were angry (the meeting ended in just 20 minutes).
