Indeed ,a very big thing.. Why this is so huge for Syria..? because if Russia share and link information of their radars with connect it with Syrian air defenses missiles... then the Syrians no longer will have a need to use their S-300s radars.. and can operate in passive mode totally hidden from Israel planes. It means that if Israel will find no use
in bombing Syria radars.. if the Russians military base radars are the ones that locks on their planes.. So israel will have to attack Russia military base , and declare war on Russia ,in order to stop Syrian army missiles from always knowing the positions of their planes ,including the stealth ones. and if that wasn't enough ,Rusia will jam and interfere in Israel navigation GPS but also jam israeli planes radars.. so if Russia can do that ,effectively Israel airforce will be blind and will see nothing ,hear nothing ,and only way to receive information from where they are
, is with their own eyes.. observing the terrain. is going to complicate a lot the navigation and guidance of Israel airforce ..if it is true Russia can jam their radars.
Syria will not risk their S-300. The most likely scenario is Syria keeping their S-300 in Latakia even inside the Russian base if possible, and in Damascus for the previously delivered export variant units. Israel only can defeat them by saturation attacks or by sabotage attacks, and to keep them together with the Pantsir SA-22 and the 2S6 Tunguska SA-19 in safe places with protection of air and land forces, is the best measure against both.
A significantly bigger presence of the S-300 in Latakia liberate instead other systems that have been serving there and that can be moved now to reinforce the air defense of other places like Aleppo, Deir-Ez-Zor, Daraa, and more. The Buk SA-11/17, Kub SA-6, S-200 SA-5, S-75 SA-2, S-125 SA-3 and S-125 SA-26 in the area of the coast can be moved now, and with them, the Osa SA-8 systems that can help to protect the most important of them.
As result, the saturation of the Syrian air defense will increase in all the country.
