Why Israel now seeks to wipe out Syria’s anti-air capabilities?

The obliteration of Syria’s air defenses by Israeli airstrikes does little to Iran’s security, Russian military expert Yuri Lyamin of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies think tank tells Sputnik.

Syrian anti-air capabilities during Bashar al-Assad’s reign served as a source of early warning for Iran and helped keep the Israeli air force in check, he explains. The collapse of the Syrian Arab Republic deprived Iran of this asset.

“It should be noted, however, that Syrian air defense has already been weakened by Israeli strikes – many radar stations and air defense systems were destroyed in the past few years,” Lyamin remarks, pointing out that Syrian defenses did not hamper the October 26 Israeli attack on Iran.

According to Lyamin, Israeli strikes on Syrian military infrastructure are simply meant to weaken Syria, to ensure that it remains weak no matter who ends up seizing power there.

With the Syrian army basically ceasing to exist and other armed groups in the country lacking adequate air defenses, Israeli aircraft can now attack whichever targets in Syria they want with impunity, he notes.

Lyamin also warns that reports about US President-elect Donald Trump allegedly mulling strikes against Iran to prevent the latter from developing nuclear weapons may not be just efforts to put pressure on Tehran.

Some of Iran’s key nuclear sites are hidden so deep underground, he explains, that, nuclear weapons aside, they could only be destroyed by the “most powerful bombs” that only the US strategic bombers can carry.

Just eat the L. The Russians are not going anywhere. Anyone fucks with the bases they get their ass stuffed with FAB bombs they are going to shit shrapnel in hell.

Pussying out is how Soviets lost the Cold War and were flushed down toilet bowl of history

Makes sense that Russia is keeping up with tradition and heading for the same ending

All these years, the rebels have not been able to do anything to affect the Russian bases in Syria.
I don't think that will change now.
And as I said before, Israel has taken care of destroying most of the weapons that could have given the rebels a chance to attack.
Not to mention that there are several differences between the various factions and they may end up fighting each other.

Something to illustrate what I wrote above:

More footage of the aftermath of the Israeli Air Force strikes on the Mezeh airbase near Damascus, where a Buk-M2 air defense system and Gazelle SA.342L helicopters of the former Syrian army were destroyed .

Also in the photo is a Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system destroyed on the march, several abandoned T-72M1s , a BMP-1 and a Shilka in various technical conditions.

Hostilities with NATO slowly escalating, and they won in Syria, wrote:

We'll see if he wins in Ukraine too.

I agree, it's better to focus on Ukraine. Russia doesn't need Syria. However, Russia will probably keep the bases anyway.

And perhaps you should switch to a NATO forum if you've already chosen your side and who's winning according to you. WTF are you doing here? wrote:

If Russia consistently continues to lead the SMO, it will win without a problem. If Trump comes up with some kind of agreement and freezing the conflict and Putin goes for it, it is a victory for NATO. Although I personally doubt that Russia will fall for it again, the West will try the trick from 2014, especially now when Russia is close to the collapse of the Ukrainian front.

The Syrian "revolution" has ordered Palestinian armed resistance to be disbanded.

*Cough* We told you so.

What will be the lame excuse from London-based Salafis on this one?

The "Syrian rebels" are distancing themselves from Hamas.

Obeida Arnaout, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham spokesperson, responded to a journalist's question about whether what the rebels did in Aleppo is similar to what happened on October 7:

His answer: "I challenge anyone to show a single piece of evidence that we harmed a civilian. The instructions from the leadership were clear – not to harm anyone."

"Syrian rebels" has told Palestinian groups present in the Syria that they must hand over their weapons within a week and disband.

@ResistanceTrench

Russia will keep the bases.

I just hope they can carve out a nice area in the region for the safety of those who sided with Russia.
