A Russian-made S-300 air defense system battery located just 60 kilometers away from a Hezbollah arms depot in Syria’s Homs, destroyed in alleged Israeli airstrike failed to spot the incoming projectiles, Russian Avia.pro agency reports.
The agency added that judging by the fact that it took the Syrian military a while to figure out what exactly had happened after the facility went up in flames, radars on the more advanced S-400 batteries were blind to the attack as well.
Friday’s alleged rare daytime attack in Homs followed reports of an Israeli missile strike on targets in Syria’s Quneitra governorate and was eventually denied by Damascus altogether as it said the explosions had not been caused by hostile actions.
