The Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system.
Russia’s defense ministry on Sunday claimed that “Syria destroyed two missiles fired by F-16 fighters of the Israeli Air Force,” suggesting, of course, that the successful downing was done by air defense units of the Russian military station in Syria.
The report, in ria.ru, cited Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties (CPVS) in Syria, who claimed that the Syrian air defense systems destroyed two Israeli missiles fired at targets in Seydat Zeinab, Damascus.
