Supply of modern anti-aircraft defense equipment to the Syrian government troops will protect the country from provocations by the Israeli army. Such a statement was made by the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Arab Republic, Faisal Mekdad. Answering the questions of Chinese journalists, the diplomat said that after Damascus receives from Russia the promised S-300 complexes, the neighboring hostile state will diminish the ardor. "Let Israel try (to inflict air strikes on the territory of Syria), and we will protect ourselves, as before," - quotes Mekdad RIA FAN. Deputy Foreign Minister noted that new air defense systems will be delivered "in the near future". "Israel, who has been accustomed to conducting many attacks under various pretexts, will have to recount and reconsider its decision before again attacking," he said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency,. Despite the early deliveries of S-300 troops to Bashar Assad's troops, the Israeli leadership ordered its armed forces to continue operations against the Iranian forces in Syria. At the same time, security coordination with colleagues from Russia should be maintained, the statement of the key ministers of the Israeli government. Israeli press reacted negatively to news about S-300 shipments. "In two weeks, Israel is waiting for a nightmare?" - these headlines are full of local media. The ambassador of the League of Arab States in Moscow is of the opinion that the delivery of S-300 complexes will benefit the entire Arab world. "If they (S-300) are used to maintain a balance between Syria and Israel, it will be better for the entire Arab world ... Arab countries need to have the advantage to protect their security. In the Arab world, Russia is considered a reliable source of supply, "RIA Novosti quotes the diplomat as saying.. Late in the evening of September 17, the Russian E-20 reconnaissance aircraft was shot down over the Mediterranean Sea. The catastrophe was caused by a missile fired by Syrian military from the S-200 air defense missile system. All 15 Russian servicemen on board were killed. After that, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced a series of measures to improve the security of our servicemen in Syria. In particular, Russia intends to equip all the command posts of the Syrian air defense with automated control systems, to launch an electronic warfare against the combat aircraft of Israel and other countries attacking Syrian targets, and transfer more modern S-300 systems to the Syrian army. The terms and conditions for supplying the Syrian air defense system to Syria in the Kremlin have been denied. "They will be implemented exclusively in the interests of ensuring the security of our military," - that's all that the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov said in this regard.
