"the system could track any aerial target at a range of up to 50 kilometers."

Excellent job by Mossad, Military Intelligence, IAI, IAF, etc. That said, the range of 50 km doesn't render this system capable of reaching Israeli airspace from the T-4 base. Located 60 km east of Homs, the system can't even reach Lebanese airspace, nor reach anywhere near the Golan Heights. The only place this system could be effective, is to defend the T-4 base itself.

The article states that versions with 100 and 200 km range are being developed by Iran. Now that's scary, and that's different. And one last question: If the system copies a-la-Chinese the Russian S-300, and if it works, then the Syrian Air Force already has it, or had it, until Thursday morning.

Qassem Solimani will dedicate the rest of his life to revenge for his frustration and humilliation. I'm sure the Mossad understands it. Shavua Tov.

...No wonder the donkey-brained ayatollahs are so furious:
First - having been caught cheating, with their "skirts" down !
Second: their best anti-aircraft weapons blasted to smithereens !
If it weren't for the rags around their numb-sculls, those eyes would pop out from impotent rage !!

But the strategy is to build military deterrence against the idf with aerial Defense system and precision guided missile reaching all of Israel. A lot of money squandered for nothing while the economy has plummeted.

However, my experience an a reserves officer in the IDF, brings me to a totally different view of the IDF’s abilities.
Want a small example?
The Iranian system replacing the S-300i iscalled Bevar and it looks completely different from the system shown in the article.
So...the officers that briefed Ron Ben Yishai for his propaganda article simply do not know what they are talking about.
And THIS, my friend Ron, is my experience with most IDF officers.
