Anti-aircraft missile batteries could pose threat to Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets in war-torn country; satellite images taken by Israeli company show that three of the four batteries are in upright position, indicating they are ready for use.
Russian-supplied S-300 anti-aircraft missile system deployed on Syrian soil appear to have become operational, according to satellite images taken by Israeli ImageSat International company and published by Israeli military Wednesday. Three out of four aerial defense batteries were captured in an upright position, while the fourth one remained covered by a net. The development might endanger Israel Air Force missions against Iranian targets in the war-battered county.
