Former Defense Minister and Chief of Staff Moshe 'Bogie' Yaalon said that Israel would find ways to deal with Syria's new S-300 air defense system.
"The operational significance is that this is another challenge for the Israeli Air Force, but the Israeli Air Force has been preparing for this period for a long time," Yaalon told Maariv. "The radar is looking for airplanes, but we have planes that are just as elusive for this, like the F35 that these systems do not know to detect. The coverage area of the S300 is a very wide radius, which is the advantage of this system. The Air Force will have to consider this, but it has dealt with all kinds of similar systems in the past. "
