Russian Minister of Defense S. Shoigu announces that Russia will complete the delivery to Damascus of an S-300 air defense system within two weeks.
Russian President V. Putin ordered the defense ministry to take several measures in response to the incident with Il-20:
1-Russia to supply S-300 to Syria (In 2013 on a request from the Israeli side suspended the delivery)
2-Russia to supply with automatic control systems to Syrian Air Defense Troops, "which are only supplied to the Russian Army". It will ensure identification of all Russian aircraft by the Syrian AD forces,centralized management of all Syrian AD and prompt target designation.
3-electronic countermeasures over Syrian coastline, which would “suppress satellite navigation, onboard radar systems and communications of warplanes attacking targets on Syrian territory in the regions over the waters of the Mediterranean Sea bordering with Syria“.
Shoigu said this measures are meant to “cool down ‘hotheads’ and prevent misjudged actions posing a risk to our service members.” If such a development fails to materialize, the Russian military “would act in accordance to the situation.”
