Former Israeli defense minister Moshe Arens said that he doubts Russia transferred missiles to Syria, but if it turns out the weapons were transferred, ” our Air Force can deal with them”:
“I would be very surprised (you are talking about the S-300 anti-aircraft missile) â if the Russians actually transfer these missiles to Syria as I think that they know that it will turn out that our Air Force can deal with them. This wouldnât be good publicity for a product that is their export product. They are selling this product to many countries and it wonât help their export,” said Arens today in a radio interview.
