One of the S-300 aerial defense battaries deployed in Syria has been documented in an image produced by an Israeli-made satellite, Haaretz newspaper wrote.
The images published by the newspaper show the battery’s four launchers and the satellite’s manufacture, ImageSat International, believes it is not currently operational because some components are still missing.
The battery is deployed in the Maysaf area north of the city of Homs in the northern part of the country, according to the newspaper. There is a network of Syrian security industries in this area, where Iran and Syria are reportedly attempting to manufacture precise weaponry for Hezbollah. According to Arab media reports the area has been attacked by Israel several times in recent years.
Haaretz added that the process of training Syrian soldiers to be stationed at the missile batteries is expected to take some time, and the new batteries have not yet reached operational readiness.
