"the Pantsir are coming ... the Pantsir are here!"

YW, here

"According to Russia’s Interfax news agency, the first shipment of advanced Pantsir S1 anti-aircraft missiles have been delivered to Syria in a major deal between the two countries. Syria has ordered 36 missile batteries from the Russians. The deal was signed a number of years ago, valued at $700 million.........

Israeli military officials, current and retired, over recent months explained if Syria and/or Iran got hold of the advanced anti-aircraft system it would make an offensive against Iran significantly more complicated, but added “not undoable,” stating the air force has a response to the S1 system too."
