Satellite imagery confirmed Russia redeployed an
S-300 surface-to-air missile (SAM) system from Syria, and observers believe the battery is already in transit through the Black Sea to support Russia’s war in Ukraine.
This battery, in particular,
arrived in 2018 and was
something of a gift to Syrian strongman Bashar Al Assad. It was declared a much-needed upgrade of Syria's ancient, and
in some cases dangerous, air defense system. It was not located at
Russia's airbase south of Latakia or
its prized naval port in Tartus, multiple advanced air defense systems remain at these locations protecting Russian interests. Instead, it sat inland and was supposed to protect critical Syrian targets. While it was claimed to be a Syrian system, in the years that have passed, it became
clear that Russia retained control of it. Now Moscow appears to have taken its 'gift' back and shipped it off to the Black Sea.
