Iranian Forces Deployed Air-Defense System, Anti-Aircraft Guns In Syria’s Deir Ezzor: Monitoring Group

File image.

The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had deployed a mobile air-defense system in the southern countryside of Syria’s Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on August 7.

According to the London-based monitoring group, the air-defense system was deployed in the in the al-Mazar’a area in the outskirts of the town of al-Mayadin. The group said that the system was armed with “several missiles,” without providing any further details.

A few days after the deployed of the air-defense system, a convoy of 20 trucks carrying anti-aircraft guns and military equipment arrived in the Shrine of Ain Ali, which is also located near al-Mayadin. Iranian-backed forces guarding the area were placed on high-alert when the convoy arrived.

Iranian-backed Syrian and Iraqi forces maintain a large military presence in southern Deir Ezzor, especially in al-Mayadin and its outskirts. The US and Israel have carried out airstrikes on the area on many occasions over the last few years.

The Syrian Arab Air Defense Forces are not active in southern Deir Ezzor due to their limited resources. As a result of this, hostile warplanes can operate in the area with much freedom.

The IRGC appears to be building a complete air-defense network to protect its forces and allies in southern Deir Ezzor. Last week, a radar was deployed in the area, possibly to provide early warning.

Looks like the end game in Syria has started to kick out the US. When access denial is achieved, US troops are without air cover. Then it will get very messy.

Iran with the very smart policy of “strategic patience” has built a very formidable Axis of Resistance infrastructure in Syria and Iraq. Imagine the cajones of bringing in 20 truckloads of AD systems in broad daylight on the totally secure Tehran-Beirut resistance highway. The ZioCUNTS are just barking dogs.

Nothing strange if Iran want to protect assets in Syria. I’m not sure these reports are true but if it is then we might soon know how well they work. If true Iran could learn a thing or two if they get attacked a lot and maybe we will see attackers being shot down, at the same time other parties would get to know a lot more about Iran’s air defenses.

So much for Zionist cowards boasts for “expelling Iran from the region” ROFLMAO.

Highly unlikely. Iran is firmly entrenched in Syria :) Zionist diaper rash even lost to Hamas let alone Hezbollah.

Hitler calls a meeting of his best soldiers and commanders and tells them “Alright I want to order the assassination of one thousand jews and four hedgehogs.” Then one of his generals stands and says “But… Mein furhur why four hedgehogs?” Hitler then smiles and says “See? No one gives a f*ck about the jews.”

Re: your account handle. Appears a need to state the obvious – from what you posted seems likely you live in an actual ethno-religious state?! Do you not see the irony, and the stupidity in that?!

They just keep Israël from expanding in to Syria. Wich blocks the global agenda. Wich will create a much bigger conflict, because the clock is ticking..

So despite 10 years ‘israel’ of ‘striking Iranian targets in syria’ Iranian presence grows stronger everyday.

"Israel" is a terrorist NATO settler colony

Iran should use Syria as a weapons testing ground. It is ridiculous that they haven’t shot at any Israhelli planes yet.

These are force protection weapons and Iran is intent on defending its allies and interests.

Israel snipes from outside of Syrian air space using standoff weapons. They stay out of range of any weapons Iran has in Syria. Iran has nothing in Syria that can reach IAF aircraft and the SAA are under Russian ROE because the last thing they want is to give Israel / USA an excuse to widen the war.

I’m not sure Russia has even supplied them with missiles that can reach Israeli aircraft … they may only have been sold short range missiles that can only cover Syrian airspace. The SAA has had pretty good success shooting down IAF missiles and glide bombs though.

Iran likely IS trying to use Syria as a test bed … that’s what all those IAF air strikes are all about.

Very little is going well for the globlist American mutts and their Zionist masters.

Their power projection has been reduced to throwing their fast-food feces over your fence and soiling your garden where, tellingly, they are terrified to tread. And, yes, they can still make it difficult for you to clean up their mess.

Now isn’t that something for their trolls to admire?

Can they shoot down incoming missiles!! thats the question.

The USA controls the entire Iraq / Syrian border as well as Al-Tanf which was supposed to seal off the land routes between Syria and Iran to protect Israel.

The Israeli’s monitor and bomb Iranian positions weekly and say their spies know everything Iran is doing in Syria.

How did Iran get complete air defence systems plus ammo into Syria when the country is supposedly sealed off from Iran by Israel and the USA? You don’t do something like this overnight. It would have taken a huge airlift to get all the launchers, radars and command centers + the hundred or more specialized soldiers to run them.

There is no way a decent military intelligence system would have missed this kind of activity and you would think if the Israelis could have destroyed an air defence system by bombing they would have made it a priority.

Kinda begs the question as to whether IAF air strikes are for show to keep up moral at home and make Americans believe they have the omnipotent “tech” they thought they were paying for.
