Washington after DEBKAfile on Russian S-300s to Syria
“There are concerns” in Washington that Moscow may soon deliver S-300 air defense batteries to Syria, a US official told the Washington Post Thursday. That paper cites the Wall Street Journal as first out with this disclosure Wednesday evening. Not this time. Russia’s decision to supply Syria with these advanced air defense systems first appeared in DEBKAfile of Tuesday, May 7, at 2.19 pm IDT in its report on President Vladimir Putin’s phone call to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
