Russia has completed a comprehensive air defense system in Syria that constrains the United States’ ability to operate in the country and in the eastern Mediterranean, according to a new report published by the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report paints a stark picture of increasing Russian entrenchment in Syria as Putin and the west have squared off in recent days over\u00a0naval confrontations in Ukraine<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Russian moves include the deployment of S-300 and S-400 missiles and other weapons systems as well as electronic warfare capabilities in Syria. Underlying the Kremlin’s efforts, the report claims, is a wider push to force American troops to withdraw from Syria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Syrian deployments will also severely limit Israel’s ability to launch strikes against Iranian forces in the country. Syrian media claimed that\u00a0Israel targeted Iranian-backed militias in al-Kiswah south of the capital of Damascus<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, some 50 kilometers from the border with Israel, on Thursday evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The US and Israel both must be prepared to suppress a larger number of air defense systems and use more expensive stealth aircraft such as the F-35 in Syria,” the ISW’s report said.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the Russian strategy also has profound implications for US power projection throughout the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Russia stands to gain a long-term strategic advantage over NATO through its new capabilities in Syria,” the report’s authors write. “The US and NATO must now account for the risk of a dangerous escalation in the Middle East amidst any confrontation with Russia in Eastern Europe.”<\/span><\/p>\n
