No, This Image Is Not Proof That Russia Deployed S-400 Advanced SAMs To Syria
Once again, this radar’s presence does not mean the S-300 is present, and it definitely does not mean the S-400 is present. It could provide a capable long-range search and track radar system to augment the pair of shorter-range systems close by.

Like so many other untrue reports out of Syria over the last few months, there is no information at this time that would point to Russia deploying any medium or long-range SAM systems to its base south of the Syrian port city of Latakia. This does not mean it is is not possible, but there is no public information to support such a claim, including the widely dispersed but improperly analyzed photo above.

just another swing and miss from the Daily Mail. The radar systems onsite are short range. And absolutely no proof of S400 missiles.
