Syrian complex "Carapace-C1" is not able to reflect the impact of the Israeli Spike missile, because it does not fit for the destruction of these missiles, It is the opinion of Russian expert Konstantin Makienko.
On Thursday, the Israeli military agency published a video destruction Spike NLOS missile anti-aircraft complex "Carapace-1", during the recent Israeli attack on Syria.
But “Carapace C-1” just not intended to protect against Spike. The same anti-tank missile, launched from ground-based. A “shell” optimized for air targets, and not by anti-tank missiles, expert said. The expert, as it appears, I did not have time to get acquainted with video, talking about, that ZRPK not even been in a combat-ready position.
During the Israeli attack on the positions of the Syrian army at the foot of the Golan Heights, obviously, It used not only aviation. Likely, They were involved and ACS Pereh Israeli production. They, just, equipped with missiles Spike NLOS. Flight range "Spike" - to 25 km. Settlement Khan Arnab, near which it was destroyed "Carapace", located on the border with the Golan Heights. I.e, Israeli self-propelled gun could easily "covered" Syrian complex.
Nor can we rule out such an option, in which the complex was not alerted. maybe, there and the crew did not have at this point. With the sudden approaching missile complex could not repel, He suggested the ex-commander of the 4th Air Army, Air Force and Air Defense Valery Gorbenko. Namely, it is confirmed by the Israeli video.
This option previously considered and Russian media. It noted, that the video frames is clearly seen, as the Syrian officer ran to the car and ran up in time for the approaching missile.
Besides, Israel's Defense Ministry reported about the destruction during the attacks of anti-aircraft complexes "Buk-M1-2", C-200 and C-75.
The press service said, that the attack was a response to Syria's attempts to bring down Israeli planes.
