US-backed SDC says Syria's acquirement of S-300 system is a positive development


The deployment of Russia’s S-300 air defense systems to Syria will strengthen the Syrian government’s defenses and be a positive development, the head of US Mission of the Syrian Democratic Council, the political wing of the Syrian Democratic Forces, told Sputnik.

"We don’t have any concerns about [the S-300 systems]. I think it is up to the Syrian government and the Russian government … They have the deal between themselves and they support Syria with the S-300. I think this is will [strengthen] the defense of the Syrian government [against] any threat to it. It is not bad," Sinam Mohamad said.

On October 2, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that Russia had completed its delivery of new S-300 systems to Syria, including 49 units of systems-related equipment such as radars, basic target acquisition systems, command posts and four launchers.
