Indeed. But that's an official version. If you look at tech specs of Russian air defense systems in Syria, you will see they have an outspoken military functionаlity. E.g. SA-17 intercepts USAF ALCM's with a 70%-80% probability from 26 km and the same probability for F-15 from 50 km. As I said above, I don't think that Syrian Islamists have anything of those.
