Putin personally notified Assad of the decision to transfer the S-300 SAM to the Syrians.
On Monday, September 24, a telephone conversation took place between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar Assad. According to the press service of the Kremlin, the conversation took place on the initiative of the Syrian side.
The Kremlin's official report says that Assad once again expressed his deep condolences in connection with the death of 15 Russian servicemen who were aboard an IL-20 aircraft shot down by Syrian air defense on September 17.
Putin informed Assad about the decision to implement a number of additional measures to ensure the safety of Russian troops in Syria and to strengthen the country's air defense system, including the transfer to the Syrians of the modern S-300 surface-to-air missile system, the Kremlin press service reported.
It should be noted that the Kremlin's message refers specifically to the transfer, and not to Syria's sale of the S-300 air defense system.

Russia deploys powerful Electronic warfare equipments in Syria , prepares for Shipping 8 S300 airdefence along with S400 systems to strengthen SYRIA AIRDEFENCES
Russian electronic warfare equipment intended to disrupt airstrikes has arrived in Syria as Moscow moves rapidly to boost air defenses for its ally Damascus, according to Russian media reports Tuesday.
After a Russian plane was shot down by Syrian air defenses last week as they tried to repel an Israeli airstrike, Moscow said it would provide Syria with its advanced S-300 missile system as well as send jamming technology to the region, a move that has alarmed Israel and the US.
According to the Moscow-based Izvestia daily newspaper, the electronic warfare equipment arrived at Hmeimim Air Base near Latakia on Monday, aboard Il-76 transport aircraft. The paper cited sources familiar with the delivery.

Without detailing exactly what was sent, the sources noted that the systems were intended to disrupt airborne radar, aircraft communication and controls and satellite navigation systems used in attack jets, drones and guided munitions.
Operators will be able to project a protective “radioelectonic dome” over hundreds of kilometers over Syria and along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the report said.
Hmeimim is the main air base used by Russian forces in Syria supporting the regime in its battle to end the country’s civil war. It is the base at which the Ilyushin Il-20 plane was attempting to land when it was brought down by the Syrian defenses, killing all 15 crewmen.
Russia already has its own S-300 air defense system in Syria, along with the more advanced S-400 system.The Kommersant newspaper reported Tuesday that Russia intends to send two to four S-300 batteries to Syria. If necessary, the deployment will be increased to six to eight units, sources told the newspaper.
An agreement between Russia and Syria will see the surface-to-air missile batteries provide protection for facilities on the Mediterranean coast, as well as the Syria’s borders with Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq, the report said. Sources said the missile systems could be operational within two weeks.
The electronic warfare systems and S-300s are expected to complicate Israel’s ongoing efforts — which have included numerous airstrikes — to prevent Iran deepening its military presence in Syria and to thwart the transfer of weapons in Syria to Hezbollah.
Israeli fighter jets conducted the September 17 airstrike on a weapons facility in the coastal city of Latakia that the IDF said was going to provide weapons to the Hezbollah terror group and other Iranian proxies.
Both Jerusalem and Washington warned Russia on Monday against providing Syria with the S-300s, saying the move would further destabilize the region and increase already high tensions.
The Kremlin had earlier issued a devastating critique of Israel over the downing of the Russian plane, accusing Israel’s air force of “premeditated actions” and warning the incident would harm relations between the two countries.

Russia gave that S-300 battery to improve Assad's situational awareness in the sky so that he won't shoot down again another Russian plane!
S-300 is pretty useless against Israel and NATO forces who already mastered that tech.

Apparantly it was not a dud for it shot down Russia's spy plane in a Hail Mary shot. But S-200's rsdsr does not sppear to be sophisticated enough to distinguish Russizn from Israeli planes.
