S-500 only went into production this year and with sanctions in place not sure how many they will be able to build (if any) with their supply chain in tatters.

And given that Israel has been running around Syria with their F-35s being undetected by the S-400 not sure how much confidence anyone should have in Russian claims.

Have you considered that maybe just maybe Russia is not keen on starting a kinetic war with Israel? Not shooting down doesn't mean not detected.

Also, Russia has already delivered some S-500s into service. Their supply chains might be strained, but they are still functioning & mostly domestic sourced.

That doesn't make any sense.

You don't deploy billions of dollars worth of infrastructure in Syria just to leave it switched off.
