Russian plane disappears from radars during Israeli attack on Syria’s Latakia – MoD

You're kidding me, right?

Russia has 20 surface ships in the area, including a cruiser, its own highly modern stealth frigates, and goodness knows how many submarines including the improved Kilo-class (said to be the quietest in the world). It has about two to three dozen heavy jets in Syria alone, dozens of strategic bombers capable of reaching Syria in minutes, and one of the world's largest air forces stationed not far from Syria among which are MiG-31Ks carrying Kinzhal missiles. There are also Bastions, S-400s, and many radar systems covering the area.

But sure I guess they can't sink a single mediocre cruiser and would be "buggered" in a shooting match with it
