On the plus side nobody on my grapevine believes the story that the Russians gave Hezbollah one of their awesome air defense systems (The Russians are far and away the best in the world at this).

No, the Russians have a lot of air defense systems but they aren't all that great. The ones Syria had to cover Hezbollah, who had none other than possibly a few MANPADS, were obsolescent export models that were older systems and easily defeated using electronic warfare and HARMs.
