Israeli airline El Al suddenly canceled several flights to Moscow, causing a lot of speculation. Citing “operational difficulties,” the company did not disclose details, but the decision coincided with reports of Israeli military successes in Iran and the possible destruction of advanced Russian air defense systems.

Journalist Sergei Auslander covered this topic in detail, suggesting a connection between flight cancellations and military tensions.

Sergey Auslander takes a detailed look at the recent unexpected cancellation of Israeli airline El Al flights to Moscow. He points to unclear reasons and operational difficulties that the company has cited as an explanation, leaving passengers without specific details. This event turned out to be resonant, since El Al flights to Russia have been one of the company's most profitable lines for many years.

Auslander notes that for El Al the Moscow direction has always been a “gold mine”, bringing significant profits. Tickets were expensive, and flights were almost always packed to capacity. In the face of a shortage of alternative destinations, ticket prices to Moscow have risen so much that they sometimes exceed the cost of flights to New York and Los Angeles, which, according to Auslander, only emphasizes the importance and profitability of this route for the airline.

However, the sudden cancellation of the flights, as Auslander notes, coincided with the emergence of rumors and reports that the Israeli Air Force carried out a successful attack on Iran and may have destroyed the Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense systems that were installed in Iran. The very fact of such operations, if confirmed, carries reputational risks for Russian weapons, which may affect their export attractiveness. These circumstances could indicate possible diplomatic negotiations between Israel and Russia, Auslander suggests, and could be a potential reason for the temporary suspension of flights for the safety of passengers.

Sergei Auslander describes the Israeli Air Force's strike on Iranian targets, where, according to his data, Russian S-300 systems were destroyed. Despite the official ban on S-400 supplies to Iran, there are rumors that these systems were secretly delivered. There is no confirmation, but if the reports are true, this is a serious blow to the reputation of Russian weapons.

“If Israel really destroyed the S-400 systems, then this is monstrous anti-advertising for Russian weapons,” writes Sergei Auslander.

Elimination of “unique” Russian air defense systems: S-300 and S-400

The S-300 and S-400 systems have been repeatedly touted as “the best in the world,” and Moscow has long promoted them in international markets. However, a series of successes by Israel and Ukraine in eliminating them has undermined confidence in these technologies:

  • Ukrainian successes: The cruiser Moskva and several S-400s were destroyed by the Ukrainian armed forces.
  • Israeli strikes: Israel allegedly managed to destroy several Russian air defense systems in Iran without losses.

Secret negotiations between Israel and Russia?

Auslander suggests that Israel could use the situation to put pressure on Russia. Moscow is interested in Jerusalem not disclosing the facts of the destruction of its S-400 systems. However, Israel is likely to demand significant concessions in exchange for silence.

Why are flights to Moscow suspended?

The reasons for the cancellation of El Al flights to Moscow remain unknown, but there are several possible versions:

  • Operational Security: Perhaps Israel fears for the safety of its citizens in Russia amid worsening relations.
  • Political signal: The cancellation may be part of covert diplomacy related to Israel's latest military successes in Iran.
