Iran has recently seen Israel dominating them completely - in the skies far into Israel.

As far as I understand, in addition to the main targets, Israel also knocked out a good number of the air defense systems Iran had at the time.

Given russia can't even replace their own losses of sam systems I personally doubt that they are sending much to Iran.



Defending against missiles is much harder than defending against planes (be it normal ones or stealth ones). But you're not wrong, as they were supposed to be good at both, and they failed miserably against missiles.
