Well, it is true that if the UN found radar arrays they would report it. Still, Syria is overestimating their chances if they think such such systems can save them. The most forward radars do is give you time to prepare (as they did for the RAF 70 years ago). The problem for Syria is that their air defense squadrons stink compared to the IAF, nor do they have a truly robust SAM capability. And those radars only would warn of the first wave, after which they’d be knocked off the air by the HARMs we’ve supplied to Israel.
