It's radar cross section is too high. Gen IV Stealth is what can break Syria and Iran's SAM and detection nets.

Syria has one of the baddest anti-air systems going right now. Missiles and radar are cheaper than planes. They're defensive in nature and Syria and Iran bluff Offense real well but can't force project.
