Continuing the attack on Tripoli, despite the US warning, the Libyan National Army (LNA) under the command of Khalifa Haftar seized a military base controlled by the forces of the National Accord Government (NPS) Faiz Saraj. This is reported in the statement LNA. published in social networks.

Huftar's army captured a military base from Tripoli and continues to compress the ring




According to published information, after a fierce fighting, Haftar’s army established control over a military base in the Al-Aziziya area 40 km from the Libyan capital. It is reported that "combat vehicles" were found on the territory of the base, but what is not explained. In addition, a few prisoners from groups loyal to NPCs have been announced.

It is also reported that in the Libyan capital itself, the forces of the Libyan National Army were able to seize 14 combat vehicles (again without decoding), along with their crews from the forces supporting Saraj.

Meanwhile, there are reports that the LNA has established control over a large part of the southeastern region of Ain Zara in the vicinity of Tripoli, which is of great strategic importance because of its proximity to the entrance to the Libyan capital. At the same time, clashes continue southwest of Tripoli in the Qasr bin Gashir region.

During the April 4 offensive, the Khalifa Haftar’s offensive took control of the towns of Garyan and Surman south of Tripoli and continued to attack the Libyan capital, ringing it.

Earlier, the Government of National Accord (PPS) Faiz Saraj announced the issuance of an arrest warrant for Huftar and his generals.

In 2011, during the civil war, the leader of the Libyan revolution, Muammar Gaddafi, was killed by insurgents, with devastating consequences for the country, both politically and economically. Currently, there are two governments in Libya: the PNS Prime Minister Faiz Saraj in Tripoli recognized by the international community and the interim Cabinet of Ministers Abdullah Abdurrahman Al-Thani, acting in the east of the country together with an elected parliament and supported by Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar in the east of the country.

                it has always been like that! During and especially after the Second World War, it rose, starting to milk Europe, placing its bases there to maintain its regime. They really liked this and since then they only do that they are trying to squeeze resources from anyone they can, and if the rulers of milking countries do not agree with them, they exchange them for those who are ready to sell their country, as it happened in Libya . Ukraine and Georgia do not count - here are not resources, but strategic interests directed exclusively against us. Our country for them has always been a tidbit for the collective West, but it always gets stuck in their throats, no matter how much they try! God willing, it will always be so!

          Toyota Hilux can already be considered a military brand no less than Hamvee or its civic brother Hammer. As for "they did not help", even a tank has practically no chances against aviation in an open area, not like this tin. But for wars of the Makhnovist type for the conventional "walk-field", the auto-tachanka is quite a weapon for itself, especially with three times the speed and maneuverability and four times more firepower than the classical cavalry.

      14 combat vehicles (again without decryption)
      Judging by the footage of recent days, it is also obvious that there are jeeps with machine guns, since they do not decipher. Haftar is already sympathetic to the fact that he has put on American warnings and is doing what he planned. And this probably infuriates the Americans the most. In Venezuela, they do not react to threats, and in Libya they also don’t become frustrated. What should the "hegemon" do in this case? This is not the first time Americans have received a resounding slap in the face from small countries.

        It is not desirable for Haftar to press the peaceful people and "friendly Nipisya" in street battles - this is his future electorate, and the losses are again higher in buildings. Therefore, it will lay siege and will for some time process it politically and morally, exhausting the defense with one-time injections and provoking an intra-Tripolitanian maidanchik or the evacuation of the "provisional government" into emigration. The latter is more than likely to be dumped by themselves, without waiting for them to be taken out to Haftara in a gift box.

            At this stage, Haftar needs to force the current government to leave Tripoli, not by means of fire, there will be no complete blockade, the option of leaving without a fight is a mandatory attribute of this plan. True, given the moral and immoral support of the collective West, those sitting in Tripoli are likely to leave the detachments, hiding behind civilians as hostages to portray the "bloody genocide" ("helmets" have already been clearly delivered to their destination), but the entire interim government together with " Kerensky "is already clearly and hastily trying on women's dresses.

      Two interesting reviews from Kassad on the state of the air forces of the two opposing sides in Libya.

      1) https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/4901802.html
      Libyan Air Force Tripoli (PNS).
      .... In December 2014, a group of specialists from the "Odessa Aircraft Repair Plant" arrived in the country, which began to restore aircraft technology. First of all, two MiG-23ML fighters were repaired and commissioned ..... In addition, work began on the restoration of two MiG-25 aircraft and one MiG-25 UB.



      ........ along with the outdated and rather worn-out aviation equipment of the Air Force, PNS supporters have serious problems with the personnel. The vast majority of pilots are elderly by flight standards, many over 50 years old. Some pilots who came to PNS aviation in the 2015 year were retired about this and did not fly for 15-20 years. In other matters, their opponents from the Libyan National Army of Haftar also face the same problem.


      2) https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/4909128.html
      Haftar Air Force
      ..... A huge role in the creation of the LNA Air Force was played by Egypt, the UAE and Russia. Egypt handed over to Haftar several combat-ready MiG-21 fighters, bringing their total number to 17. Russian specialists were engaged in the restoration of the armament of the Marshal MiG-23ML, in addition, spare parts for repair of aircraft were delivered from Russia. The UAE purchased in the Czech Republic and Belarus 11 Mi-24В helicopters (export name Mi-35). In addition, Haftar was armed with Mi-8 helicopters, which, along with the functions of transport vehicles, could fulfill the tasks of percussion.


      LNA Air Force at the parade in Benghazi. Noticeable 2 MiG-23, 2 MiG-21, 2 Su-22, 2 Mirage-F1 and two Mi-35

      ........ Tripoli authorities actually missed the opportunity to inflict significant damage on the Haftar units that pulled ahead, which, moving on off-road vehicles, broke away from the main forces, and therefore from air defense cover. On April 7, the LNA pulled up to the Libyan capital of the Kvadrat air defense system, and the strengthening of the aviation group began. The qualitative superiority of the Air Force Marshal over opponents is obvious. In the morning of April 8, the use of aviation by the parties was reduced, however, by the evening of the LNA Air Force attacked the Mitig PNS airbase using the MiG-21. If, for political reasons, the conflict is not “frozen,” we should expect further airstrikes by the Haftar Air Force on enemy airfields.

      But now Haftar pulled up the main echelon, unloaded Tanks and artillery. And there is nothing to stop.
