Turkey shipped MRAP Kirpi II and Vuran to Libya

59
The Government of National Accord (PNS), located in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, began to receive military assistance from Turkey, which they promised in a conversation with Faiz Sarraj the Turkish leader Erdogan. Earlier, the Turkish president promised to support the PNS in a confrontation with the Libyan national army, Field Marshal Haftar, to "prevent a plot against the Libyan people."

Turkey shipped MRAP Kirpi II and Vuran to Libya

Turkish Kirpi II in the port of Tripoli




18 May 2019, the ship arrived in the port of Tripoli, which brought a batch of new Turkish armored vehicles of the class MRAP Kirpi II and Vuran, intended to arm military units and tribes supporting PNS. The delivered armored vehicles are quite "fresh", since the first sample of Kirpi II armored car with the wheel formula 4х4 was first demonstrated in the 2017 year. The armored car can carry 13 people, including three crew members. Engine power - 370 HP Maximum speed - up to 100 km / h. Power reserve - 800 km. The second Vuran armored car was also shown in the 2017 year. Weight - 18,5 tons. Capacity - 11 military. On both machines installed combat modules with remote control. Armament - machine guns.

At the same time, the appearance of armored vehicles in the Libyan National Army Haftar, supplied by the United Arab Emirates (Panthera T6, Panthera F9) and the latest Al-Mared armored vehicles of Jordan production, is reported. The Jordanian armored car seats 10 people, including two crew members. Armament is installed depending on the tasks performed: from 12,7-mm machine guns to ATGM launchers.

Earlier it was reported that the Government of National Accord in Tripoli, planted by the UN and several European countries, has close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist group banned in Russia.

    Turkish President promised to support the PNC in the confrontation with the Libyan National Army of Field Marshal Haftar in order to "prevent a conspiracy against the Libyan people."
    Familiar template. All for the sake of the indigenous people. Everyone cares about the Libyans like a sheriff about the Indians.
    It’s a pity, the offensive on Tripoli was drowned. Haftar promised to hold a siege, cut off the supply of weapons.

      Everything is more complicated there. Firstly there was no offensive. Just draw a card. Haftar’s people just drove into the airport, which was abandoned. There is only one question: in the oil fields.

      Salam, fellow countryman! The article was in April 2017. The machine is based on the Tatra chassis of its own production.
      Erdogan of the Muslim Brotherhood. Naturally, his "bros" asked for help. But it is clear that someone is behind this playoff. Would the Turks and Jordanians lose their new cars if they weren't paid? Great question. Who needs it? The southern EU countries are interested in Libyan oil. The media reported on the clash of the special forces of France, Spain and Italy in Libya - are they allies in the EU ?! hi

          Article "The Jordanian Army will arm itself with an armored personnel carrier of its own design."
          Maybe Haftar himself started - tired of looking at this "viper" ?! There are Islamic radicals in the two sides. But as I understand it, Kaftar has them home-grown, and from the other side there are also aliens. But Haftar would not dare without external support. They wrote that the UAE is actively supporting him - they have lost something there. Or did you want to play a big role in the international arena? There is also the Jordanian Abdullah, who certainly has something to do at home (Jordan is not the richest country in the region, often depends on "handouts"). Consequently, Kaftar has a more powerful patron (the supply of the army must definitely be taken from somewhere). Opposition forces were supported by the West, which brought "aliens" there. Therefore, I think that someone else is supporting Haftar. The PRC had great interests and invested there. And maybe Russia - Haftar even visited the aircraft carrier. hi

      Yes, in general, it is not necessary to go deep into it. Saraj, the head of the NDP, no one in the Arab world loves, except for any IS and Al-Qaeda, since he is too obvious a "paw" of the United States, the WBR and Qatar. The Turks are partners and the "roof" of Qatar, and for his money they will supply Saraj with whatever they want. The Italians were promised oil and they represent the interests of the NDP in the EU.
      On the other hand, Haftar is supported by all more or less serious Arab players: Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, even the Saudis. And in many respects again in defiance of the "Evil dwarf" Qatar. Plus, France and Russia are solving their foreign policy and foreign economic (what to hide) tasks, being also on the side of Haftar.
      Israel sits aside and rubs the handles.
      In general, the "evening" ceases to be languid.

          The Jordanians, on the second machine, collaborated with Paramount for quite some time, they bought some cars now, they buy Maradera and Mombombe from Azerbaijan or Kazakhstan. Mombombe 8x8 also holds Barys in a circular 14.5, plus the ability to install additional plates and Dynamic protection, you Imagine the detonation of DZ BTR 60-82 can withstand it.

            The BTR-82A weighs 16 tons, 27 tons is clearly a reservation 2 times thicker. It’s easier to install a PT mine on a bookmark, the projectile requires either an observer with a radio or mobile communication channel, or to be smart with any additional fuse, push or magnetic, which is not easy. As far as I know, fishermen very rarely use military ammunition, as if civilian is much easier to steal, although, perhaps due to theft, more and more drafts are not used, but bulk or liquid explosives

          For ten years, the conflict and no one knows how to end. It’s like in Syria, even worse, in the sense of being interested in dividing the sea, where they found very large oil and gas reserves (up to 30% of the world’s known reserves). The fight is for every section of the coast for logistics and bases and the sea for drilling wells. The fight will be very fierce and Libya is the local site of this big fight. And yet, for Russia there is a huge danger in the form of competition when large-scale production from this sea occurs. It is no coincidence that more than 200 warships of 55 countries are here, each want chop off a piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9hf7419wBs

    I want to convey to our esteemed forum users on TOPVAR about the science of "conspiracy theology". There was NO war of Haftar against the PNS! Even the allegedly captured former airbases were abandoned long ago. The whole war took place only within the media. Therefore, the discrepancies: did he take the stadium
    al-kuns or did not take it ... Everyone joked a bit about the presence of three planes at Haftar and three at PNS, then calmed down .... It is not Haftar who decides the issues. He can trigger a firefight of course. But Arabs always shoot "milk". This is their "national game", not to hit a person, but to crush something, and if they hit, then "Allah is the Witness" ... Other people decide the questions, they either sit in the Euro-cabinets, or on Rublevka.

    Without diving into technical details. I recall that in the events of 08.08.08, Turkish armored cars delivered by Saakashvili’s army were also mentioned. And these armored cars were also supplied as know-how and a bunch of advanced technologies. But these armored cars were shot in Tskhinvali through the stern sheet and right through to the front sheet through the usual sniper rifle of the USSR. Are these armored cars from the same series? Can the Turks measure the penetration of armored vehicles by other standards?
