The battle of Tripoli: Turkish army suffered losses in Libya

86

Turkish President Recep Erdogan announced the losses suffered by the Turkish army in Libya. According to recent reports, we are talking about a clash between the Turkish military and the Libyan national army of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar.

According to Erdogan, the Turkish contingent lost several people killed and wounded. The exact number is not reported. At the same time, the Turkish leader claims that the Haftar’s armed groups suffered "huge losses" - "almost a hundred mercenaries."



According to Turkish media, the military contingent of Turkey entered the battle with the forces of the LNA near Tripoli. According to some reports, the fighting was carried out in the vicinity of the airport of the Libyan capital.

Recep Erdogan states that the Turkish army in Libya acts "to protect the UN-recognized government (the government of Fayez Saraj) and will not allow the situation to be overthrown." An interesting statement. Especially against the background of what is happening in Syria. If Ankara cares so much about protecting the governments recognized by the UN, then why does it support anti-government armed groups in the Syrian Arab Republic?

Recall that at the moment, Libya is actually not a single state entity. And the NATO invasion led to this, the result of which was the overthrow of the power of Muammar Gaddafi (at that time, by the way, the power of Gaddafi was recognized by the UN as legitimate).

      Imha.
      In Syria, Erdogan wants Turkey’s loyal Turkoman and land to act as if acting in the Donbas and in Libya as the Russian Federation in Syria, and he aims to become the leader of the Middle East. But there are a lot of nuances, the same Iran may not like it very much and the Russian Federation as ..... Well, maybe like an arbiter and a mediator in the field of interests, but the arbitrator must also have big fists if necessary ..... Cool hot heads.

            Let Adjara take himself. Then Tbilisi will have something to do, otherwise they only do what they are preparing for the Russian invasion, and they will drink blood mattresses in revenge for the fact that they are arming the Kurds. The majority of Adzharians are Muslims and they are not looking very badly towards Turkey, so here it’s going to burn out faster than in Idlib and Libya, because here the interests of international players do not overlap.

            "Polite people" (there were very few of them, only a few dozen people) appeared in Crimea only in the late evening of February 26, and before that all roads in Crimea and military units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were blocked and blocked by posts of volunteers, mostly retired servicemen from Sevastopol, I was one of them. Until February 27, the Black Sea Fleet made attempts to take part, but they were stopped by the Ukrainian militia halfway and returned to Sevastopol. But at the end of February we were really strengthened and partially replaced by units of the Russian Armed Forces.

              Roman, so I'm talking about the same thing. Only in Syria, Turkomans act as volunteers, and Erdogan is trying to beat this.
              When the Turks shot down a plane from the ground, our pilots shot just the Turkoman and the pilot’s body was given to us through the Turks. So the Turks have long been trying to win back their card, but they are far from GDP.

Only by honing your weapons skills in real conditions can you stay on the cutting edge of military affairs. It is necessary to study the experience of others, to develop their own countermeasures, but all weaknesses appear in real conditions, where life and actions change daily.

      Now Turkey, with the help of the USA, has serious economic problems and only a major military conflict can somehow explain this to voters and support Erdogan’s ratings. Secondly, before Turkey pushed back Kurdish terrorists from its borders, it had serious problems. Remember at least the situation in the border areas of Turkey 3-5 years ago. There explosions and attacks occurred almost every month.

          All Western allies moved away in Libya from direct participation in hostilities, and Erdogan thought he was smarter than others. So I got it in my brain. Few will still be. negative

      Such a scenario is likely.
      Only it is unlikely that Turkey’s policy will change much after that.
      Pro-American forces will come to power. And they will do the same thing, only already under the control and leadership of the United States.

    If Ankara cares so much about protecting the governments recognized by the UN, then why does it support anti-government armed groups in the Syrian Arab Republic?

    Rake unequivocally and more than once!

    Remember the comrade when the Turks only invaded the territory of Syria, how their armor burned. Only by honing your weapons skills in real conditions can you stay on the cutting edge of military affairs. It is necessary to study the experience of others, to develop their own countermeasures, but all weaknesses appear in real conditions, where life and actions change daily.

    PS.
    I am not at all surprised by the appearance in the armies of developed countries of unmanned "shahidmobiles".

    Well, as long as Libya smells of petrodollars, military fuss will continue.
    I recall a report from Libya when the war of the West against Gaddafi was just beginning.
    In this report, the Libyan spoke about his life under Gaddafi. I have everything, he said, a wonderful house, a good job, a high salary, a big family, I don’t need anything, but life is kind of boring and therefore I am against Gaddafi and want to change my life ... fool

        If the youth thought, it would be calmer. Western propaganda does not allow her to think and uses proven methods of influencing the streets and squares - "emotions and trust."
        And now, with this "network" through the bulk and other network structures, it drives everyone out onto the street.

    The most important question, thanks for the reminder! It is unlikely that ours will be cut off with the Turks in Syria, but their help to the barmaley is pretty tired! It is not out of pocket that such a concern, and the Barmalean transit by the Turks to Libya, too, does not look very clean. Looks like the east is really a delicate matter!

    Major Sinan Kaferle, Colonel Okan Altınay and Major General of the Armed Forces of Turkey Halil Soysal.

    Presumably they accompanied military cargo from Turkey for militants fighting in Libya.
