“Barefoot, but with a machine gun”: on the net they are ironic over the staged photo of “heroes of the PNS” in Libya

Photos published on the network by representatives of the so-called Libyan National Accord government forces are ridiculed by military experts and ordinary users. In the photographs next to the dilapidated infrastructure destroyed by the Libyan national army equipment, young people are posing in the best (from a combat point of view) case with a small arms weapons in hand. At the same time, captions for photos on social networks of the PNS are distinguished by special bravado.

A few examples:

It was they who defeated the forces of the renegade Haftar.

Young Libyan guys skillfully resist a powerful force that has foreign weapons and equipment, including military Aviation.

In one of the photos there are three “heroes” of the PNS. Of these, two are in shoes, and one of them has rubber slippers on its feet, which are often called “flip flops” in Russia.

The most brutal is the one on the left. Hanging a Soviet-made machine gun around his neck, he offers to believe that he “destroyed the enemy barefoot” a few seconds ago. And he ran around the territory of the scorched object, studded with fragments of concrete and metal fragments. Moreover, none of the “heroes” even has a scratch, not to mention traces of more serious injuries.

Even Turkish users are ironic over this photo, most of which, as you know, PNS supports. A few comments in the Turkish segment of social networks:

Barefoot, but with a machine gun

As I understand it, these are Tripoli's most combat-ready forces. Production photo

Meanwhile, there are reports of the use of Khalifa Haftar Air Force aircraft against the accumulation of PNS equipment. South of Tripoli, near Al-Karabuli, an air convoy destroyed a convoy of vehicles with weapons.

Two slippers and one tramp.
What’s up with the burning Turkish frigate? Sank? And then everything is somehow muddy.

[Pug]

Haftara began to peck informationally .. Familiar patterns white helmets provocateurs!
Soon, the chemical weapons of Mumar Gaddafi will appear (in Haftar) and again there will be a bombing .. Is this the thing?

[Invoce]

The war is not only on the battlefield, but in the media space. Judging by the picture, a group of boys whitewashed the marshal and his armed forces.
- And foreign mercenaries?
- what are you talking about? There was no one but the students who defeated the marshal's troops!
Conclusion:
In Libya, the people are against Haftar, the marshal’s troops are not ready at all, Haftar is not worth supporting, because youth and people against him ...

[donavi49]

Well, the Hussites are barefoot too. I think no one has any doubt that they are fighting, and not just media?

[Thrifty]

Hausites look like fighters, not like a chantrop. ..

[saigon]

Slippers, that’s okay, but where is the ammunition? You can’t see the pouches, unloading, and this is after the battle, ammo and grenades in my pockets probably.

cartridges and grenades in my pockets probably.

... it’s even scary to imagine where they hide them ...

[Interlocutor]

That's why these boobies have a multi-million dollar technology and harness))))))))))))))))).

In Libya, dozens of tribes and clan associations
Where did you see the people there?
Today, these young people are against him, tomorrow will be - in favor, in a week will go to fight in Tunisia for money. Barefoot.
Here is such a people ...

You conducted a survey among the people and made such a conclusion? And how did you determine who is the people and who is not the people?
Do not forget that on the opposite side there are people too. The same Libyans and the same youth. Or do not you relate them to the people?

[Retvizan 8]

Oh, why are you right the word how small!
Well, three "woodpeckers" got out to beat the show.
No brainer that they didn’t fight like that
Once you fly into a piece of broken brick, you don’t need any anti-personnel mine, the injury is provided.)))

[Jack O'Neill]

Once you fly into a piece of broken brick, you don’t need any anti-personnel mine, the injury is provided.)))

Maybe the guys have been running barefoot since childhood, and there will be such blisters for such a long time that jump at least for a mine, at least for a broken brick.

Majors are some kind. The clothes are clean, they themselves are not weathered, sleek ... These will fight

[Kote Pan Kokhanka]

Advertising for LG air conditioners!

[Thrifty]

Well, no one canceled such a thing as self-PR! Simply, this is how “heroes” appear to raise the rating in the armed forces of the armed opposition to Haftar, the so-called “government of national salvation” who knows what is only salvation. For, Libya has already "escaped" from Gaddafi, who will be next is still unknown.

[Slavs]

As a child, we did not climb into the collective farm garden in spanking - running is not convenient)) In the worst case, sandals, but they could also fail - with intense movement, they could break ... But sneakers did not fail ...)
It’s probably hard to fight barefoot ...

[sergo1914]

It’s strange. In a comment about trophies from the air base, I wrote about slippers - they furiously fussed me.

[Stirbjorn]

The fact remains that Haftar’s troops are retreating ... doesn’t it all matter, the guys in the photo, barefoot and without scratches, defeated him, or some others, in berets and all wounded - does it really matter, it changes something, especially for citizens of the Russian Federation. Some kind of pointless article

[Zeev Zeev]

And no one thought that it could be the same soldiers on vacation after the fighting, or just left-handed tourists who asked the soldiers for weapons for pictures?

We thought so))

[hydrox]

Ага.
Libya is now the most attractive place to get acquainted with the sights of the Arab East, especially for wealthy foreign tourists who are used to walking barefoot!

[Zeev Zeev]

Not rich and not foreign. Local majors from Tripoli, who came for photos.

[hydrox]

What, the smiley at the end of the comment is not over the eyes?
N-yes ... And in Russia, the majors are rolled out on Porsches and Mercs ...
Look, today one more crashed into a pole - Merce soft-boiled, and such a cheerful major, bills are lying around on asphalt!

[Alex 2020]

With PPS, you need to take an activated coal or an infusion of oak bark

[Ilyas Zaripov]

clean, washed ... you can immediately see that just from the trenches

[yustas]

So the trenches are democratic) this is not ours, sovdepovskie)
