AFRICOM: Russians repainted Hmeimim airplanes before being sent to Libya

The US African military command continued to publish data that, according to AFRICOM, testifies to the transfer of Russian fighter and bombers to one of the Libyan airfields. Recall that on the eve of the African military command of the United States presented a series of images, which are designated as "evidence of the flight of the Russian air forces in Libya." Then the American General Townsend announced that Russia "there is no point in hiding its military presence in Libya."

It is noteworthy that the statements of AFRICOM are very vague commented on at the Pentagon. The spokesman for the department, Jonathan Hoffman, said he could not say for sure how many planes were flown to Libya. According to Hoffman, "about 14." At the same time, the official representative of the US Department of Defense did not use the term "Russian Air Force", but used the option "Russian aircraft", which can be regarded as "Russian-made aircraft."

Now AFRICOM claims that Russia allegedly first transferred the Su-24 and MiG-29 to Syria - at the Khmeimim airbase, where "the Russians repainted them, hiding the identification marks of the Russian air forces," and then sent them to Libya.

"Drawing" the route of the planes, the US African command claims that the fighters and bombers allegedly refueled in the Libyan-controlled Tobruk pro-Haftar forces, and only then arrived at Al-Jufra base.

It turns out that AFRICOM contradicts itself, because the day before they published a photo with a fighter, in the tail of which a five-pointed star was visible. Really "underrepainted" on "Hmeimim"? ..

Yes, they all know, they can do everything, only we don’t want to defeat terrorists.

Well, it's nice - the main thing is that the Libyans pay for this delivery, and it would not be our next "humanitarian aid".

Why repainted? A bit, not stolen. It is in America that stolen cars are always repainted so that the real owner does not get upset when he sees a completely stranger driving around in his car.

[Revolver]

Quote: Nikolai Korovin

in America, stolen cars always repaint

Not at all, sir. Or they take it apart for spare parts - it might be wild for someone, but a car as a set of spare parts costs several times more than it is assembled. Or they shove it into a container and send it to where the local authorities do not bother much about the origin of the car. In particular, the Caribbean and Latin America, primarily Mexico.

[Nikolai Korovin]

Yes, I just quoted Ilf and Petrov. This is due to the repainting of the "Wildebeest". I just look - colleagues are joking about this repainting. Let me, I think, do my bit for the widow.

[Revolver]

Yes, I remembered the quote, just decided to write how it really is. And the widow’s mite is already out of date. Now make 2 (two) cents.

Libya was the richest country, and not all accounts are still closed - for some reason I think that Gaddafi took care of this. So this is not Israel, which can only live on an American freebie - these can pay for our supplies.

You want to say that the German freebie is bigger?
And yes, the phrase "only for the American" is incorrect, there are many sources of funding.
With regard to this supply, the sponsors of the Hawtor are the UAE, so financing is more likely from there.
And it’s not at all a fact that deliveries are from Russia. Moreover, Russian sources refute this. The planes are most likely just Egyptian and flown for convenience. Too quickly after the defeat, they appeared there.
And the statements of the United States, this is a common game to break and oppose Russia and Turkey - pinch their national pride. We do not need aggravation with Turkey. They too.
But there are interested people, that's what they are trying.
The UAE can order any weapon, even in Russia, at least in the secondary market. And at the same time they do not bother about the embargo and other conventions.
We will not interfere with their work.
And Egypt threatened to bomb Turkish ships if it did not leave Libya by troops and withdraw its proxies.
... And why should not Egypt keep its word and not execute threats?

[bayard]

And why does the editor print the Havtor all the time, and not the Havtor?

Some of the Libyan gold reserve is located in the Russian Federation. It's a hint.

This is exactly what can be, given how Gaddafi was accepted with a tent in the Kremlin - gold is not only stored in Swiss banks.
But most likely this may be due to our obligations to supply weapons to Libya:

It is military cooperation, apparently, that will become the main topic at the talks in Moscow. A breakthrough in Russian-Libyan relations occurred in April this year, when Putin came to Libya for a visit. He signed an agreement to write off $ 4,5 billion dollars more Libyan Soviet debts. It was this debt that restrained relations between Moscow and Tripoli after the collapse of the USSR. Of course, Putin wrote off Gaddafi's debts for a reason. The Libyans promised to purchase weapons from us and participate in projects with Russian companies, in particular, with Gazprom and Russian Railways. True, most of the obligations of the Libyan leader have not yet been fulfilled. Today, Medvedev just has to give acceleration to the promises of Tripoli.

Well, at least the fact that Erdogan will not be fixed there. Oddly enough, the interests of several Arab countries, the Russian Federation, coincide in this, and it seems as though somewhere flashed by, as did Israel too.

SU24 is still a cancellation. MIG 29 is also not much left before cancellation. Yes, if the emirates and the Egyptians pay generally well.

Something the star looks like Hollywood stars, which, as a rule, screen artists from Hollywood draw on the technique of the "aggressor", and not the identification marks of the VKS ..

[GMM]

And what is the difference, is it less or more five-pointed?
Or is she just a star?

[GMM]

It’s clear that there is a whole sect on the site who deny the obvious things, I have already come to terms with this.
But how can the star in the central picture differ from the other two - I can’t imagine.
But the court on the minuses I have higher - on the site there is a galaxy of star stars from God ...

[Skay]

But how can the star in the central picture differ from the other two

As for me, it’s one and a half times larger and the white border is not visible.

[GMM]

Although I agree.
It's no secret that NATO has our MiG-29s. They lifted him into the sky and photographed with an infrared camera. Then, hackers in Photoshop drew a star.
And it turned out a photo of the MiG 29 in the night sky with a star and which they want to pass off as our plane.
But you won’t lead us on the chaff! This is not our plane!
The star is not like that and the pilot is not of a Slavic appearance and the sky is typical for NATO countries ....

I have never heard that there are Russian MiG-29s in Syria, Sushki - yes, 24,25,35 maybe thirty, but I'm not sure. But in Syria there are MiG-29 Syrian

[alexmach]

Here is something that doesn’t bother them :).

I have never heard that there are Russian MiG-29s in Syria

Syria has its own MiGs, only the Syrians themselves probably need their MiGs.
In general, the story is interesting with airplanes. If they were not there, neither the Americans would have yelled already that way, nor Hataf would have walked revealingly. But whose are they, who could just put them off the gentleman’s shoulder like that, along with the SU-24, and also modern ammunition?

And another interesting question - who is piloting them?

A quick look at Wikipedia. In addition to Russia, the Mig-29 and Su-24 are simultaneously operated by Algeria, Iran, Syria, as well as Azerbaijan and should be stored in Belarus.

I think Belarus and Azerbaijan can be immediately discarded. They have few and not even in service.
Syria - as it was said above, is fighting, it is not up to deliveries to third countries.
And there are only 2 options left. Who, according to the rumors of Hataf, supported it? Algeria say?

[alexmach]

Yes, well, and I'm almost 100% sure that this is not Russia, why should Russia climb into Libya? Why quarrel with the Turks again? After all, there are a lot of interesting people there.

[Oquzyurd]

Algeria supports Saraj. There will be constitutional amendments in Algeria the other day, allowing for the first time in 50 years to use its troops outside the country. There is a chance that Saraj will also invite them to help ..

[donavi49]

Who, according to the rumors of Khataf, supported it? Algeria say?

Algeria for Tripoli. Even for the first time in history, they carried out maneuvers of the Navy with Turkey, just at Libya tripoletansky.

[alexmach]

Interestingly, then my assumption was wrong ...

[Prisoner]

When repainted, the hand did not rise to see the star. Quite mattress floated. Neither will you make a coup, nor will you drive it away. And the public will mix it with guaido, then it’ll be general without showing even a bit of respect.

[Charik]

“The Americans repainted their planes at their base to match the Russian paintwork,” I said. “There is no point in hiding their military presence in Libya,” I also think so, because there are military men from many countries of the world, they are of course hiding, but anyway, it becomes clear that there were, and then again they will laugh at "ichtamnet".

[Johann Klassen]

But for some reason, Israeli mercenaries from the IDF and from the special services are in no hurry to make public their participation in the murder of civilians in the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics, in the ranks of the Ukrainian "dobrobats".
Or the crimes of Israeli professional mercenaries, does not fall under articles on war crimes that do not have a statute of limitations.
By the way, the Israelis do not even hide their participation in punitive operations on the side of the "Ukrainian fascists" against the civilian population and the militia of the People's Republics.

[Charik]

as I say, all sorts of military men are involved in various conflicts, hiding or not, it’s still recognized or maybe not, so there’s no sense in unlocking, it’s like Icht (they probably put minuses for this word)

[Charik]

This nozzle from the Su24? On MiG31 similar.

[Dmitry Makarov]

It’s just that American pigs bought MiGs from the vassals and slaves, and are trying to cast a shadow over Great and Mighty Russia.
But today the Russians and Turks are brothers, brothers in Arms and other Economic interests.
