Russian Buk air defense systems will protect Haftar airbase from Turkish F-16s

Al-Jufrah's Libyan National Army (LNA) airbase is currently being strengthened by Russian-made Buk systems, which were previously brought into a war-torn country.

The Buk medium-range anti-aircraft missile systems (M1-2 or M2) are being transferred to the Al-Jufra air base to protect it from air strikes by Turkish F-16 fighters! There are still based several systems "Shell-C1E" of the UAE army

- said military expert Babak Tagway on Tuesday.



According to the publication Defenseworld.net, it is not yet clear who sent the Buk systems to the Libyan air base. According to him, last week the Pentagon accused Russia of sending at least 14 fighters (MiG-29, Su-35) to Libya to help PMCs.

Against this background, Turkey, supporting opponents of the LNA, sent a C-16 Hercules transport aircraft, accompanied by F-130 fighters, transporting mercenaries to fight the forces of Khalifa Haftar.

Apparently, the experience of the combat use of the short-range shell "Shell" in Libya demonstrated the need to operate the complex together with more long-range products. Without them, the chance of hitting the system increases significantly. The “shell” of the “Shell” will become the “Buk”, at least within the framework of the objective air defense.

            Finally, after some years there, and irreparable losses, we realized that the air defense should be layered system...

            After all, it is obvious, and for a long time, that the Pantsir air defense system, no matter how good it is,by oneself, effectively fighting fighters equipped with long-range air-to-ground missiles and hordes of UAVs is extremely difficult, and sometimes simply impossible ...

            Medvedev was not the last resort, and his team did not very much influence such decisions ... after all, there was GDP, members of the Security Council (Patrushev, Bortnikov, Naryshkin, etc.), i.e. there were many people who influenced and influence politics The Russian Federation is much stronger than Medvedev ... therefore throwing all the responsibility on DAM is wrong.

          Malyuta .....I'm very sorry, but Gaddafi would be alive if, to put it mildly, MIGs, SU, BUKs and Pantsiri were supplied on time by the Russian side.

          Gaddafi would be alive if Russia at the UN Security Council meeting (March 17, 2011) voted against the introduction of a no-fly zone over Libya, as Lavrov insisted on. But the then president (Medvedev) did not "hear" the Russian Foreign Minister,
          and showed his independence. As a result, Russia "abstained", along with China and Germany. Out of 15 UN Security Council member countries, 5 countries "abstained". Only 6 countries have the right of "veto", including Russia, but she did not use this. And this resolution, in addition to the "no-fly zone", provided for many more provisions, including a ban on the supply of weapons to Libya and the freezing of all its financial assets. Life has shown that Lavrov was far-sighted and right. Before that, Gaddafi threatened to give up the dollar and trade only with Russia, China and India, which served as a "fuse cord" for him and the country. (cons are not mine, I don't use them).hi

            Gaddafi's verdict was the desire to introduce the "golden dinar", as opposed to the dollar.
            Unfortunately, then the situation in Russia was not the best for a tough confrontation between the United States and its minions.
            It’s easy to condemn and label, but to understand the essence of what is happening and make a long-term decision, this must be complete information.
            When did Erdogan suddenly want to acquire Russian air defense systems? When the cock pecked.

          In 87, Gaddafi arrested Haftar, after his release he moved to the United States and for almost 20 years waged a fight with the Gaddafi family, without the help of the CIA. After the overthrow, Gaddafi returned to his homeland, decided to snatch his piece of cake. He needs support, so he poked around everywhere , and visited Russia, offering oil fields, a base in Libya in exchange for arms assistance and the UN. He needs power, not the restoration of the Gaddafi family. Only Putin works only with Erdogan, he’s S-400, SU-35, helicopters They plan to sell, in general, all that we have, then they will sell. If the Turks crush Haftar (which is undoubtedly), then Putin will get a piece of the Libyan pie.

The task is not to squeeze something from the weak and profit from a freebie. This is the lot of Turks and Americans. The problem is that there would be no freebie that arises where there is no strong state. Not for this reason we built so many pipes so that the Turks would rumble with cheap stolen oil.
