India is closely monitoring possible use of S-400 in Libya by India

India will closely monitor if Turkey relocates C-400 missiles there to protect its interests in Libya. If Ankara does, they will be used against the French Rafale jets. New Delhi is not interested in this situation out of idle curiosity, but because India plans to purchase both the Rafale and the S-400.

About this writes the publication EurAsian Times.

The use of S-400 missiles against Rafale jets may soon become a reality, since Turkey is considering the deployment of Russian air defense systems in Libya to counter the French and Egyptian air forces, which have Mirage and Rafal aircraft in service.

The Turkish military and their allies are constantly attacked by Rafale, so they could use the Russian C-400 as a countermeasure.

Previously, the publication reported that French planes easily evaded radars and Turkish air defense systems during the bombing of Al-Vatiya air base in Libya. To protect this base, an American-made MIM-23 Hawk air defense system is located there. The fact that Rafal planes were able to bomb this facility with impunity has spawned discussions in Turkey about the need to deploy Russian S-400 air defense systems in Libya, which Ankara recently purchased.

[Nikolai Petrov]

The S-400 Sultan will not take Libya. He protects them to protect himself beloved from his own warriors. 16 years old he went for the future.

[neri73-r]

And in the contract, most likely, restrictions are provided.

[Shurik70]

But he is constantly being pushed towards this.
It began in the USA, and now here it is from India.
"Subtle" such hints.

[Alex777]

Let him be lucky to Libya. "Little green men" will drive up and blow up.
Will have to re-purchase. And wait for new complexes for years ...

[Cananecat]

But Turkey is sure to be sure to drag the C 400 to Libya? )))

[Alex777]

They have already dragged Pechora there. Have bought ukrov.
So we'll take a look. In the S-400 in Libya - "I do not believe".

[Knell wardenheart]

Turkey as a member of NATO allows itself more and more ..

[voyaka uh]

The base was fired with rockets from about 100 km. And they knocked out one Hawk.
Hawk shoots 30-50 km in total.
There you need something like an S-200 in range.

[Herman 4223]

S-400 has in the complex a missile with a range of 400km. It should be enough. True, Turkey did not buy shells, to protect the S-400 itself.

[Alex777]

S-400 has a complex missile with a range of 400km

Our S-400, theoretically, has such missiles.
And China and others got rockets with a maximum range of 250 km.
China's test reports confirm this.

[Herman 4223]

The Chinese are small, they need a shortened version, so as not to cause cognitive desonas, and Turkey is a Muslim country, they need a cropped version. Well, we will remain as originally planned.

[Charik]

But does Turkey have such a missile? And to protect the S400, the Turks have their nearest air defense

[Herman 4223]

Does their near air defense interact with C400? And are they going to use it for cover?

[Charik]

in the sense of interaction — whether they receive small information from S400-navryatli radars, for this they have their own radars, like the middle ones, or as an option like ours from one large-type radar-Sky-transmits data to the CP of different complexes, both small and medium and distant - probably so

[gorecc]

instant 21-23 Haftara capable of delivering guided missile strikes without entering the air defense zone? wow wow, go Bedouins on your knee gathered from improvised materials

[voyaka uh]

The base was fired by Rafali.

[Charik]

I mean, one Hawk, one complex, one radar station, one launcher? And not too much for the Hawk 30-50km

[bayard]

Quote: voyaka uh

There you need something like an S-200 in range.

For the organization of a reliable air defense system, first of all, the creation of a reliable radar field - for the timely opening of an attack, warning and target designation. And a long-range missile against a CD flying at low altitude is useless, for such a Hawk and S-125 it is quite enough - such a CD will appear above the horizon no further than 15-50 km, depending on the flight altitude and the nature of the underlying surface.
... Only the Turks do not talk about it .

[askort154]

What nonsense! Turkey will "bare" its capital Ankara by removing the S-400 in order to shoot down French and Egyptian planes in Libya.

[voyaka uh]

I think so too.
They took the S-400 to bring down their own F-16s, if some pilot again, according to tradition, is inspired by Ataturk’s constitution and tries to bomb Erdogan.
The complexes will cover the residence of the president and the state institution of Ankara, first of all.

[Ingvar 72]

Quote: voyaka uh

The complexes will cover the residence of the president and the state institution of Ankara

To cover these facilities, the S-400 is redundant.

[voyaka uh]

Erdogan does not want to risk his life.

[gorecc]

I think very few people want to risk their lives at all, but the likelihood that Erdogan will get some f-16 from the air is extremely small, don’t you?

[voyaka uh]

Hard to say. He dispersed half of the Air Force after the coup attempt. Part of the F-16 pilots was arrested, some were expelled from the army.
And the Air Force generals also cleaned up.
And these are hereditary military elites.
Such humiliation is not forgotten and not forgiven.

[Pereira]

Only if you do not fill the vacancies with new elites. Then the old and new elites will be busy figuring out the relationship and sharing grain places.

[Alex777]

Erdogan does not want to risk his life.

Do you think that he will not put the Greeks nerves on the border with Greece S-400 and cover up the development of the shelf of Northern Cyprus?
I believed that this was not the last task in the decision to purchase.
IMHO, so the first training was carried out on F-16 - the main Greek aircraft.
As for personal security - at the time of the coup, the generals and their own Prime Minister (whom Europe almost openly recognized as his successor) merged him.
The prime minister is retired and has not heard anything about him, the generals are in prison.
When there is no one to give a command, the pilots will not fly to bomb.

[gorecc]

But what about Greece and the Mediterranean with its territorial and gas disputes? I think for this, first of all, they took s400, and not to cover the residence of Erdogan ..

[voyaka uh]

Maybe they’ll put a battery in Cyprus ...

[Avior]

with the same success, the associate of this pilot can sit at the s-400 console.

[neri73-r]

Quote: voyaka uh

S-400 was taken to bring down their own F-16

That is, you actually confirm that the American weapon does not work on its own (aircraft, ships, etc.) or it can be remotely disabled!

[Pereira]

Just do not have to pretend that they caught Voyak in something shameful or caught a word.
Now, if he commanded the Israeli Air Force, then yes. And so leave an accusatory tone for others.

[neri73-r]

I didn’t catch anyone here, didn’t grab, didn’t detain or accuse anyone! I just stated a fact!

[Invoce]

Apparently there will be a struggle of technology under human control. That's just the Turks can drain the S-400 for Washington's promises. In addition to technology, competent and motivated specialists are needed. We'll see. Time will tell

[gorecc]

are you now so neatly laid straw under s400?))

[Mountain shooter]

Yes, S-400 Turks will never be taken to Libya. It is impossible to imagine. They did not buy them for this ...

[Herman 4223]

If I'm not mistaken, Turkey has not yet adopted the S-400 into service. The first division was set up not so long ago, I’m not sure in this regard that the personnel mastered the equipment quite well. They also did not buy shells for cover.
I hope that the complexes will not be there, because one hundred percent will make bad advertising.

[cniza]

The use of S-400 missiles against Rafale jets may soon become a reality, since Turkey is considering the deployment of Russian air defense systems in Libya to counter the French and Egyptian air forces, which have Mirage and Rafal aircraft in service

It is very doubtful that Turkey will transfer them there, they did not buy them for this.

[Tuzik]

New Delhi is not interested in this situation out of idle curiosity, but because India plans to purchase both the Rafale and the S-400.

Well, the S-400 will knock a couple of Rafales, and why will they refuse purchases?

[mag nit]

Another training ground.

[Eug]

I'm not sure that Turkey will take the S-400 to Libya, but if you're lucky - the Indians will watch very closely - through the prism of their potential conflict with China - whether or not Russia will interfere in the "work" of the complexes for Russia's allies, who are Turkey's opponents in Libya ...

[APASUS]

Turkey will take the S-400 to Libya to protect the barmaley whom it exported from Syria? At the same time, baring their own territories ..............

[Andrey.AN]

Ankara and Istanbul for the Turks will outweigh anything.

[rocket757]

Who knows that he will wander into the head of the Sultan?
Defense, this business is so interesting, complicated, for those who have no serious experience in this, it will be difficult to do, take balanced measures.

[Pavel57]

That Hawk, that the S-400 needs Armor.

[Hydrography Bay Golden Horn]

Well, Mirage 2000 is relevant now, a serious car

[Adimius38]

the master is a master, if the Turks start to rafal with S-400, then it’s better for us, you can’t imagine the best advertisement for S-400

If on the contrary, they will blame the armless operators.

[Shket53]

The Turks already have one regimental set of S-400s of 3 divisions, and ordered another (I don’t know for tomatoes or for real money) plus F-16, the Egyptians C-300 V, plus Rafali, Mirages, our MiGs -29. An interesting situevina looms if they shake their foreheads on the land of Libya (after all, someone fuels this escalating conflict) You just don’t think of a situation for a real S-400 test in combat conditions, and the Turks are unlikely to miss this opportunity there are limitations on the contract (they had already run-in the complex on their F-16s) Yes, the Egyptians ordered our SU-35s ... Yeah, as they say, it’s just scary how interesting. And if there’s also air combat using the above types of aircraft .. .. There is generally either crazy advertising to our military-industrial complex, and buyers will turn up in line ... or the greatest shame

[Mikhail Ya2]

What is the relationship between the presence of Rafaley in India and their acquisition of the S-400? Rather, they will be interested in the capabilities of Rafaley, against the S-400 in China
