The Pentagon named the number of Syrian militants, which Turkey has sent to Libya

The Pentagon has published a report describing the military activity of Turkey in Libya.

According to the US military, Turkey sent 2020 to 3,5 thousand militants to Libya from January to March 3,8. The Pentagon report says they are Turkish-sponsored fighters from Syria. The information is confirmed by the US Department of Defense Inspector General.



From the report:

Sending up to 3,8 thousand paid Syrian militants to Libya has changed the course of the Libyan war. The conflict in oil-rich Libya has escalated into a regional war using proxy forces. These forces are used by foreign states.

The Pentagon Inspector General said that the United States "is increasingly concerned about the growing influence of Russia in Libya."

The statement says that there are "hundreds of Russian mercenaries" on Libyan territory, who were gathering together with the forces of Marshal Haftar to take control of Tripoli.

At the same time, the report stated that US intelligence studied data on the fighters from Syria used by Turkey and “did not find any connections with Al-Qaeda and ISIS (terrorist organizations banned in the Russian Federation).

From the report:

Most likely they went to Libya not for ideological or political reasons, but on the basis of generous Turkish funding.

Recall that de jure, Ankara supports the government of national accord of Libya. At the same time, more and more facts indicate that Turkey is simply going to expand its influence in northern Africa, with which, to put it mildly, Egypt is not ready to agree.

      What did American intelligence think about their heads?
      Or as "Powell's test tube", here's a Hiley and a Likely!

        Other intelligence services of states involved in one way or another in the Libyan conflict (for example, Russia, France, Egypt) obviously have their own data, which does not necessarily coincide with the American ones ...

          It's just that for the past 20 years, Americans and Jews have been lying so shamelessly not to a blue eye that then it comes out so clearly ...
          Well, it’s just that they don’t say - that is necessarily a lie!

            This is what I meant, because what is the use of the Americans in the fact that they provide accurate data on the pro-Turkish forces in Libya?

            They lied before, when not only the "blue eye" was not there, but also the telephone.

              I believe that journalists very often get real intelligence. information that falls on the president's table and serves as a guide for decision-making.
              They deceive themselves.
              It was one thing that Powell waved a test tube in front of the press, but what if he OFFICIALLY waved the same test tube in front of the president?
              With the same speeches.

                And what do you think the president believed him? Of course not, but that is why such "powers, gandolises" are put so that they lie, not presidents.

        Everything is much simpler: I raised salary and allowance statements. Regular accounting.

          Don't ruin people's fantasies. And so of course Bulgakhteria knows more about the affairs in the Ministry of Defense than the chief of staff and the Minister of Defense.

        Note to our "democrats" - Libya lived in a "bloody" totalitarian regime - but there was peace, tranquility and prosperity ... Now there is no country, constant death of people, heaps of some armed gangs, alien soldiers of all stripes, robberies and murders ... This is called - the era of freedom has come - it's scary to go out into the street, there is no money, no medicine, no education, everything is destroyed, they are bombing from above ... don’t understand who! And American democracy reigns everywhere! laughing

      Erdogan has about two million refugees, although who counted them a lot. For them, he shakes humanitarian aid from Europe, and from them he recruits the Basmachis, an almost inexhaustible conveyor!

      But I am not worried about Turkish terrorists by terrorist fighters who do not exist. 3500 or 8000, but there are no Russian ones, but the Pentagon noticed them. As in the fable of I. Krylov

      “Have you seen an elephant? What is it at a glance!
      I’m tea, did you think you met a mountain? ” -
      “Is he there?” - “There.” “Well, brother, to blame:
      I didn’t even notice the elephant ”

      Did she allow? Time will tell. And judging by the Pentagon's reaction, one can hear a great regret that they did not grasp these areas.
