A large batch of Soviet-made MANPADS was stolen from warehouses in Benghazi

101

The Libyan Islamist group Raf-Allah al-Sakhati stated that a large batch of Soviet-made MANPADS was stolen from its base in Benghazi, Kommersant reports.

As the newspaper notes, “experts do not exclude that MANPADS can fall into the hands of terrorists operating in neighboring countries. It was precisely such a development of events that the US feared: after the overthrow of M. Gaddafi, the destruction of MANPADS was one of the main tasks of the American special services in Libya.

The authorities of Tripoli, for their part, recognize that there are no combat-ready government units in Benghazi that could conduct a search and confiscation operation of stolen MANPADS.

As Kommersant writes, “Washington was afraid of just such a development of events: back in November last year, the USA allocated 40 million to buy MANPADS stolen by Libyan rebels from army stores after taking Tripoli and overthrowing M. Gaddafi. The task was only partially solved: the Americans themselves admit that Libyan militants who fought on the side of the opposition were transferring MANPADS abroad. ”

Kommersant also notes that a considerable part of MANPADS remained at the disposal of various Libyan groups and tribal formations. In total, according to US intelligence, the country may be up to 1 thousand unregistered Soviet-made Strela and Igla MANPADS.

At the same time, according to Kommersant, referring to expert opinion, “it’s possible that in fact, no one kidnapped the MANPADS in Benghazi, and the leaders of Raf-Allah al-Sakhati used the attack on their base, in order to “legalize” their loss and, thereby, disclaim responsibility for the further resale of the complexes to the Islamists in neighboring countries. ”

Despite Washington’s best efforts, the situation seems to be spinning out of control, states Kommersant.

COMMENT TSAMTO

Back in March, TSAMTO warned of the possibility of an uncontrolled leakage of Soviet-made MANPADS from military depots in Libya. Unfortunately, these concerns were later repeatedly confirmed. The last fact of the theft of MANPADS from warehouses in Benghazi was no exception.

As TSAMTO noted at that time, one of the consequences of the military operation of the coalition forces against M. Gaddafi’s regime could be the appearance on the “black” weapons market of MANPADS, which both the Libyan army and the rebel groups had.

The borders of Libya since the beginning of the intra-Libyan conflict and up to the present time are practically not controlled, so there is a constant risk that part of MANPADS can be smuggled into neighboring countries and resold to terrorist groups operating in the Middle East, including Al-Qaida ", And subsequently used to commit acts of terrorism in various regions of the world.

A year and a half ago, TSAMTO expressed the opinion that the leading intelligence agencies of the world should take coordinated actions to prevent such a threat, using the whole arsenal of methods and tools at their disposal. However, in the future, this function was unilaterally assumed by the US intelligence services, which in the end turned out to be “not easy” for them.

No, they were trying to achieve that MANPADS were dispersed in the region and for it. This is the strategy of the Anglo-Saxons aimed at unleashing a war in the region. Now from MANPADS it is possible to bring down a "Turk" and the Ottomans will not forgive the second plane to the Syrians or something like that. They can overwhelm a Jewish woman and then it is exactly the beginning of the end ...

Now it will not be possible to accuse Iran of sponsoring terrorists who shot down the plane of the "vice president" or any civilian. Now these are all the terrorists who launched the bombardment of the United States and France.

But the blame should be placed on “radical” Islamists or Gaddafists. I say again - the destruction of arsenals is a complete failure of US policy. They set themselves up by intervening and overthrowing the legitimate authority of the colonel.

        Not all aviation. And the weapon is good. and will be suitable for more than a dozen years. It's just that the efficiency goes down. The solution is simple - increase the number of launches on one target. For the destruction of civil aviation, including "police" helicopters, the most it. As for drones. So it is for taking off targets. Provided that the ranks of those using this weapon are full of suicide bombers, then not self-detonation, not destruction by return fire is not a critical condition. Just like in the recent raid on an American military base, when 8 airplanes and helicopters were destroyed on the ground, no one will now guarantee the safety of takeoff / landing at such bases. A group of suicide bombers can go to the launch sites in sync with the arrival of the "important board" and make a massive volley. While they did not have such weapons, now they have.

    The diary of a murdered American ambassador found in Libya provokes scandal in the USA
    In Libyan Benghazi, a diary was discovered that belonged to US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who died in an attack on the US diplomatic mission. Some of the diary fell into CNN reporting.


    Christopher Stevens died in an attack on an American diplomatic mission in Benghazi.
    In the Libyan city of Benghazi, a diary was discovered that belonged to the US ambassador, Christopher Stevens, who died in an attack on the US diplomatic mission. The diary was discovered a few days after the murder of an ambassador in a destroyed consulate building in Benghazi by CNN reporters, according to NEWSru.com.

    Journalists immediately reported the find to Stevens' relatives, but did not fulfill their request not to publicize the contents of the diary - several excerpts fell into CNN reports.

    In particular, the American ambassador wrote that extremist movements are gaining strength in Libya and it is becoming unsafe to be in the country.

    The U.S. Department of State has harshly criticized CNN for using ambassador diary entries. An agency spokesman called CNN's behavior terrible.

    Classic. If MANPADS disappear in the first act, then aircraft shot down by them fall in the third act. Where they will fall depends on the director of the play, but it is not yet visible (... the thread goes up and into the darkness ...)

        For whom ? The question is just open. The fact is that al-Qaeda is a CIA unit not entirely correct. The leadership is yes, but the performers are chaotic. 90% do not even know how to read, what the mullah said will be so. And we shouldn't forget about the Gaddafists. They took out in tons, and they have access now. That's just the point that can blaze anywhere. Today "Obama bin Ladden" is the brother of the author of "Muslims are not good."

            The States have strong mathematicians, namely mathematicians, because everything in the world is subject to mathematical laws. The calculation for Syria has been made, although, in my opinion, with errors, but the States will beat to the end. There will be no direct aggression - Iran is nearby. Iran is a "Queen" that can only be beaten by an atomic bomb or, more likely, by a long siege and information war. Iran is an extremely strong state in the region - that's a fact.

    Is it not clear that the initial emphasis on Iran, made several years ago, was converted into a chess combination with Syria, Libya and Egypt? It was the Yankees mathematicians who calculated the apocalyptic exit of the Iranian rocket from the mine. And so they decided to destroy the allies first. And by the way, they continue to restrain Israel with great difficulty. And the ultimate goal in this region of Iran, believe me! It will be seen further.

      Alexander disagrees. It seems to me that you are just narrowly considering the situation. It is not the right time to wave the "nuclear club". The goal is not the destruction of the regime, but the goal is its submission. The methodical and systematic submission to their will of all regimes that slightly sympathize with Russia is the goal of the Yankees. And they have long understood that this goal cannot be achieved with a "nuclear club". The bombers would have been in Syria a long time ago, but they ran into the wrong ones. Syria will be finished off by civil war. And I am sure - Iran is a VERY powerful power!

    In my humble opinion, the warehouses were taken by English and French spetsnaz, with the assistance of local Libyan agents (supposedly from the PNS). A year ago, there was a lot of noise in the press about the French and British special forces, no one really knew what they were doing there, and yet they carried out some specific tasks. Warehouses and strategically important objects were taken without dust and noise, who should be paid uncle money, someone else did.

    I allow myself to disagree with you, the genie from the bottle is not released. It is impossible to release what is not. The stolen MANPADS under the strict control of the knights of the cloak and dagger are delivered to where they should. Just like for example, dope from Afghanistan is delivered to Russia. Does anyone really think that everything, too, happens on its own there? The most sophisticated, state-of-the-art laboratories that can produce drugs on an industrial scale? Further, the most complex chains of transportation, delivery and distribution, and this also all arises by itself?

    Or maybe not stolen, but sold. The Arabs are still those merchants - why should nothing disappear in vain, and keeping such a guard is dangerous for health (specialists can descend, pile up a pill and take everything for free. It will be a shame then, hear, yes?)
