Su-24, the affiliation of which is not established, inflict airstrikes on the Islamists of Libya

Blog bmpd referring to the American magazine "Jane's Defense Weekly" reports that the leader of one of the Libyan factions, retired General Khalifa Haftar, has claimed responsibility for aviation raid on the positions of Islamic militants in Tripoli. This is an event that occurred on the night of August 18.

Another similar airstrike was inflicted on the night of August 23. For him, no one has yet taken responsibility. And it remains unexplained, the air force of which country they belong to.

It is assumed that the purpose of the last raid were ammunition depots located at the Mitiga airbase, which is currently controlled by Islamist troops from Misurata. Today, this group is fighting against the allies of Haftar - the armed forces of Al-Zintan.

such in Ukraine it is necessary to push the National Guard under the National Guard

A democratic civil war is not a totalitarian peace and tranquility for you! True, the United States is an exception. Peace and quiet are democratic there, and political crises are honestly, humane and openly resolved by the most democratic smoke bombs and water cannons in the world!

When dill when they are scrubbed (attacking the Crimea or heavy artillery shelling our territory) But there will most likely be SU-34s.

Well, the choice is small: the Libyan Su-24, all of them were 6 destroyed during the Civil War, and if the 1-2 cars remained, then the machine is quite complicated and for the Basmachi, it will be extremely difficult to take it into the air and carry out maintenance. The situation is similar with other planes.

the wreckage of the downed Libyan Su-24MK
At least it is difficult for their Ukrainian counterparts to reason.
Algeria is a Libyan Union and has 34 Su-24M / Su-24MK and 4 Su-24Е, it has trained pilots. And in Algeria itself, only recently the civil war ended with its own Islamists, separate units which were driven into the Atlas Mountains, therefore it is possible that the cargo of weapons from the warehouses was intended for the Algerian Islamists, as Algerians learned and decided to destroy it.

Theoretically, it could be Syrians, they have 20 Su-24 and its range of 560 km allows you to strike through the Mediterranean Sea, with a jump airfield somewhere in Egypt, but this could not remain invisible.

Although the Egyptians themselves could strike if this cargo, for example, was sent to the Muslim Brotherhood. As the ancients said in such cases: Cui prodest? ("Who benefits?")

Hmm, an interesting option, Roman.
Thanks for the sensible comment, otherwise the people, even in such news on Africa, "zombo-u.k.r" includes ... Are they not enough news on the topic?

By the way, the article, ahem, is not entirely complete.
In the original bmpd blog, she continued.
An interesting quote from the end of the article:
“Nonetheless, the Algerian press is constantly talking about security threats posed by neighboring Libya. On August 6, the Al-Fajr news outlet reported that the Algerian military had deployed C-125 air defense systems along the country's eastern border to shoot down airliners allegedly captured by jihadists. at Tripoli International Airport with the intention of using them to carry out suicidal attacks. "
So the question is "who benefits from it?" - is really relevant.

Libya continues to be torn apart ...
Well, open the country’s gates and lower your pants — democracy has come in Amer’s style.
If you wanted some gingerbread, you’ll get the glands.
Obviously, many now in Libya about the Real Colonel remember his social policy ...

Dear Alexei, another thought occurred to me: in the south, Libya borders on Sudan. Last year, Sudan bought in Belarus 12 Su-24M.

Sudan Air Force Su-24M Frontline Bomber Delivered from Belarus
Iran has a very strong position in Sudan, especially since Iran has trained pilots for these machines, since the Iranian Air Force has 30 Su-24MK.

As you know, weapons from Libya can go to Syria, where the Iranian "guards of the Islamic revolution" are fighting, and to Iraq-ISIS, which Iran is also fighting with.
Well, now the Iranian puzzle is developing on the Sudanese Su-24 strike at the warehouse of the Libyan Islamists, where weapons should go to Syria or Iraq. This is more convenient, since the main part of the flight passes over the empty and inconspicuous, since the Su-24 have a mode of enveloping the terrain, i.e. they are invisible to the radar of neighboring states, and Libyan air defense is destroyed.

But not far from Tripoli?
Although I'm not special, FIG knows.

But for the Islamists it was a clear "surprise".

[tomket]

During, I just thought about the fact that Batkin's "Crackers" might surface somewhere, and Iran's interests can be traced in the air strikes.

Alexey, hello!

In the "Western world" they are still considering the version - this is "participation" in this operation of "guys from the UAE".
The same version takes place. Egypt provides its bases and from there the Emirates are already free to reach their goals.
Moreover, they already "worked" in Libya on their F-16s in 2011

Well, damn it ... how many people want to play the former Colonel’s economy ...

[gfs84]

It seems like Sudan still had a Su24M?
In Sudan, none of the Gaddafi family rushed?
If any of Muammarra’s sons is staying there, he could get along with al-Bashir and offer mutually beneficial cooperation, because now he is strained with South Sudan where hydrocarbon fields are located, and the entire infrastructure for transporting and refining oil remained in just Sudan ... That is, fraud there is no resource base ...

[tomket]

Because of the proximity, Algeria is most likely, because Iran and Syria are still far away.

1. Su-24 MK, depending on the "load" and flight profile with 2 PTBs, has a TACTICAL RANGE of ACTION up to 1360 km!

2.Nothing that Algeria has a common border with Libya (This is about what is CLOSER than from Egypt )

It’s not sickly, but when the Qadafi mattress wrote off and declared the no-fly zone all these forces as a dead poultice .. Could the pilots have had some fun and the rest understood the khan and we must fight for the HOMELAND! But the local mentality does not allow this, and the idea that they are the elite will be needed under any regime, somewhere in the subcortex clearly sat like the rest of the Libyans. result on the face of a country in hell ..
