About the reasons for the failure of the "storms" of Sirte and Bani Valid


After the assault and fall of the capital of Libya - Tripoli, the forces of the rebels, supported by the Western coalition, have already conducted five "assaults" (for us, the assault is the capture of Berlin, the Amin or Grozny Palace, but not the attempts of the cities to enter the city) Sirte and Bani Walid. And all these attempts ended almost the same - the flight of the attacking side from the battlefield, with the first serious resistance. The question arises, what is happening?

Especially interesting, these events look after the capture of Tripoli. There are several factors to consider. Firstly, the capture of the Libyan capital has been prepared for a long time, perhaps from the end of spring. It was from the end of May that messages began to come from Qatar about the construction of a double city, full-scale models of buildings and Tripoli squares, on which they finally began to conduct an assault on the city. Fighters of private military companies (PMCs), Arab and Western special forces "dragged" to Tripoli. Then the mock-ups were used again - for the informational cover of Operation Mermaid. Secondly, the factor of betrayal of the highest military ranks was fully used to capture Tripoli. Thirdly, the tactics of the “waves” were used, which were coordinated among themselves in terms of time and tasks. The first wave became a reconnaissance battle, in addition, it drove ordinary residents home, leaving the city completely empty. The second wave (air assault) consisted of groups of Western and Arab special forces, plus the activation of Islamist cells. She cut through the defense of the city and the disorganized units of Gaddafi were localized along the centers of resistance. In the third wave, the crowd went already, which was shown to the whole world, but the main role in it was played not by the rebels from the east of the country (due to their almost zero fighting efficiency), but by the Islamists. Fourth, a successful landing was carried out. The landing party was able to land on the embankments and in the port area almost unhindered, since on the shore of the capital, efforts aviation NATO had absolutely no means of fire that could knock out the landing on the way.

Bani Walid and Sirt

Attempts to take these cities on the move failed, the retreating units of Gaddafi, because of their desperate position, were entrenched there and put up fierce resistance to the enemy, who tried to attack almost from the traveling position. And then the factors that led to the defeat of other attempts to capture these cities began to play a role.

Thus, the locality itself helps supporters of Muammar Gaddafi. Bani Walid is an oasis, that is, the area around it, a flat desert, in which there are practically no natural shelters. From shelters only dunes and the bed of the dried river. There is water in the city, and once there is water, there is also a significant amount of greenery, i.e., good opportunities for sheltering vehicles and artillery. At the same time, it is difficult to detect the artillery of Gaddafi’s units from the air, positions are opened only at the time of its operation. NATO Air Force aircraft is not in a position to destroy all the heavy weapons of Gaddafi’s forces, while reconnaissance issues target designation, strike aircraft hit, until they strike, a very significant time will pass, during which you can change your position.

Gaddafi's opponents are fighting not only with Gaddafi units, but also local militias. This gives an advantage in the knowledge of the terrain - the reconnaissance of the enemy's positions, observation of him. Several reports have already passed on the successful strike of Gaddafi’s rocket launcher systems against the enemy. Apparently, the local well track the accumulation of enemy forces and they are immediately hit by artillery. In such a situation, it is impossible to prepare for the assault on the city without being noticed. So, knowingly, the “three assaults” of Bani Walid began, according to the media, after an artillery strike against the PNS force clusters.

The Western command cannot use the experience of Tripoli in Sirte and Bani Walid. There is no one to betray and surrender the defense sector, i.e. there is no “Trojan horse”, as in Tripoli. Cities are ready for defense. The rebels have no experience, and the desire to give their lives, storming the city on the present - house by house, quarter by quarter. The most combat-ready part of them is the Islamists, ready for terrorist attacks, terror, an offensive against a disorganized, broken enemy, but not a real head-on fight. Forces of the Arab and Western Special Forces are also not enough for this, and it is not their task to storm the cities. General military units are needed - a brigade or two, reinforced with additional armored vehicles, artillery.

Bottom line: for a successful assault on the cities of Bani Walid and Sirte, it is necessary to conduct a full-fledged combined-arms operation. Massive artillery strikes and air strikes, the advancement of armored vehicles and infantry in the main areas, the gradual advancement of assault groups (up to a company) under the cover of artillery fire and air strikes against strong resistance units. The problem is that the PNS does not have such a tool. So, under the Bani Walid mostly Islamists are located. They are able to fight as partisans, no more. In addition, the Islamists categorically do not like the command from the West, now they show their temper, they have their own plans for Libya, which differ from the plans of Rome, Paris and London. The Islamists do not have competent general commanders, there is no operational headquarters that could draw up a competent assault plan.

The same reasons are valid under Sirte, only there is another feature - under Sirte, the bulk of the rebels are men in slippers, with hookahs, with one shop for an automatic, who retreat at the slightest resistance. They do not know how to fight and do not want. That is why we see all the new “assaults”, the essence of which is an attempt to enter the city, after the air strikes of the NATO Air Force and artillery attacks. With the resistance of the "snipers" Gaddafi, the militia, the whole "horde" immediately makes legs.

Therefore, the West wants to push through the UN Security Council the decision to send a "limited peacekeeping contingent", apparently, just as part of one or two reinforced combined-arms brigades. Then the city will take, telling the world about a successful "humanitarian operation".

    The next news on this topic: The troops of the Transitional National Council of Libya could not succeed in the September attack on the last cities, faithful to Gaddafi, that was launched on September 18. Armed forces of the government are defeated during street battles in Sirte and Bani Walide, where snipers of the cracked Libyan leader attack the attackers.

    Support for the army PNS provides NATO aircraft. Due to the alliance air strikes from Sirte and Bani Walid, civilians are fleeing. At the same time, in the cities the military firmly hold the defense. In the arsenal of supporters of Gaddafi - the volley fire "GRAD", from which they fire the forces of the PNS, reports "Reuters".

    The PNS Army also launches air strikes against Gaddafists. During the September 16 battles, 354 people died, they said, surrounded by Gaddafi. Correspondents who are on the scene, indicate inconsistency in the actions of PNS. Moreover, the failure to attack Sirte and Bani Walid caused mutual accusations among Tripoli supporters, BBC reports.

            In Libya, fierce fighting continues between the troops of the Transitional National Council and troops loyal to the ousted Muammar Gaddafi for the cities of Bani Walid and Sirte. Gaddafi's spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said that 17 foreign citizens were captured during the fighting, including "technical experts" from France and Great Britain, Radio Liberty reports. Rosbalt 09:26
            Gaddafi’s troops, the complete defeat of which has repeatedly been announced by the new Libyan authorities, continue to resist. Having barely managed to report to the Western sponsors of the “revolution” about the capture of the cities of Bani Walid and Sirte, the rebels barely blew their feet tonight, fleeing the heavy fire of Gaddafi’s supporters. Komsomol truth 09:24
            According to agency reporters, NATO, as well as French and British authorities, reject information from Arrai TV that NATO troops were captured by Gaddafi’s supporters. In mid-February 2011, mass demonstrations began in Libya demanding the departure of the ruling country for more than 40 years Gaddafi. News 08:25

        I just wanted to add that these people are fighting with our enemy - with the evil empire - while we are sitting in comfort and hitting the keys - the Libyans are clutching assault rifles in their hands and are fighting
        The Syrians and Persians are now ready to join the battle against internal enemies fed by pendos.

        Yes, Gaddafi is a controversial person - he was not consistent in the procurement of Russian weapons - he tried to make friends with the West - but now he is a martyr and a Banner

        We all need to understand that the third world has already begun and we are next in line - and people in Russia who are still trying to side with the pendos are their fifth column in Russia - our enemies

          A lesson with Libya is to go to all heads of countries.

    Hurray, comrades. Hello everyone,
    Well, we waited for real confirmation that these PPS oppositionists did not represent any military power.
    Islamic mercenaries, a military company and the French legion did all the dirty work for NATO countries with the connivance of the UN and air support of Western armies from the air.
    "The troops of M. Gaddafi captured 17 British and French" mercenaries "
    Soldiers loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi captured 17 "foreign mercenaries" who were assisting the army of the Transitional National Council in the assault on the city of Beni Walid. According to Colonel Musa Ibrahim's spokesman, technical specialists and military consultants were taken prisoner. "Most of them are French. The group of mercenaries also included two Britons, a native of Qatar and a representative of one of the Asian countries," Ibrahim said in an interview with Syrian Arrai TV on September 18.

      firstly, there is no "confirmation" - when these supposedly "mercenaries" and "Frenchmen" are shown - then it will be a fact.
      secondly it talks about some technical specialists and military consultants - not a "French legion"
      c-3 The NATO command has already stated that none of the troops of the North Atlantic alliance was captured by supporters of M. Gaddafi, reports Reuters. Representatives of France and the United Kingdom also denied information about the seizure of military specialists from these states.

      Making a video and distributing it is a trifling matter - but it is not done.
      Just like any unfounded allegations about "NATO special forces" and "mercenaries of PMCs" - the mercenaries of these companies are engaged in very specific safe affairs (see the Wiki) and are not specifically engaged in military operations. NATO members will not risk their soldiers and risk being "spotted" - all this is pure speculation or Samsonov or who did he copy-paste. The question is - what for "wave tactics"? like in the huge Tripoli you can walk in "waves" and in small towns not? Kitchen strategists.

          Uh, strategists - the "mighty" Russian army, armed to the ears, stormed Grozny in 1995 FOR MORE THAN TWO MONTHS, in 1999 FOR A HALF A MONTH.
          What is this talking about? The fact that if there is a WILL and motivation to fight - there will be a real war, where Gaddafi has real support from the population there and they are fighting for real.
          And it turns out that the Russian troops in Chechnya, according to you, are cowardly hares who, at the slightest fire resistance, were ticking and hollowing with artillery and aircraft?

And under Sirte the same thing is repeated as in Grozny, only _e_t_i_ cannot even enter ...

    The problem is that the PNS was recognized by the UN. There is now their representative. So now Gaddafi is not in the law. Therefore, after a new government is formed, it will ask for the introduction of international forces (read NATO) to resolve the situation.

    When defending Bani Walid from an attack by Libyan rebels, Muammar Gaddafi’s supporters (Libyan army) seized “17 mercenaries,” including French and British “technical experts,” Gaddafi’s spokesman Musa Ibrahim said on air on the Syrian television channel Arrai.

    In Bani Valid, a group of 17 mercenaries was taken. These are technical specialists and consulting officers, ”said the representative of Gaddafi.

    He explained that the majority of those captured were French, two Britons, a Qatari officer and an Asian whose citizenship could not be determined.

    Alas. But if Musa Ibrahim voiced the names and / or showed a video with them, where they would talk about themselves. Well, or the photos showed. It would be bomb and news No. 1 even for Western media. .
    And so, the Colonel needs to learn the information war ...

    This is a new colonial redivision of the world. After the collapse of the Union, the entire system of political balances collapsed. Yes, and it was only due to the fact that there were 2 countries ready to blow up the whole world, only to win. Therefore, all the other small countries, in order to calm these monsters, shouted: Liberalization, Freedom, Equality, Honesty, Disarmament.
    This is how the animals (Wolves, foxes, hares, badgers, mice, donkeys ...) got into the "PIT" with the Bear and the Tiger. And let's shout that only that Real King of nature, Who has a herbivorous disposition, helps hares, does not allow mice to offend foxes. Well, the stupid Bear believed and bent over from such a diet, and the tiger was smarter, quietly ate sick animals and supported wolves and foxes in everything. And when the bear died, the tiger came to the middle and said that those who had long ears and in general all those who did not like it were hit. Here the wolves with foxes realized that now they had nothing to fear and that they too could eat someone. And the tiger looked at it and thought: "... eat my dears eat, if I run out of meat and dine with you ..."
