Airstrikes on a Libyan base destroy a Turkish air defense system

[The SC]

A military source confirmed that air strikes targeted the Al-Wattia base in Libya, late on Saturday night, and destroyed a Turkish air defense system and returned safely to its bases.

The source said that 9 precise air strikes were carried out on Turkish air defense systems, which were recently installed at the Al-Wattia base.

The source confirmed the success of the raids in neutralizing a Turkish Hawk air defense system, noting that 3 radars were completely destroyed.

The Libyan Al-Wefaq government battalions in Tripoli control the Al-Wattia base after a previous tactical withdrawal from the Libyan army.

The aforementioned raids are the first for the Libyan army after the announcement of the signing of a military agreement between Turkey and the reconciliation government, on Friday, following a visit by Turkish Defense Minister Khulsi Akar and his chief of staff to the capital, Tripoli.

The Libyan army considered that the agreement violated Libyan sovereignty, vowing to Ankara a military confrontation.

We don't know, it could be French, Emirati, or Egyptian fighters, and their Coral EW system was ineffective in stopping the attack.

Contradictory statements by top Turkish politicians about Libya

The contradictory statements of the Turkish foreign and defense ministers about the role that their country plays in Libya raised several questions, as observers pointed to the existence of a difference in the Turkish diplomatic view and between the military establishment, a contradiction exposed by the images that spread after the visit of Turkish Defense Minister Khulsi Akar to Tripoli and Misrata and his meeting with a number A large number of Turkish soldiers and officers there.

Turkish officials and contradictory statements about Libya were exposed by the photos after a few hours separated the words of Turkish Foreign and Defense Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoوlu and Khulusi Akar.

The Foreign Minister, during his meeting with his German counterpart, Haikou Maas, said that his country only provides military consultations to the Al-Wefaq government based on their agreement, while accusing France of sending weapons to the National Army.

Observers mentioned that the consultations that Chaucoglu talked about mean, in the military language, the presence of a number of Turkish officers who advise the Al-Wefaq Brigades, and may be associated with training operations supervised by a limited number of officers.

However, they pointed out that the photos that emerged after the visit of the Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar to Tripoli and Misrata and his tours among his forces there, exposed a greater role of consultations.

Some pictures show Akar in a military operations room that includes dozens of Turkish officers, the room that directs Turkish soldiers in the battle, along with other pictures of his meeting with Turkish soldiers in Misrata.


In addition, Akkar was seen inspecting the large barges in the Misurata port, which prompted the military experts to say that they are a sign of a large Turkish military intervention, beyond the consulting role that the Foreign Minister talked about.

The photos of the Turkish defense minister contradicted his colleague's foreign minister's statements about the nature of the Turkish role in Libya despite Chausoglu's attempt to reverse the image by accusing France in light of the escalation of tensions between them.

It is noteworthy that France stands critical of the Turkish role in Libya, as President Emmanuel Macron recently considered that history will record Turkey's responsibility for what is happening in Libya today.

Facebook and tweeter are full of confirmations of the raid.. still nothing much in official news.. but the opening article is from Al Arabiya.. a trusted news source..

Some people say that it was the Libyan army that struck
And other people say that it is Egypt that struck
And some people say that it is the Emirates that struck
And the Turks will say that France and Russia that struck

The blood of the Turks is spread between the tribes, "what a sinister laugh."

 

[Gomig-21]

We'll have to see the sat images for confirmation. Hard to imagine the Libyan air force being that precise.

 

[The SC]

There are reports of renewed raids now..
