UAE or Egypt conducting airstrikes in Libya for LNA

A tweet with only audio, no video, and you are jumping to conclusions.

@The Eagle @waz @Dubious @WAJsal thread title is misleading
There was a satellite photo of Wing loongs in Libya. Let me find the link ok?

It's an old picture but I assume UAE is still using it. Wouldn't make sense to make airbase and only use it for a limited amount of time.

ccording to the report the team of experts has issued, Al-Khadim military base which is managed by UAE forces, near the city of Marj in eastern Libya, has witnessed a remarkable development during the period from March 2017 to November of the same year, according to satellite images which have been annexed to the report.

The report confirmed that the size of the southern aircrafts’ apron has doubled, with the paving of the side ground of the airport between two maintenance hangars, in about eight months.

According to the report, the entrance of the airbase has witnessed an increase in the number of checkpoints and buildings which are believed to be part of the airbase’s checkpoints, as well as an increase in the number of fixed vehicles which are likely to be included in securing the entrance, according to Arabi21.

In late 2016, a British website specialising in military matters said the UAE had established an advanced military base in the city of Marj (100 km in east of Benghazi), from which light AT-802 attack aircrafts and drones take off.

International aid to the LNA and GNA has particularly manifested in the form of training, maintenance support and even furnishing mercenary pilots. Egyptian warplanes have flown several airstrikes on behalf of Haftar, while the UAE deployed a mercenary-operated squadron AT-802 Air Tractors (up-gunned crop dusters!) and Chinese-built Wing Loong drones in support of the LNA in 2016. The UAE has also built up large-scale aviation facilities which could be used to support operation by its jet fighters in the future.

What do you mean the US can't do anything lol? Israel's planes are no doubt much better than your planes due to them firstly having F-35, and also having more multi-role capabilities coupled with more advanced avionics than Turkish F-16s. And then you have to consider Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Kuwait which all-together would be a really, really huge number of planes against you. Typhoons are more advanced than your F-16s no matter what you say. And UAEs F-16s outclass your planes by FAAAAAAR.

keep dreaming dream is free the US can not fight against NATO Member Turkey ,,,, Turkey is not Iraq

and Israel is tiny country and Israel is so smart country not to fight against Iran or Turkey ( to be target of thousands of Iranian or Turkish missiles on Tel Aviv and other cities ? )



and pathetic Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Kuwait are joke , they dont know even how to use Fighter Jets

and in july the best air defense system in the world S-400 with 400km 40N6E Missiles are coming to Turkey
( to turn enemy fighter jets into crap of metal )


btw Turkish CCIP Modernized F-16s have great technology to burn Dubai and Abu Dhabi


Aselsan SPEWS-II Electronic Warfare Self Protection Suite


SPEWS-II is an advanced, internally mounted self protection system specifically designed for F-16C Block 50 Fighter Jets

Aselsan has started deliveries of 60 SPEWS-II to the Turkish Airforce

-- Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)
-- Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) Suite
-- Deceptive RF jamming
-- Intelligent control of chaff/ flare dispenser systems

Turkish Airforce 100 F-16s armed with 200 SOM Cruise Missiles + 7 KC-135 Air refueling Tankers + Boeing E7T AEWC to attack on Dubai

on the other hand pathetic Arabs can not reach to even Turkish Borders ..... S400 with 400km 40N6E Missiles can turn enemy fighter jets into crap of metal


so ERDOGAN is smart to buy S400 against American backed puppet regimes

Middle East Monitor is an Iranian mouthpiece. Secondly, Egypt operates Wing Loong drones as well. For all you know it could be anyone, an audio tweet proves nothing.
 
@Khafee

Same place now has 6 hangers so impossible to tell what planes are inside. Notice how it was paved, and a lot was done to develop the airbase. It's being used as you can see there is an IL-78 taking off in the Google Maps picture.

HJ-10 missile bodies were found so it had to have come from Chinese drone and it has to have been either Egypt or the UAE. I assume UAE because Egypt was never mentioned in any article I read at all about drones in Libya.

You need to edit the title.
 
What is wrong with you kid, You post a tweet, of an audio, of a prop powered something, and you turn into a ashok37!

@The Eagle @waz @Dubious @WAJsal Baseless thread, height of ridiculousness.
Its not audio. Its nighttime and you can see a guided weapon being dropped due to the flame coming from the rocket motor. How is it baseless? Many news sites have covered it which means it has some base to stand on.

now Turkey has right to send Navy and Airforce to Libya to establish a military base

the Uae and Egypt are in active fight in Libya



dream on
pathetic Arabs you are nothing in Iraq,Syria,Libya even in Yemen ...
I love to see turks angry:D:angel:
 
I love to see turks angry:D:angel:

Turks are very happy to be in Cyprus,Iraq,Syria,Qatar,Somali and Libya

where are you Arabs ? only hidding behind of your master the US

even pathetic Arabs can do it in Yemen ........ so pathetic
 
Mods, there is evidence of HJ-7 missiles that were used in Libya.
The only two countries who could have done this due to their strategic relationship with Haftar are Egypt and UAE.







As part of Operation Taoufane al-Karama, the accuracy of night air strikes has become unusually high for at least a week. The past days, many pictures of remains of missiles were sent to me for identification pointing they could have been launched by foreign air forces during night airstrikes around Tripoli. The photos have been taken in fighting in Wadi Rabe on April 17th and in Aziziya and comparison with Chinese made Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) LJ-7, also known as 'Blue Arrow-7', confirmed that this type of missiles was used in the two air strikes. Some Blue Arrow 7 missiles fragments were found following night air strikes on :

- Wadi Rabe' south of Tripoli on April 17th
- Al-Hira on April 20th
- El-Azizia on April 20th
- Ain Zara on April 21th

LNA jets have no night-fighting ability due to lack of night vision, or thermal imaging on old Mig-21s and Mig-23s or any other jet operated by the LNA.


A conventional bomb would not give off that glowing light which is the rocket motor burning which emits light. The AT-802 would have had different weapon casings if it could have reached Tripoli from inside Libya near Egypt which it can not. That leaves only one option, the Wing loong. Is this enough evidence for you that it was Egypt or the UAE? @Khafee
