Remember that magic day: Jan 14 2020 when Haftar could have frozen his war gains, but he chose to stomp out of a peace deal and start murdering Libyans again. Turkey said they would teach him a lesson. They did. Haftar is a bad student. #LessonTwoBegins. nytimes.com/2020/05/21/wor…
Turkey intervened to give the GNA breathing space. Then Haftar began targeting Turkish advisors. Bad idea. That's why Haftar had his Pantsir's whipped down in public. The UAE took their mercenaries and slithered home. Syria was Haftar's first lesson:
Turkey cucked both LNA, Russian and UAE military posturing by literally wiping out 8, 9? $5M weapons with cheap Rokessan MAM-L and L-UMTAS missiles. Here is some older PR Hype for Pantsir:
The question is will Haftar crash their own planes before the Turk F-16s with air refueling and G Class ships can take them out. Libya is becoming a cheap production location for weapons videos: Cue the dramatic PR video for Turkish weapons.
