>After Syria, Russia focuses its attention on Libya by supporting mercenaries and sending weapons to Khalifa Haftar, who is controlling the east of the country.
>Haftar leads the Tobruk-based Libyan National Army (LNA), which controls the eastern part of the country.

I hope that answers your question. Russia is currently in Ukraine, Libya, Syria, CAR, and Venezuela. Mainly protecting / taking over oil and mining facilities (pick your term preference).

They both buy cheap aircraft? Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos could spam Yak-130s and L-39s at each other if they wanted.
Jayden Morris
Lots of minerals in Venezuela too, I believe China has troops in the area too. Errbody owes them crickets money.

What does the LNA flies?

>How the fuck two sides of a Civil war has access to fighter jets?
They got what's left of the former air force.
Also why the fuck haven't Haftar's forces capture Tripoli or at least Misratah yet?

>Rosneft does have a security interest in a 49.9% stake in PDVSA's U.S. refining arm, Citgo Holding. Any attempt to foreclose on that collateral would be opposed by the U.S. government. Moreover, it's likely that a post-Maduro government would move to declare at least some of those loans illegal because they were made without obtaining the consent of the Venezuelan parliament. In addition to the billions of dollars owed to Rosneft, the Venezuelan government also owes billions to the Russian government for arms purchases and other loans. In short, Moscow has a lot to lose if the Maduro government is overturned. Keeping the Maduro government in power is the best way for the Kremlin to collect the billions that it and Russian companies are owed.

Gaddafi's Lybia also had Mig-31.
I wonder what's their current state.
Kayden Richardson
>2 F-1 Mirage
>12 MiG-21
>3 MiG-23
>1 Su-22
Blake Parker
Not bad desu.
It's enough to reconquer the country and bomb the ISIS niggers in the southwest.
Samuel Wilson
Isnt that a 25 tho? The 31 was never exported was it?
James Bell
True yeah, my bad.

This pleases me

They're like B-29's, they'll fly after we are all dead.

>tfw recently just read about Wheelus AFB
Made me realize how strategically important Libya was to the U.S.
It reminds me of the former USAF AB in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
David Sanchez
Both F-4s and MIG-21s are the most combat-proven aircraft in history that are both relatively simple and still have aerodynamic performance to do what they need to do with some modern electronics hooked up. It would be surprising if they weren't still in service.
Angel Hall
They also seem to some Yugoslavian J-21s and G-2s

Fuck the Kike mods.

>L39
>Fighter Jet
They don't even have an RWR.
Jaxon Adams
MiG-21 are based.
Luis Diaz
Red is controlled by LNA... Russia's allies. So Russia is winning in Libya as well.
Matthew Morales
They still have to deal with ISIS pockets near their capital and in the southwest of the country.
Zachary Wood
yeah, that's what the gray part of the map is. I thought they controlled a lot more but it looks like it's just a desert.
Liam Ortiz
No, not that.
There are Touareg tribes in the Mali border(the same ones that were on the tongo-tongo ambush) and there's another pocket in the east of the country, but the map doesn't show.
Michael Gomez
Not only Russia, but also a couple of Arab countries as well.
>Egypt
>UAE
>Saudi Arabia
They're mainly supporting them to counter the Benghazi government which is backed by Qatar and Turkey.
Carter Miller
One is government, another is amerishit-sponsored terrorists. Both can afford jets.
Michael Brooks
That map seems pretty bullshit. They won't have meaningful control over the south of the country and the likes of AQ, ISIS, smugglers, human traffickers and nomads/local militias will be doing what they want.
Nathaniel Martin
Maybe the tribes in the south are allied with them?
I mean, it's Lybia, the country is basically ancapistan at this point.
Brody Thompson
52's not 29s
Liam Long
Is that you armatard?
Matthew Rivera
>another is amerishit-sponsored terrorists
The US and KSA are the biggest sponsors of terrorism in the world. No wonder it backfires on them so many times.
Daniel Fisher
>Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos could spam Yak-130s and L-39s at each other if they wanted
Hudson Perry
My bad.
Point still stands, we're both gonna be old and we'll still see Mig-21's bombing brown people in Africa or Middle East.
Jayden Foster
>Russia
The Tobruk gov is also backed by Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, Morocco, UAE, Chad, France, China, and the US as of Trump. It's basically just Haftar's military dictatorship.
Tripoli gov is backed by Turkey, Algeria, Sudan, Qatar, US, France, Jordan, and China. Is Erdogan-style Muslim Brotherhood offshoot.
US, France, Jordan, and China are supporting both sides again.
Chase Diaz
Are you sure? Didn't the U.S. stop supporting Haftar like 3 years ago?
Ian Moore
I think Venezuela is into China and Russia for low double digit billions.
They be looking after their investment.
Henry Lewis
Bush and Obama should be charged with war crimes.
Cooper Adams
Isn't that Europe's fuckup?
Lucas Anderson
So how intense is the war there? No one seems to talk about it, ever.
Luke Gray
We sent in air power to support the rebels, shit, we probably created the rebels.
I'm no fan, but Qaddafi was holding the country together.
Mason Cox
Lybians themselves already realized that.
zambianobserver.com
Mason Hughes
Honestly was dos Lybia has to offer now anyway?
Besides waves of refugees?
Christopher Howard
The US destroyed Europe by starting all these fucking wars and sending in millions of mudslime and niggers... which will eventually drown the EU. Fuck the US, fuck the neocons, fuck the jews.
Hudson Sullivan
The only part of Libya that matters is about 50 miles deep from the coast to the coast and thats it. The rest is fucking nothing
Dominic Williams
France is the country that most wanted to get rid of Gaddafi.
Jace Lee
>France is the country that most wanted to get rid of Gaddafi.
And look at them now...
Jace Barnes
Tbf it was like that before Lybia.
Jackson Bell
after usa helped isis they thought leaving the country in ruins was a good idea
i guess the video showing the us forces leaving on a amphibious shit at the coast of libya was true afterall
