Major failure of Marshal Haftar: “Shell-C1” and Mi-35 fell into the hands of the enemy

14

Units of the Government of National Accord (PNS) in Libya seized the Pantsir-C1 anti-aircraft missile system, which previously belonged to the Libyan National Army (LNS) under the command of Khalifa Haftar.

The air defense system was located at the al-Vatiya air base, which was occupied by PNS troops. The battles for this facility have continued for the past few weeks. Last weekend, it was reported that one such missile defense system was destroyed during a Turkish drone attack. But, as can be seen in the frames, ZRPK practically has no external damage. Probably, the installation had some technical malfunctions that did not allow it to be evacuated.




Such complexes were delivered to Libya from the UAE. They were used to attack Bayraktar TB2 drones, which were controlled by the Turkish military. These drones often organized attacks on moving vehicles, many of which were civilian targets carrying agricultural produce.

With the help of this UAV one more complex “Shell-C1” was destroyed recently.


In addition, it is reported that at the al-Vatiya airbase, a Mi-35 attack helicopter fell into the hands of militants of the Government of National Accord. The corresponding photo was published in the Arab segment of the Internet.

Major failure of Marshal Haftar: “Shell-C1” and Mi-35 fell into the hands of the enemy

Recent events have been a tangible blow to the combat effectiveness of the army of Marshal Haftar. The loss of two anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as a combat helicopter, will undoubtedly affect the effectiveness of the already small numbers of LNS.

      ... into the hands of militants of the Government of National Accord ...

      - But what, have Haftar freedom fighters? It has long been clear that in the hands of all tricks it is impossible to give modern weapons. Nothing but damage to the image and the money thrown away.
    2. It is necessary to put new devices to Haftar, and the personnel should be re-trained!

        Put him a better ventilator. They can be used as weapons, dumped on the enemy before spontaneous combustion.

      Yes, the Arabs are still warriors, they would have to manage camels, and not fight on MI-35

        The fact that the equipment is difficult to manage and requires good training of personnel is only a minus to it. Now everyone is striving for maximum automation of the process.
        1. There is no such complex technique that does not require the training of a lich. composition!

            But there is such a technique that reduces and simplifies staff training.
    4. The comment was deleted.

      - Yes, figs with her .. with this "our technique" ... - But the fact that our "losers" PMC Wagner again crumbled a lot (many killed and wounded, maybe even captured) - this already quite a tangible blow ... - I even urgently arrived there, an IL-76 arrived - a mobile hospital of the Russian Ministry of Defense from the Khmeinim base ... - I made two flights - most likely I was taking out our wounded and dead ...
      - Yes, and it is unlikely that the Haftar troops will now be able to recapture this air base ...

        Wagner ", it seems, withdrew the warheads six months ago. Only the maintenance engineers remained.

          - Wagnerians - "maintenance engineers" ... - sounds like an anecdote ...
          - And who is this pathetic Haftar on there ??? - On the "Syrian mercenaries", or what ??? - This is the second anecdote ...

            Haftar is supported - France, Egypt, Emirates, Israel.
            So he’s not so pathetic.
            A couple of days ago there was an article about the conflict between Haftar and PMCs.

              About Israel-is not true. In the inter-Arab conflicts, Israel traditionally wishes success to all parties at once.

      Haftar was not a marshal, but a loser. It's time to kick him.

      No one is safe from temporary failures. Haftar needs to unite with Safe.
