First you’ll need to explain me how you arrived to such conclusion
Lol.
For Russia to open a naval base in Libya Russia FIRST AND FOREMOST must become a naval power.
Russian attempts to modernize surface fleet had failed. Miserably.
They don’t even have military logistic ships relying on...
Same way US military left same way US military will return if we decide to do so. Russia’s presence is not a game changer for US in the region, some of you are so hang up on that notion for some unknown reason.
If I remember correctly in your region there are only two factories left from the Soviet era-in Georgia and Chkalov factory in Uzbekistan.
So I really don’t how Az will produce aircraft having zero experience whatsoever. Unless it’s just going to be basic assembly line just like with Israeli...
WTF are you talking about Ivan the Braindead?:cheesy:
First of all Russia was smacked around throughout most of the WW1 with the exception of Brusilov breakthrough and successes against the Ottomans. During WW1 Italy was on Ententes side all along.
Second of all during ww2 Italy fought tooth...
Disagree on Israel/Palestine among other antics and believe me I don’t agree with a lot of his policies
DT, throughout his business career, was known to be a scandalous and shrewd mofo who was not afraid to make bold moves. Recognition of Jerusalem was more of “F*ck You, I can do whatever I want...
As someone who worked in USG I know how our govt operates. So spare me from your nonsense and parallel with GOT
If Russia controls Libya then Russians get to capitalize on Libyan energy resources to Europe. Thus, Russia will compete with Algiers and Egypt.
Just because those 2 procure Russian...
They attempting to stay afloat with loss of revenue and collapse of oil prices.
We took USSR very seriously. But Putin’s Russia is not a serious opponent. It’s a joke.
After Camp David treaty Russia lost Egypt.
With collapse of USSR they lost Syria as well until 2015. In 80s and 90s they rarely used Tartus and GRU listening post in Al-Harra mountain was abandoned as well
Russia doesn’t bother us in Libya nor in Syria. Russia is very limited country especially its naval component. And they won’t get to USSR level for many generations to come.
In fact, Russians already have doubts about Syria. Especially since Iran is not capable supporting Damascus financially...
This is what I am saying:yahoo:
Pentagon. Wants. A taste. Of. An Airbase. We built. During. WW2:cheesy:
Forget about that USA/NATO have presence in East Med in Sigonella Naval Air Station in Sicily, right across from Libya.
Forget that there is USA/NATO presence in Chad,Niger, Sudan, Egypt and...
Stop posting unverified info and use your head or some common sense. This is the reason why I ridicule some users here who then complain to mod.
If SAA air assets deployed to Libya I wouldn’t worry a bit.
now, with regard to Russians. You got to understand something before russkies would move...
I heard no such rumors titsmuffin in fact the only hallucinating cool stories about French/Israelis/Greeks mercenaries I read here
So Turks are not afraid to embarrass Putin but afraid to embarrass Frenchies?:lol:
Anyway, there is something I noticed.
When UAE purchased Grayhounds they opted...
There is a small detachment of French SF by Niger/Chad border. They don’t participate in any combat missions on behalf of HH. They are part of an on-going CT operation Barkhane in Sahel region. That’s all.
and obviously there weren’t any Greek or Israeli mercenaries on the ground. Only Wagner
So what’s the deal with French/Israeli/Russian/Greek mercenaries, instructors at Watiya air base. Some of you were hollering about their presence for a few weeks. The base has fallen no corpses not even trace of them. I am sure russians were there but others, especially Israelis? :partay...
Decimated is a big word. In reality, out of 50 or so tanks/apcs lost in 2006, only 5 were completely destroyed.
What exactly consisted of GNAs AD network?
AD system can not and will not successfully work in stand-alone deployment. Here and there might be successful usage but overall it’s...
Those are valid points but you’re missing the main problem.
see, Pantsir would be more effective if it were part of multilayered network. To understand what I mean look at AD system of Kheymim.
First in surrounding areas there are Syrian systems from S75 to S200
Around perimeter of the base...
