Russia deploys MiG-29SMT combat jets and S-400 long range SAM in Libya to secure the oil

During Soviet times, not after 1991. Gaddafi bought Palmaria artillery from Italy, some of which were destroyed in 2011 by Rafales.

After 91...the Soviet union was in disarray...and Lybia buying few artillery pieces from Italy didn't mean she quit the Soviet sphere...
Since the meeting of Lavrov with Boukadoum, the Algerian foreign Minister, Russia changed her position on Lybia..They will be pushing for a political settlement like Algeria..even the US are on the same line of thinking...
What the pictures shows may be is just a decoy... I don't see the reason for Russia to move a complex system when the GNA has practically no aviation to speak of and the Turks haven't deployed anything but drones...

Turkey will deploy F-16 to Watiya to fight for oil.
 
Without Turkish help Tripoli would have held for about 2 or 3 more years before falling. Kabul held for 3 years against Taliban after Soviet withdraw and fell in 1992.
Turcs weren't alone...
 
They have red line too according to some Forbes article.
The only red line that is written in an indelible ink is the one on the Lybian Egyptian border.. Syrte and J ufra are written with chalk...

Libya is not a country anymore. It's divided like in Syria. There hasn't been a Libya Egypt border since 2014.
 
Good luck......
Good Luck to Turkish F16's or Good Luck to LNA's S300's ? Becasue I can tell you with 100 percent certainly that if Turkish f16 wanna destroy that S300 system they would do it in a heartbeat !

Turkey can easily take Sirte if it wasn't for Egypt, UAE, Greece, Russia, France which would militarily intervene if Turkey restarts the war.

The only thing that stops Turkey is Russia. The other countries cant do shit to Turkey and you know it.
 
Russia is indeed a beast. Moscow and Vladivostok 6415 km map distance you can drive between them.
After the election I expect that US and Turkey will come together and find a common ground in respect to Libyan conflict and France will be either turn to the neutral or support Tripoli. The main thing that they will see is that if Russia get a permanent base in Libya it will be very very Dangerous for everyone (A2/D2 ). It will be dangerous for NATO , EU and especially Israel and Turkey. So we all must come together for a common cause.

Even if the US opposes Russian expansion in Syria and Libya there's nothing they can do about it. US won't go to war with Russia. Not ever.
