That new UN report on Libya said that a group of 20 Western mercenaries from the Dubai-based Lancaster 6 DMCC and Opus Capital Asset Limited FZE companies deployed to Libya in June 2019 to support Haftar's advance on Tripoli before leaving abruptly. 24/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-14/western-mercenaries-went-to-libya-to-help-moscow-s-man-un-finds?sref=vUaflVSM …

If true, we should see evidence pretty soon of the Pantsirs the GNA said they destroyed. 38/https://twitter.com/ragipsoylu/status/1262285388376412160 …

And there is one of those UAE Pantsir-S1, apparently abandoned by the LNA (it is a high value target for TB2 UCAVs). Looks like it might be damaged but not destroyed as the GNA previously claimed. 40/ https://t.me/rybar/11222 pic.twitter.com/KaAr075XgQ

And now the pro-Turkish Clash Report posted a video purportedly of a TB2 UCAV strike on another Pantsir-S1 south of Sirte while being transported on a tractor-trailer. 43/ https://t.me/ClashReport/175 pic.twitter.com/sd4EvhsyQI

Pretty ambitious claims, and it would be interesting if Krasukha 2 or 4 EW systems were deployed in Libya. 44/https://twitter.com/clashreport/status/1262337627774214146 …

Another video showing a TB2 UCAV striking a tractor-trailer in Libya. Clash Report claims it was a Krasukha EW system (resembles a Krasukha-2 more than a Krasukha-4), but it is hard to tell what it was. 48/https://twitter.com/clashreport/status/1262443205129375747 …

After months of the LNA posting photos of downed Turkish TB2 UCAVs, you get the feeling that Turkey and the GNA are happy to make the most of their PR coup today. 51/https://twitter.com/leventkemaI/status/1262460233588387842 …

Yeah, they seem like they’re enjoying themselves with their newly captured Pantsir-S1. 52/ https://t.me/new_militarycolumnist/34589 …pic.twitter.com/Fjmw6KLOMu

This video shows the captured Pantsir-S1, but also appears to show a second destroyed Pantsir-S1 under the rubble from one of the hangars at the end. 53/https://twitter.com/BurkanLy/status/1262525880397635585 …

Screenshots showing the intact Pantsir-S1 and what appears to be a second destroyed Pantsir-S1 under rubble. The screens and wheels look similar to the Pantsir-S1 on a MAN SX 45 8×8 chassis that was only purchased by the UAE. 54/pic.twitter.com/252hVYfHuR

“Turkish-supplied antiaircraft systems pushed Emirati drones out of range, handing back air supremacy to the Tripoli-based government. Turkish officers also provided intelligence and C2 for the Tripoli government’s poorly organized militias” 55/https://www.wsj.com/articles/libyan-warlord-slows-offensive-as-turkey-turns-wars-tide-11589886388?redirect=amp#click=https://t.co/nU0khtXOpY …

Clash Report released another video of a Turkish TB2 UCAV strike on an Emirati Pantsir-S1 (it appears its radar was active). They claim that 6 Pantsir-S1 have been destroyed/captured over the last 48 hours. 57/ https://t.me/ClashReport/182 pic.twitter.com/YkE3lFDfgi

@emre876204 makes a good point. The videos show two of the Pantsirs with their radars in operation. The Pantsir’s 57E6E missiles’ max range is 20km (detection range is greater) the TB2 with MAM-L is only 8km. So either EW is being employed or the Pantsir crews are incompetent.60/pic.twitter.com/j8wrbfnePo

Purpotedly, photo one of the recently damaged Pantsir-S1 in Libya, but it is on a KAMAZ-6560 chassis, not a MAN-SX45 that the UAE purchased. Not sure if this means the UAE also bought KAMAZ variants or if another country is sending Pantsirs to Libya. 62/ https://vk.com/milinfolive?w=wall-123538639_1457983 …pic.twitter.com/IqfrgZZNte

Look's like the same Pantsir-S1 from a video posted yesterday, but clearly with more damage. 63/ https://twitter.com/Oded121351/status/1262664397299859456 …pic.twitter.com/Kf2kop5FFM

Hard to be sure, but it appears the aquisition radar is the newer octagonal-shaped S-band 1RS1-3-RLM radar and not the older rectangular radar (which all Emirati Pantsirs have AFAIK). Syria, Algeria, Iraq, Ethipopia, and some other countries have the newer version. 64/pic.twitter.com/x2nMmORY3V
