Pretty sure the footage of these 2 Pantsir-S1 hasn’t been shown before. 68/pic.twitter.com/LGfKRtmflD

The GNA's security chief Fathi Bashagha said at least six MiG-29s and two Su-24s have flown into eastern Libya from Russia's Khmeimim Airbase in Syria, escorted by two Russian Air Force Su-35 fighters, to bolster the LNA. 69/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-21/haftar-s-forces-announce-air-campaign-against-turkey-in-libya …

Last week the Записки охотника Telegram Channel said that a Russian Tu-154 aircraft landed in Iran's Hamadan Airbase as a stop over as it flew from Russian to Syria, and it was escorted by 6 MiG-29 fighters. Presumably, these are the same fighters. 70/ https://avia.pro/news/rossiya-perebrasyvaet-v-siriyu-shest-istrebiteley-mig-29 …

The Turkish Anadolu news agency released an infographic ID'ing the locations of the 9 Pantsirs they claim were destroyed over the previous 4 days in Libya. 74/ https://vk.com/milinfolive?z=photo-123538639_457460577%2Falbum-123538639_00%2Frev …pic.twitter.com/KuyzMscjun

So over the past two days it seems the LNA managed to shoot down 2 Turkish TB2 UCAVs and one Wing Loong II UCAV (friendly fire). 76/ https://vk.com/milinfolive?w=wall-123538639_1461717 …pic.twitter.com/ir4EZTJ4TD

The Msta-B 152mm towed howitzer was arguably the main workhorse of Russia's intervention in Syria, especially when equipped with Krasnopol laser-guided artillery rounds. 79/

Also spotted today was a 122mm D-30 howitzer being towed by a, presumably Russian PMC, technical. 80/ https://t.me/grey_zone/2940 pic.twitter.com/csUOXDu8lr

One obvious question is whether Turkey will try to strike Russian PMC convoys with their UCAVs, which now lack air defense coverage after the loss of the Pantsir-S1s, or whether they will try to limit their air strikes to LNA and non-Russian forces (as they did in Idlib). 81/

Deliberate targeting of Wagner will almost certainly lead to a strong Russian escalation, and the decision to send MiG-29 fighters may have been a primarily defensive move to protect Russian PMC contractors from TB2 UCAVs (with the option of using them for offensive missions).82/

Screenshots of that Pantsir-S1 on a KAMAZ-6560 chassis. Since that variant of the Pantsir isn’t in service with UAE (AFAIK), seems most likely that Russian PMCs are operating their own Pantsirs. A photo emerged this week of another KAMAZ-6560 Pantsir-S1 that was destroyed. 86/pic.twitter.com/P6H2emfX5f

AFRICOM's Gen. Stephen Townsend said the same while testifying to Congress in March. This seems like the best explanation for seeing that variant of the Pantsir-S1 in a Russian PMC convoy in Libya. The UAE has lost at least 20% of their 50 Pantsirs. 87/ pic.twitter.com/qALmoAGBvwpic.twitter.com/d4M3MImudI

There were at least two Russian Tigr vehicles (I think Tigr-M but can’t tell for sure) in the convoy which are standard across the Russian military. 88/ Last Photo: Vitaly Kuzminpic.twitter.com/jixvPLVUy5

Look's like an M-30 122mm howitzer behind the BM-21 Grad MLRS in that video. A bunch of the techincals in the earlier video are carrying either a large mortar or possibly more M-30s. 92/pic.twitter.com/aLxPhIiMd0
