Borderline insanity. This might as well be the first time ever an official state statement mentions the #EpsteinFiles , not even Iran or North Korea did this.
And somehow it worked [maybe?], #POTUS 's PR team just pulled a complete turnaround:
Statement No. (14) of 2026 Issued by the Libyan Government Regarding the Offensive Statement Made by @realDonaldTrump (One of the Visitors to the Dirty #Epstein Island) Against the State of #Libya and Its People.
As noted in our 20 July post & tactical map, Algeria's shift of focus towards northern Niger has been underway since early 2024.
We may now see more direct friction between 🇩🇿's APNA & 🇱🇾's LAAF, amid a complex web of proxies, armed groups and competing regional interests.
Evidently this post will attract unwanted attention from bot farms and uniformed commentators, so replies will be turned off.
One overlooked element of last week’s drill was the simulated deployment of heli-borne sniper overwatch, using Aérospatiale SA 342 Gazelles carrying teams with Dragunov SVDS DMRs & Orsis T-5000 sniper rifles to simulate suppressing potential MANPADS ahead of fast-rope assault.

So soon? We didn't even get to see the wedding photos! guess we'll just have to take @ilfoglio_it 's word for it then.
The honeymoon between Netanyahu and Haftar is (already) over. Retaliation is expected after the agreement between Libya and Turkey on borders - via @ilfoglio_it

Far from the newly ratified EEZ demarcation [some 2,050 km to the southwest] a man still clings adamantly to his ambitions, yet seems aware enough to acknowledge their immediate infeasibility with an ironic Freudian slip
Don't expect any major developments in Fezzan anytime soon
أوضحت غرفة عمليات تحرير الجنوب أنَّ العمليات الدعائية التي يروّج لها معسكر الرجمة في قاعدة الواو جنوبًا، معقل المرتزقة، ليست إلا حملات دعائية لتلميع صورته أمام المجتمع الدولي
♦️إن التنازلات التي يقدمها معسكر الرجمة هي سبيل تمكينه من السلطة تحت راية التبعية
♦️نتابع الأوضاع المأساوية التي يعاني منها الجنوب، من افتقاد للخدمات ومقومات العيش الكريم، في ظل الترهيب.
♦️نؤكد أننا لن نحيد عن مبادئنا في استرجاع فزان وحقوقها، وأننا ماضيون في تحقيق الأهداف التي تأسست من غرفة تحرير الجنوب من أجلها.
In case anyone was wondering about the downpour of Turkish supplied equipment to the LAAF in the past few weeks, from the TB3 and Akinci UAVs, to the BMC Amazon MRAPs and finally the MKE Tolga SHORAD and who knows whatelse:
Up next, Al-Watiya?

#Libya
"new" here is a bit of a stretch.
GNU's FBS done an incredible job restoring many of the abandoned vehicles by the LAAF in Tarhuna [covered in a timeless piece by @oryxspioenkop ]
Including but not limited to
T-62M
T-55E
2S3 Akatsiya SPG
2x EE-9 Cascavel
And other equipment
⚡⚡️🇹🇷🇱🇾 Leaked footage circulating on social media, alongside excerpts from an official release, shows LAAF personnel receiving training on Türkiye’s MKE TOLGA short-range air-defence (SHORAD) and counter-UAS system made by @MKEgovtr [Makine ve Kimya Endüstrisi].
More on the equipment and fire arms displayed in the recent LAAF special forces parade/drills:
Assault rifles:
🇷🇺AK-15
🇷🇺AK-103
🇧🇾VSK-100
🇮🇹Nuova Jager Solid series M4?
GP Machine gun:
🇷🇸 Zastava M84
Sniper rifle:
🇷🇺Orsis T-5000
A very interesting large calibre [14.5mm?] AMR of unknown model also appeared in large numbers which LAAF special forces units.
The rifle was first spotted with the 604th brigade deployed in Northern Niger 7 months ago.
GNU's 211th armour bttln (of the 111th brgd) is back on the range & seems to have been further striped down to platoon-size by reallocating their 4 T-72 tanks to the 462nd infantry bttln (same brgd) seen in last week's column.
Notably: HQ T-55 with anti-FPVcage on the turret.
LAAF publicly display their Belarusian UAV fleet organic to the Sa'iqa special forces units:
Mirotvorets One-way attack UAV
Busel reconnaissance UAV
Hmmm,to my humble knowledge ,this the 1st visual evidence of what appears to be a Belarusian Strike UAV complex (by Mirotvorets) ,on #Libya/n soil.
I was wrong to assume it's another LNA chinese OTC VTOL, packaged nicely.
Thank you for asking.

This will need long thread once better footage is released but for now a couple of very interesting vehicles with LAAF Sa'iqa cool new gear:
🇺🇸 Polaris RZR Pro R 4 ultra light tactical with EO/IR surveillance gimbal.
🇯🇴 Al-Wahsh MRAP with Jadara Quad-Terminator ATGM launcher.
