Russia Relocates S-400s and S-300s from Syria to Libya’s Eastern Region

Reports have emerged that Russia is transferring advanced air defense systems and military equipment from its military base in Syria to Libya.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) cited U.S. officials on Wednesday. The Russian military recently loaded S-400 and S-300 radar equipment onto transport planes and moved them to eastern Libya. Russian forces are also relocating personnel, military aircraft, and logistical equipment.

The eastern region of Libya, where Russia is moving its military equipment, is controlled by Khalifa Haftar, a Libyan warlord closely aligned with Russia. This has led to speculation that as the pro-Russian Bashar al-Assad regime collapses, Russia may relocate its Mediterranean military base in Syria to Libya. Russia has already been using the Wagner Group, a private military company, to leverage Libya as a transit hub to the African continent.

For years, Russia has operated naval and air bases in Syria as part of its support for the Assad regime. These military installations have served as a hub for Russia to bolster its influence in the Middle East and Africa. The Russian naval base in Tartus, Syria, was the only facility for the Russian Navy to resupply and repair ships in the Mediterranean.

Report: There is growing evidence that Libya will become the new Russian army base in the Mediterranean instead of Syria. Satellite images from Maxar have recorded several flights of Il-76 transport aircraft to the Al-Jufra airfield.

The Russian Armed Forces have already deployed S-300 and S-400 air defense systems at a base in eastern Libya.

The Il-76 military transport aircraft captured by the satellite camera are presumably continuing to transport military personnel and machinery from Khmeimim.

Whoever/whatever the govmint of Libya is, I don't believe they have control of the eastern part of their country. So the Ruskies may not be welcome there but in any case they appear to be making themselves further at home in the area of Libya under their control.
