Reports Speculate French Combat UAVs Strike GNA Forces Near Tripoli

Support SouthFront

Several Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs) of the French Air Force carried out airstrikes on forces loyal to the Government of National Accord (GNA) near the Libyan capital of Tripoli in the early hours of April 18, according to the claims of multiple Libyan sources.

The sources reported that the airstrikes targeted gatherings and vehicles of pro-GNA forces near the towns of Wadi al-Rabi’a and Tajoura, south and east of Tripoli.

France is known for operating at least 16 US-made MQ-9 Reaper UCAVs, which were bought in 2013. The French version of the UCAV was not armed. However, earlier this year France signed a contract with General Atomics to arm its Reapers with AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles.

While France indeed owns armed UCAVs, there is no evidence confirming that the recent airstrikes on Wadi al-Rabi’a and Tajoura were carried out by the French Air Force. Observers believe that the UAE might have been behind these strikes.

The UAE is maintaining a large military presence in the al-Khadim airbase south of the district of Marj in western Libya. A report of IHS Jane’s revealed that the UAE has six IOMAX AT-802i BPA light attack and recommission warplanes, two Chinese-made CAIG Wing Loong UCAVs and two Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters in al-Khadim airbase.

Despite the lack of any evidence, the GNA slammed France for supporting the Libyan National Army (LNA), that’s advancing towards Tripoli, in an official statement released in the afternoon of April 18. The international-recognized government even suspended security cooperation with France.

The GNA’s reaction may encourage Paris to support the LNA. The army’s Commander-in-Chief Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar is already receiving massive support from the UAE and Egypt. He is also enjoying good relations with Russia.

We don’t actually know it was a French drone. Could be Russian. Now that would put a different complexion on things.

I gather France and Britain got some of the Libyan gold during the first NATO heist, which France needed because Germany wanted its gold back which the French had sold. So I assume there is something else they want to steal, and Haftar has agreed to help with the theft. I’m not sure what they want to steal, oil perhaps?

goingbrokes

German Gold reserve was always in the US.

And France. In January 2013, the German central bank (Deutsche Bundesbank) announced plans to repatriate 300 tonnes of its 1,500 tons of gold from the US and 374 tonnes from France by 2020, in order to have half (1,695.3 tonnes) of its official gold reserves stored in Frankfurt.

The gold in the U.S. was earned by West Germany through trade surpluses in the 1950s and 1960s and was never moved out of the United States due to fear of invasion by the Soviet Union. In 2013, a mere 5 tonnes were shipped due to logistical difficulties. However, Germany repatriated 120 t in 2014 (35 tonnes from Paris, 85 t from New York), 210 t in 2015 (110.5 t from Paris and 99.5 t from New York)[19] and 200 t in 2016.[20]

Sukhoi

I keep saying this, if LNA want to reach Tripoli, they first need to 1) capture Al-Aziziyah pocket 2) cut road to Misrata 3) cut road to Al Zawiyah they cannot take Tripoli without besieging it

abuqahwa

I agree, but the coastal road west is already blocked by LNA in areas of Sabrata and Zeltin so militia gangs in Zwara and Zawiyah are cut off. It is imperative (and has been from Day 1 ) that the Tripoli to Misrata MSR , which is the main land route for the Misrata brigades, be cut between Tajura and Qasr al-Qarabuli ASAP. I believe Azaziyah junction is now controlled by GNA forces but this is OK as long as Gharian remains loyal to LNA.

Sukhoi

good point. but what do you think about French UAV strikes against GNA? They’ve denied it. Do you think Russia will soon start airstrikes in support of LNA?

goingbrokes

Could be Russian drones, who knows?

Just keep burning down more prominent churches because they are more pagan than genuine.
