Libya: Alleged Russian S-300 system spotted near strategic city

Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem,Sr S-300 PMU-2 long-range air defense system deployed by the Algerian army in southern Algeria. A Russian-made S-300 air defense system has been spotted near the strategic port-city of Sirte in north-central Libya. According to conflict observers, a photo taken east of Sirte allegedly shows the presence of an S-300 air defense system, which is something that Libya did not previously possess.
