The CDO Brigade’s simulated raid on an IS-NA stronghold was one of the more impressive segments of the drills, showing huge progress in LAAF counterterrorism capability.
Still, the standout remains the quad-mounted support weapons teams fielding AGS-30s & RPO-Shmels.

@MTailamun @piersmorgan Damage control at its nastiest.

You’re a psychopath. No wonder Israel’s reputation is plunging around the world with people like you in its Govt.

@MTailamun @AtlanticCouncil Oh yes definitely. Other than for the sake of professionalism, one would hardly need a citation for that observation.
Can't imagine someone with Ibrahim's charisma trying to literally "rob a bank" or something similar.

@LibyaFieldNotes @AtlanticCouncil the "Charisma" part stands though.

5 years of collective confusion.

@Wafi89882009 Sure there are lots of negative points, but this one wasn't. The rapport between him and the troops seems way closer than the 12 rank gap.

@LibyaFieldNotes Its clear for enemy and friend tbey build army of course there r alot of negative points there but with the situation of the country you cant do anything with 100% succesful

On the other hand:
A subtle moment the LAAF media missed: Gen. Saddam gestures for the troops to dial down their enthusiasm during his father’s closing speech, with an almost immediate response from the ranks.Good camaraderie and command presence.

No matter how hard the General Command tries to manage optics, these two [in the middle] will always stick out like a sore thumb.

Some of the best unofficial footage from the 309th Division drill, featuring:
• Divisional Close Air Support (CAS) wing from Mi-35s supporting an armored advance spearheaded by a mix of T-72 variants, with a cameo from the LAAF's MiG-29s.
• Divisional Artillery MLRS salvos.

Also that light shower must have felt like heaven for the troops after spending two weeks battling the sand and dust.

@LibyaFieldNotes Has the exercise location been determined?

Aside from heavy armour, the LAAF appears to be adopting a light cavalry-style force mounted on bikes and ATVs.
Featuring dragoons on desert bikes, alongside quad-mounted platoon support weapons (AGS-30) & Kornet ATGM teams.
Someone in the GC has been binge watching 🇺🇦/🇷🇺 vids.

@ahmed48al Yes, its juxtaposition with the Russian Tigers is a deliberate optic.
English
@LibyaFieldNotes Interesting, honestly I don't see a real need for it with all the other vehicles... In my opinion the main reason they got some of them is for the Public Appearance you know to look more western and modren army I guess

Correction: the LAAF now operates [at least 3] T-72B3M Obr.2025, as well as the BMP-3M. Credit to @WillKnowler for the tanks' precise ID.

@MTailamun Ethereal.
Any idea on the purpose of the glasshouse in the background? Spotted multiple times but couldn't deduce its purpose.

@Dellen010101 Neat. We still haven't seen any night time activities online yet.
