Again, they copied the one true system ... PHALANX, made by General Dynamics Pomona Division, Pomona, California.

I guess I’m out of touch — Is Turkey having a war with Libya?

Rules of Engagement w/ Muslims

1) If Infidels are present / available, Shia and Sunni sects will merge to annihilate and subjugate the Kafirs (non-believers) after raping, pillaging, enslaving (physically and monetary) and wasting by wanton stupidity (from inbreeding [no excuse for Democrats])

2) If no Infidels are present / available, Shia will turn against Sunni sects to annihilate and subjugate each other over a quarrel of the origin of the ‘religion’ of Islam

So the only question is, are you a Muslim or an Infidel?

Khalifa Haftar's yearlong Tripoli offensive against the Ankara-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) began to collapse. Believed to have been supplied to the Libyan strongman as early as last year by his backers [Iran's stooges] in the Gulf, the Russian system was meant to be used as a trump card against Turkey's combat unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) air interdiction operations... Analysis of open source data has estimated that up to 9 Pantsir units were lost in quick succession to UAV strikes during May, with footage of the strikes going viral on social media. To add insult to injury, a tenth Pantsir system was dramatically captured by GNA forces, and to great fanfare paraded through Tripoli as a war trophy. It is speculated that the captured Pantsir's final fate is to be picked apart for intelligence purposes.

Nothin' worse than bein' pantsedired on TV.
