The Libyan National Army received a battleship after a visit by the Russian military.

After Russian military aircraft arrived in Libya a few weeks ago, as confirmed by publicly available information resources, it became known that a warship had appeared in service with the Libyan National Army. We are talking about the Soviet patrol ship of project 1159 "Dolphin", which until recently was in very poor condition and could not even leave the port. It is assumed that by the forces of the Russian military, the sea vessel was repaired, and now a ship has appeared in service with the Haftar army, which can easily deal with Turkish ships located off the coast of Libya.

“The Libyan National Army, led by Marshal Khalifa Haftar, has reinforced its fighting units in the port city of Sirte, located 450 kilometers east of Tripoli, with 80 pieces of heavy armored vehicles. In addition, in anticipation of the battle for Sirte, a warship appeared at the disposal of Haftar's army. The LNA military vessel has been based in the port of Ras Lanuf since September 5, representatives of the National Oil Corporation (NOC) of Libya reported. This area is part of a region that contains about 80 percent of the country's oil reserves. Presumably, we can talk about a patrol ship of the project 1159-TP "Dolphin", which was returned to the course. The ships of this project are armed with a twin gun mount AK-726 caliber 76,2 mm, anti-ship missiles P-20, as well as an air defense system ", - about it сообщает Russian edition "Reporter".

Such weapons, despite its age, are quite enough to clear the waters with the Turkish warships in them, and, apparently, the weapons were also prepared to fight enemy ships.

It should be noted that the real purpose of the visit of the Russian military to Libya is unknown, however, the presence of the latter in this country is officially denied.
