Turkish F-16s were useless against the Pantsir-C1 air defense missile system.

The Pantsir-C1 air defense missile systems deployed by the Libyan National Army in the area of ​​the Libyan capital turned out to be a formidable weapon not only against the forces of the Government of National Unity, but also against the Turkish F-16 fighters. As it turned out, during the assault by the army of Haftar Tripoli, the Turkish Air Force planned to launch an air strike, however, due to the receipt of information about the redeployment of the Pantsir-C1 air defense missile system, the special operation had to be postponed, since in this case, the Russian and Arab air defense systems simply would destroy the F-16.

When exactly the similar incident occurred - the source does not report.

Experts draw attention to the fact that the Pantsir-C1 air defense missile systems are short-range air defense systems, however, even despite this fact, the Turkish Air Force considers them a formidable weapon, which, by the way, can easily destroy the F-16, especially if the latter try to use aerial bombs or short-range missiles.

It should be clarified that to date, on the account of the Pantsir-C1 ZRPK, a large number of downed planes and droneless aircraft are already listed, which indicates the high efficiency of the use of this type of weapon, at its relatively low cost.
