Russia has transferred to eastern Libya the air defense systems it had deployed in various areas of Syria in support of ally Bashar Assad, a former Assad official told the German news agency "Dpa", confirming what was partly anticipated also from the Wall Street Journal and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Analysts from the German Defense Ministry quoted by the German agency speak of the possibility that Russia will obtain privileged access to the Libyan port of Tobruk to transfer military components there, thanks to the support of Khalifa Haftar. According to the Dpa source, tanks were also brought to Libya.
