Scud-B Missiles (R-17/R-300 USSR designation) have a maximum range of ~300 km, with an accuracy of within 450m, presuming they are actually SCUD-B type missiles without any technological upgrades since the 1960-1970 era, Lybia's long-range defensive capabilities seem relatively trivial compared to most modern countries'. | ||

The report came as Libya's defence minister was due to visit Russia in the latest sign of renewed cooperation between Moscow and the North African state, which enjoyed close ties during the Cold War. "Libya is ready to buy around 20 fighter planes, at least two divisions of S-300PMU2 air defence systems and several dozen T-90S tanks from Russia, and also to modernise more than 140 T-70 tanks and other weapons," the source said. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5htO8-7-hk_FjRVIfTLTSq2_1UfWg | ||

You want to see the UN with fire under their ass? By all means, fire a missile at a European EU country. They are only slow at the moment because they are still wondering if their self interests warrant an intervention(which it seems to have determined yes...finally)....this is irrelevant the moment Libya attempts to attack another country. | ||

Mr Obama said Col Gaddafi's troops must pull back from rebel-held towns including Benghazi, and the authorities must allow in humanitarian aid. "If he does not comply, the international community will impose consequences," said Mr Obama. "The resolution will be enforced by military action." But the US president stressed that the initiative was an international effort. "The United States is not going to deploy ground troops into Libya and we're not going to use force to go beyond a well-defined goal, specifically the protection of civilians in Libya," he said. | ||

Even if an invasion of Benghazi isn't possible or successful, the rest of the country is still under control of the government for the most part. The city is isolated. If the rebellion isn't outright stopped, it will be slowly smothered. It will certainly not grow beyond the current point, and if it isn't in Tripoli, then it's fruitless. As for attacking other countries, especially in Europe, that will never happen, it's just empty threats like the North Koreans do every now and then. | ||

The problem i now see is the libyan army feels threatened from outside, like a cornered mouse with their adrenaline all high up. The moment outside threats appear, the neutral and pro-gadafi population/army/libyans will just get more motivation and tighten up around him. I doubt UN took that into consideration, we still don't have a clue how much is with Gaddafi and how much against. I start to think there's less people against him than those with him, arguments being the slow down in rebbels numbers, the ceasing of protests and no more betrayals in the army's ranks. | ||

There have been several protests in Tripoli and Sirte not so long ago. They raised the rebel flag on one of the buildings in Sirte. Sirte is his birth town btw. Also there isn't a lot more gadaffi can do except what he is doing now. And it looks like nobody is impressed by it if we go by Obama's words. Plus the rebels gained a lot of momentum when the no fly zone got accepted by the UN. The situation is just very unclear atm we'll have to see how things turn out let's hope they'll turn out good for the people there. | ||

Right, but hopefully you did. Hundreds of experts have failed to see this, but thank god internet geniuses manage to see through this. Please read your statements before posting. | ||
