No one knows which terrorist groupings have got hold of man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) stolen from army depots in Libya after the Western countries’ attempts to establish democracy there with the use of force, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
"To all appearances, our Western colleagues have not yet become fully aware of the consequences of their military operations of the past few years in the countries of the Middle East and Africa," Lavrov said, responding to a TASS question.
"They believed that they would destroy the regimes of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Qaddafi and immediately democracy would triumph in Iraq and Libya. Instead, chaos came to reign there and army depots and arsenals abandoned by the military were ransacked there," the Russian foreign minister said.
"No one knows in the hands of which terrorist groupings these systems most dangerous for aviation [about 500 Strela and Igla shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile complexes] may be - the ISIL, Jabhat al-Nusra, Al Qaeda (terrorist groupings outlawed in Russia). Likewise, no one knows when and where this weapon will be used next time," Lavrov said. ...More: http://tass.com/politics/895527
