In a apparent response to Turkey delivering dozens of the BMC Kirpi armoured vehicle to forces allied with the U.N.-backed Government of National Accord (GNA), Jordan has delivered an unknown number of its indigenous KADDB Al-Mared 8×8 armoured vehicle, as well as the Paramount Mbombe 6×6 armoured vehicle to Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA).

The GNA is currently fighting to prevent the Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA) from taking the Libya capital, Tripoli.

Haftar’s forces: the LNA, launched an offensive to control Tripoli in early April. As the fighting drags on, the United Nations estimated that more than 75,000 people have fled their homes and 126 civilians have been killed.

Since 2014, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egypt have provided the LNA with military equipment such as aircraft and helicopters, helping Haftar to gain the upper hand in Libya’s eight-year conflict, according to previous U.N. reports.
