In 2008/9, there were several attempts at updating the Libyan military that never went ahead. First of all, the Khamis Brigade attempted to buy Little Bird helicopters from the US but were rejected, let's assume they weren't.
Next, Mutassim tried to form his own special forces brigade along the lines of the one commanded by his brother, but this never happened for some reason. Let's assume he gets this brigade.
Finally, in 2009, Mutassim was pressing to fully modernize the Libyan military, yet it never went ahead for unknown reasons. Let's assume it does go ahead.
I have no doubt that the money for these upgrades were there.
My question is this: With a much fitter Libyan military, how does the civil war go?
