LNA operating South African-made G5 155 mm howitzers
The Libyan National Army (LNA) is now operating new artillery systems including South African-made 155 mm G5 gun-howitzer and Serbian multiple rocket launchers (MRLs).
A video released on 14 November showing the artillery systems in an LNA live-fire exercise which featured “specialised battalions, artillery, armour, missiles, military engineering, special forces, the air force, and the parachute team.”
The G5 artillery were likely acquired from the United Arab Emirates, which procured six second-hand G5s in 1991/93 and 78 self-propelled G6 howitzers in 2013/14 from South Africa according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s arms transfers database.
In the exercise, three 130 mm M-46 and three 122 mm D-30 guns were also seen, along with mortars of various calibres and three MRLs.
For a long time, the UAE has been supportive of Khalifa Haftar’s Forces with various light and heavy military equipment. UAE is believed to have supplied Pantsir-S1 air defence systems and Javelin anti-tank missiles to the LNA, several of which have been captured.
Also, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt have provided the LNA with armoured vehicles including Panthera T6, Inkas Titan-DS, Typhoon, Mbombe and, KADDB al-Mared, Caiman armoured vehicles, and aircraft including MiG-21 fighter aircraft and Mi-24/35P helicopters since 2014.

Most likely Turkish Supplied HK G3's or HK33's they also seemed to be equipped with the M203.
Interesting to see Turkish surplus weapons being used and supplied. Hk G3 and Hk33 are fine weapons that are still proving their worth today.

Do they really think that the Americans are dumb and dont know the truth?
What are those tweets supposed to do? What effect does UAE expect from it?
Its too obvious that UAE needs US protection just as it needed UK protection a couple decades ago for its independence hence the recent sucking of offensive from their side, they should just pour more money into US military industry complex, this might save their azz a while, maybe.

I don’t understand why military vehicles always parked neatly in a line.

Just making it easier and also sorting them that way. They can't park them all scattered around like a little children who were just playing with a construction puzzle
Every vehicle have its destination and maybe even configuration difference and numbers. In order not to complicate things that's the way they park them.
