The Russian Wagner forces and the Turkish Syrian fighters can each wage a proxy war and try out new methods of warfare including new-fangled Chinese drones etc.
Quote: Haftar's fighters have failed to reach the center of Tripoli but have made small gains in recent weeks in some southern suburbs of the capital with the help of Russian and Sudanese fighters, as well as drones shipped by the UAE, diplomats say. The Chinese-made drones have given Haftar "local air superiority" as they can carry over eight times the weight of explosives than the drones given to the GNA by Turkey and can also cover the whole of Libya, a U.N. report said in November.

Erdogan seems to want to get Algeria involved too.
