Interesting story

I ran across this on the internet.  I hadn’t heard this particular story before regarding the French operations in Chad.

Libyan rebel MiG-25s

I previously noted that the Libyan rebel group, Libya Dawn was reported to be trying to get ex-LAF MiG-25s flying again to use as bombers against government forces.

Much to my surprise, they apparently got at least one of the two-seat trainer MiG-25s flying.  Unsurprisingly it apparently crashed or was shot down while being used as a bomber.

In this photo, the rebel group has apparently put some sort of insignia on he aircraft.

I will be interested to see what happens next.

MiG-25 news

Apparently Libyan rebels are trying to get some MiG-25s flying again, and apparently using them for ground attack.  Color me amazed if they manage to do it.

Ouch.

Man, this was expensive.  I cannot imagine the insurance fight that is going to take place on this claim. Remind me not to fly to Tripoli.

Devastating, if true

More info on the debacle in Libya.  Bing West is a respected military writer and reporter.  If what he says is true, someone needs to be punished.
