LIBYA (Merged) Use this thread ONLY
It appears that lack of air sorties has allowed the Colonel's very own troops to send the rebels packing from Ras Lanuf. Sirte is apparently no longer under threat.

Some rather intriguing antennas visible in this sequence of shots as well; Racal wideband VHF/UHF, Andrew microwave link, low-band Yagis, HF NVIS and suchlike. Wonder what the target is/was?

I look forward to seeing the test firing in the next installment. I hope they remember to close the sun-roof before letting rip...
I'd have thought they would have been better pimping their ride by welding a couple of stub wings on the doors of the pick-up for mounting the pods.

That would make it one directional which means driving at the enemy (and therefore longer to get out of range) as opposed to a 360 degree system they have which means attacking from any direction.

Not another Rudolph Hess situation going on is there?
I guess we are a bit more propaganda savvy these days and will milk this for everything we can.

I've just been watching some video reports on the BBC news website showing an RAF man being a crew member of a twin seat French jet, a mirage I think. It implied that the jet had been on sortie over Libya and had fired weapons. Is this routine? Does the French airforce need English speakers to be able to communicate with people on the ground or is this some sort of arrangement that existed prior to the Libyan crisis?
Maybe the RAF in theatre with their 14 planes have too many crew while the French airforce with their 100 or so planes have too few.
