#LNA forces have downed a #Turkish #TB2 south of #Tripoli

3 ACV-15 destroyed in Tripoli

We are launching a new #CSDP operation today. With #IRINI, the EU significantly contributes to efforts aimed at ending the conflict in #Libya and shows that even amidst #COVID19 crisis, we are committed to promote peace.

Another TB2

They crash but never get destroyed totally. Could even be refurbished and put back into service ...

Tail structures seem to be a weak point... though perhaps destroyed in the crash.

Across a few crashed drones and make your own tails you could probably get a few flying again with some work...

Looks like LNA may be requesting AShM next

Turky from ships targets LNA, interesting

It's RIM-66 missile , seems it was intercepted by LNA defences .

It is a Mach 3.5 SAM, it is not likely LNA has the defences to stop it.

It's an air defence missile. Probably used against a drone.

Su-22 from SAA escaped an AMRAAM. Lybian mig 23 could do as good as the su 22.

It could but it could also do much worse...

The missile didn't explode , the warhead and missile body were found

Nice catch, time to sell some stuff on "eBay"

That's piece of junk. No one wants it.

I hope for those turkish sailors no one fire a ASM at them because if it can intercept a drone what do they expect against a low flying anti ship missile ?

I suggest TB-2 to be sent to Russia , as Turkey already sold it to Ukraine.

For what ? Pantsirs destroy them pretty easily. There is nothing to learn from that piece of crap. At 5 million each Turkey just lost probably close to 100 million $ in Syria and Lybia with this drone.

Then add the crappy Anka which is 2x more expensive and the shitty MRAPs their lybian militias lost in huge numbers. In 2 or 3 months they will have lost almost 1 billion in equipment.

Always interesting to look at designs others produce, remember we are talking about a design that probably had lots of competition, so it probably does a few things right and it never hurts to look at solutions other people came up with for various problems.

They might use a clever datalink system that is more efficient or lighter and longer ranged than the ones you currently use, or the camera might be better stabilised or use particularly good stabilisation software or whatever... or you might find there is space for a HE charge if you want to fit it... which would be useful information to those having to face it not to just let it fly towards them for example.

It might not be of any value at all, but just seeing some alternative choices or similar choices they made in the design is always useful for any designer.

When starting to design something you always analyse existing solutions to see how they solved the various problems... it is not a question of copying as such, but just like with the Soviet Buran and the US Space Shuttles... if NASA is going to spend 5 years and 2 billion dollars working out the perfect exterior shape... why waste your own money trying to make it different?

Of course they didn't want their shuttle to be the same and it is actually rather different... think of the US space shuttle as an C-130 transport plane but because it is going on an enormously long trip it needs an enormous external fuel tank to carry all the fuel it needs, which makes it too heavy to move even at full engine power so two solid rocket boosters are needed to get it moving. The Buran is a glider that sits on top of a big powerful rocket called Energyia... you can actually replace the Buran with a fairing with a 120 ton object to launch directly into space if you want to, which makes it much more flexible and actually much cheaper...
