The Rebel Military Council admitted that it was one of their own. The media were recording celebrations by people in Benghazi thinking that it was a Gaddafi MiG. They are not having much luck with their captured air assets. The Rebels lost a MiG-21 on the 17th and now this MiG-23.
Who’s flying these jets? Active duty fighter jocks who came over to their side? Reservists from the east? Civilian pilots?
Even if they’re real fighter jocks, I can see them getting beat up pretty badly. No ground control support to speak of, outnumbered, probably not even a wingman available...Amazing what men will do for freedom.
