The video below was published on Libyan social media on 10th December. The footage show the impact of a guided bomb on a sniper position in Ganfouda district in Benghazi. From 01:00, the noise of a turbo-propelled engine (like the IOMAX AT-802) can be hear until the explosion. The guided bomb seen on the screenshot seems to be a GBU-12 or GBU-58. This is the second video showing the clear engagement of United Arab Emirates Air Force in support of Libyan National Army operations against Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries (or SCBR) and Islamic State (IS).
Judging by the size of the blast, I'd say we're most likely looking at a GBU-12 strike.
ReplyDeleteAgree, I guess GBU-12 too
DeleteI didn't know that UAE still operated AT-802, I had thought they gave theirs to Jordan and Yemen after taking delivery of IOMAX Archangels.
