On Feb. 24, 2017, photographs taken by Libyan National Army Air Force technicians — and which appeared on social media — revealed that Russia appears to have supplied at least one warplane to forces under the command of Marshal Khalifa Haftar.
Haftar’s army, concentrated in eastern Libya and based in Tobruk, is the chief rival of the U.N.-backed Government of National Accord based in the western capital of Tripoli. The 73-year-old marshal, who once lived in exile near the CIA headquarters in Virginia, has received military support from Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, among other countries.
And, as the evidence strongly suggests, Russia as well.
Based on the tail shape, it should be a MiG-23M (M, MF, MS) or MiG-23UB as the line is not straight as it should be in a MiG-23ML (ML, MLA, MLD).
