Militants using MANPADS shot down MiG-23 air force of Libya

68
There were reports that the terrorists shot down the MiG-23 plane of the Libyan air force in the sky over Benghazi. Initially, local media reported that a military aircraft crashed due to a technical malfunction. Now it became known about the attack of the aircraft with a rocket of a portable anti-aircraft missile system. The model of MANPADS is not reported.

Militants using MANPADS shot down MiG-23 air force of Libya




The attack on the plane of the MANPADS missile reported to the representatives of the command of a Libyan military pilot who managed to eject in time.

It is known that the Libyan air forces today launched a major operation against the militants of the Islamic State and Al-Qaida terrorist groups (both banned in the Russian Federation) in the Benghazi region. For several hours, the positions of terrorists to the west of the city, considered a stronghold of the Libyan opposition, were attacked from the air.

Military experts believe that the appearance of MANPADS from terrorists in Libya can be regarded as a development of the situation with the announcement of US officials to approve the supply of such weapons to "moderate oppositionists" in the Middle East, in particular, to Syria. Considering the fact that Syria’s “moderate oppositionists” have contacts with Al-Qaida’s affiliate Al-Nusra Front (also banned in the Russian Federation), the appearance of Al-Qaida’s MANPADS in Libya remained a matter of the near future. It seems that this time, unfortunately for the Libyan Air Force, has come ...

        In Qatar, they will not be shot down by allies and sponsors of these same terrorists
        The USA is far overseas and they believe that MANPADS will not penetrate into their country
        And in the EU for a long time already they all spit on, they completely lost their authority and became simply hand lapdogs of the USA of Israel and other enemies of the world on our planet.

                  Wrong, it happens.

                  But as you have already noticed - this is a variable and depends on the air temperature.
                  The speed you specify will be at 0 degrees.
                  But usually indicate the speed at room temperature, and it will be approximately 340 m / s.
                  And in that typo that I made, a similar speed will be at a temperature of just over 100 degrees Celsius.

              Characteristics can be overestimated for advertising purposes, especially since there is no data on their use in military operations.
              It is interesting that it is used in the engine as fuel, that with such a mass, it supposedly provides such a speed.

                The speed of the rocket doesn’t make any sense to overestimate - and the engine is more likely to use a high-energy powder mixture. The laser guidance system is a semiautomatic device, all electronic warfare systems, including thermal traps against it, are useless - we would like such a MANPADS.

                  18 January 2017 05: 56
                  The fact that there is solid fuel is already clear. And the rocket speed, given the firing range and the flight speed of the target, which will be in the region of 700 m / s, does not make sense with regard to MANPADS.
                  Why?
                  Response time.
                  A person simply does not have time to react. Or, he will have to bring the MANPADS into combat position in advance and know the direction of fire that will be issued to him from the radars. But these radars work in conjunction with other air defense systems and can bring down a high-speed target themselves.
                  Also, I am not a chemical physicist, but in principle it is possible to calculate what kind of energy is needed in order to accelerate a rocket with a mass of tens of kilograms to supposedly 4 km / s for 5-1.3 seconds.
                  It is unlikely that the mass of the powder mixture will be more than a couple kg. The remaining weight is the body, engine and the striking element.
                  In general, I want to say that I doubt the declared speed.

    As promised by the Nobel hell, the United States still put in the MANPADS region. Critters, I won’t be amazed if a igil also has a nuclear weapon.

    Everyone forgot how the right sector on the sly in Western Ukraine in one of the military units "took" 24 sets of MANPADS in 2014 (raise the press)

      Yes, no, they have not forgotten, just all MANPADS have one quality that can be considered both good and bad, depending on how you look at it. The shelf life of the missiles is FINAL, after which they can only be used as sinkers ...

        The shelf life of any weapon is FINAL, with regard to MANPADS, the shelf life of disposable batteries is critical there. I do not recommend using them as sinkers - the fish in the pond after this will rest.

    .A helicopters must remember the experience in Afghanistan. To extinguish the barmaley at night. For this, everything is there.

    And at night MANPADS "don't work"?

    Well try? It will turn out to be the chief designer. Especially against the Night Hunter. hi

      I don't need to try, there are enough of their own main ones. And here is a Night Hunter, not a Night Hunter. "Stinger" machine is serious and works well at night too.

        I had nothing to do with the Stinger, but it happened with domestic MANPADS. This is not such an easy-to-use weapon as is commonly believed among ordinary people.
        As for this video, several points are noteworthy:
        1. On the MANPADS apparently there is a sight with a night channel.
        2. The target search is carried out in a narrow sector, the calculation of MANPADS clearly knows in advance from which direction an unmanned target will appear. Shooting is carried out in greenhouse conditions, in the absence of countermeasures.
        3. But even in this case, the defeat of the target does not occur in 100% of launches.

    First google. I don’t like familiarity
    Familiarity and respect, of course, are different things, but even those like Mr. Mechelson and Deripaska are not particularly vigorous. I personally am 47 years old and I think calling me "you" is the height of disrespect.
    I have the honor

    Let's start with the fact that not Mechelson, but Leonid Michelson.
    I am not familiar with them, so I don’t know how these gentlemen vomit, especially or not especially.
    I am older than you. When at 47 years old a person pokes, and he considers it to be the highest of respect, this speaks first of all about his level of education and the environment where he received it.
    And you will save your honor when you send a link to your information.
    All the best!

    The main thing is that the pilot is alive, he is more expensive than an airplane.

    I hope several NATO flyers will be sent away, maybe after that the brains will turn on ...
