The Libyan Army has reportedly downed a MiG- 25 plane belonging to the Dawn of Libya militia in Zintan, Wednesday. The plane allegedly bombed Zintan airport earlier in the day. It was shot down as it was flying over the north-west of the city. A crowd formed around the aircraft. They stood on the burnt wreckage and scrawled graffiti on the MiG’s wing.

Undoubtedly something cultural: people climbing on top of burning wreckage as if to claim the territory... The dog of the neighbors has the same with trees.

This lot are supposed to be the "good guys" in Libya.

Mind you though,
if ever an aircraft crashes down on ISIS-territory I for one would be very glad to see these "koppensnellers" jumping up and down in the middle of a raging composites carbon fibre fire,
preferably "down wind".

Why
Well, RAF and USAF personnel have already found out why unfortunately.

Looks like "124" on the tail.
