"...with great admiration I see all types of drones (of all nations in the world who possess some) in the Algerian neighborhood...", sarcasm off.
Recently drone spotted over Tripolis...
the text claims Turkish (Bayraktar TB2) but for me, it could be also an Israeli drone...(Heron 1 maybe).

If this was a TB2, then the reference picture in the video is misleading (if not to say totally wrong), which is a little/but not too much surprising, coming from south-front.

Let’s Talk About The Photo of Chinese-Built “Wing Loong” Drone (Likely Operated by UAE) over Libya.

Reports Attribute Recent Libyan Strikes to Mysterious Chinese- Built Drones Operated by UAE.
An interesting photo of a heavily-armed Chinese-built “Wing Loong” remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) re-surfaced on social media on Monday, July 1 after being initially posted on June 30, then deleted, as it flew over Libya. The aircraft has been attributed, although not confirmed, to be operated by the United Arab Emirates.

The fascinating photo first came to our attention from the definitive resource for Chinese military intelligence in the social media space, Modern Chinese Warplanes on Facebook. Administered by author and subject matter expert Andreas Rupprecht, the photo made its way from the Twitter page of French aviation reporter Harry Boone, @towersight on Twitter. The photo is reported to have first appeared on June 30 and showed the aircraft flying over Tripoli.

...UAE' Wing Loong over Libya ?

The Wing Loong drone and other very recent Chinese aircraft and defense developments are chronicled in Rupprecht’s definitive new books, “Modern Chinese Warplanes: Chinese Air Force- Aircraft and Units” and also in “Modern Chinese Warplanes: Chinese Army Aviation- Aircraft and Units” by Rupprecht, published by Harpia Publishing.

If you look closely at the photo, you can see this Wing Loong, also possibly referred to as a Chengdu Pterodactyl I, is heavily armed with a payload of what appears to be eight air-to-surface missiles under its wings. The angle of the sun illuminating the aircraft in the photo suggest the photo is either from the evening hours or from morning as the aircraft is brightly lit primarily from the side. The Wing Loong is likely carrying the Chinese Blue Arrow-7 air-to-surface missile, or BA-7. According to analyst and author Robert Wall as published in Aviation Week on June 12, 2012, “The semi-active laser weapon is designed for an effective range of 2 km to 7 km. It uses a tandem, high-explosive anti-tank warhead.”

A May 2, 2019 report by analyst and reporter Tom Kington on the Defense News website said that the United Arab Emirates has been using the Chinese-built Wing Loong RPAs to conduct precision strikes against Islamic militants in support of Libyan Gen. Khalifa Haftar. In his May 2, 2019 report, Kington wrote that, “Aircraft seen circling over the Libyan capital during nighttime raids in recent days were likely Chinese Wing Loong II drones operated by the United Arab Emirates, which is backing Haftar’s bid to overthrow the United Nations-backed government in the city, analysts claimed.”





The new Wing Loong photo and the aircraft’s operations over Libya are interesting because they add to the continuing story of China’s expansion of defense export in the region. Reporter Tom Kington quoted Jalel Harchaoui of the Clingendael Institute in the Netherlands as saying, “Buying drones from the U.S. takes time, is expensive and there is accountability, but buying Chinese drones is now cheap, fast and no one breathes down your neck — the floodgates are open.” Mr. Harchaoui has been a research fellow of the Clingendael Institute’s Conflict Research Unit since February, 2019. Harchaoui is a subject matter and research expert on Libya, including security and economic subject in the war-torn country.

Other interesting media that has surfaced recently of the Wing Loong’s operations include a little-viewed but high quality video on YouTube of what is attributed to be a Wing Loong RPA being shot down by Houthi militants over the northern Yemeni province of Saada on April 19, 2019. At the time it was downed, the report published in Southfront.org said the Wing Loong was carrying two AKD-10 laser-guided, air-to-surface missiles.

The aircraft was reportedly shot down using converted Soviet air-to-air missiles, such as the infra-red guided R-27T and R-73E, that have been repurposed as improvised surface-to-air missiles.



As with many recent Chinese defense aviation projects, the Wing Loong/ Chengdu Pterodactyl I remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) is manufactured by the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute. It first flew in 2009 and was introduced to service two years later in 2011. Ostensibly similar to the U.S.-built MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1 Predator drones, the Chinese Wing Loong has reportedly been sold to the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Indonesia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Uzbekistan and Egypt. The aircraft saw combat in March 2017 after being deployed by the Egyptians.

The Wing Loong has been built in several different versions with continual upgrades. It has an impressive endurance of 20-hours aloft and a reported range of 2,485 miles (4,000 kilometers) and can carry a payload of 2,200 lbs (1000 kg) of weapons.

Selon des médias proches du gouvernement de Tripoli, un wing loong, appartenant aux emiratis et mis à la disposition des forces de Haftar, est abattu lors d'une opération effectuée au dessus de Misrata.

U.S. Military Again Strikes ISIS in Southern Libya
By Eric Schmitt
Sept. 27, 2019

WASHINGTON — For the third time in a week, the United States military carried out an airstrike on Thursday against Islamic State fighters in southern Libya amid indications the terrorist group was seeking to exploit the country’s civil strife to increase its recruiting.

The Pentagon’s Africa Command said in a statement on Friday that the strike — which other officials said was carried out by an Air Force Reaper drone based in neighboring Niger — killed 17 militants in an unidentified location in southwest Libya.

“We will continue to pursue ISIS-Libya and other terrorists in the region, denying them safe haven to coordinate and plan operations in Libya,” Rear Adm. Heidi Berg, the command’s director of intelligence, said in the statement, noting that the strike was coordinated with the Libyan government in Tripoli.

The strike was the latest in a flurry of attacks in a largely ungoverned portion of the country. Earlier, the Africa Command said that on Sept. 19, an airstrike killed eight ISIS fighters in a compound in Murzuq, Libya, nearly 600 miles south of Tripoli, the capital. Five days later, the military said it killed 11 more fighters in an airstrike in the same area.

Taken together, the three missile attacks were the first American airstrikes this year in Libya against Islamic State or Qaeda fighters, after the military conducted six aerial attacks last year, most recently in November 2018.

Nathan Herring, a spokesman for the Africa Command at its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, declined to provide further details about the latest strike, saying analysts were still assessing its results.

Frederic Wehrey, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the author of “The Burning Shores: Inside the Battle for the New Libya,” cited social media reports in Libya saying that the strikes had targeted Malik Khazmi, a major ISIS facilitator and recruiter from Bani Walid.

Mr. Wehrey, who last visited Libya in June, said that Mr. Khazmi had been an important ISIS recruiter and architect of its clandestine fighter networks since 2014, surfacing in pivotal combat areas like Derna, Tripoli and Surt, before fleeing into the southern desert.

Until a drone strike against Qaeda fighters in southern Libya in March 2018, the Pentagon had focused its counterterrorism attacks in the country almost exclusively on Islamic State fighters and operatives farther north. Over several months in 2016, the military conducted nearly 500 airstrikes in the coastal city of Surt to destroy the Islamic State’s stronghold there.

Many ISIS leaders, like Mr. Khazmi, fled south before the fall of Surt, and from there have been trying to exploit the country’s security vacuum and civil strife to increase recruiting and reconstitute an effective guerrilla force, analysts said.

Mr. Wehrey cautioned that in the remote and politically fractured landscape of southern Libya, the line between who is a militant or terrorist or militiaman is frequently blurred, and there is the potential for these strikes to err and inflame ethnic and tribal tensions.

“There’s been collateral damage in the past,” he said.

Les combattants qui mènent l'opération « Volcan de la colère » contre Haftar ont utilisé un mortier très précis, ont-ils bénéficié de munitions de précision, par guidage GPS ou laser ?

...Selon l’AFRICOM, le drone en question effectuait une mission consistant à « évaluer la situation en matière de sécurité et surveiller les activités » des groupes « extrémistes violents », dans le cadre d’une coordination « avec les responsables gouvernementaux concernés ». Mais alors que la Libye compte deux gouvernements, le communiqué s’est gardé de donner des précisions à leur sujet.

Le type du drone perdu n’a pas non plus été précisé, si ce n’est qu’il n’était pas armé. Il pouvait alors s’agir d’un RQ-4 Global Hawk, opérant depuis la base de Sigonella, en Sicile, ou d’un MQ-9 Reaper basé à Agadez [Niger] ou, peut-être, en Grèce, où l’US Air Force en a déployé quelques exemplaires.

À noter que, deux jours avant l’annonce concernant l’appareil américain, l’état-major italien avait également indiqué avoir perdu un MQ-9A Reaper de l’Aeronautica Militare au-dessus de Tripoli. L’ANL avait assuré, plus tard, l’avoir abattu [probablement avec un système Pantsir S-1, de facture russe[mais utilisé par les Émirats arabes unis, ndlr] en expliquant l’avoir confondu avec un drone de fabrication turque.

Quoi qu’il en soit, ce 7 décembre, le général Stephen Townsend, le chef de l’US AFRICOM, a déclaré à l’agence Reuters que l’hypothèse la plus crédible pour expliquer la perte du drone américain au-dessus de Tripoli est qu’il a été abattu par un système anti-aérien d’origine russe.

Les servants de ce système « ne savaient pas qu’il s’agissait d’un engin américain sans pilote quand ils ont ouvert le feu », a affirmé le général Townsend. « Mais ils savent très certainement depuis à qui il appartient et ils refusent de le rendre. Ils disent qu’ils ne savent pas où il est mais je n’y crois pas », a-t-il ajouté, sans donner plus de précisions.

Le porte-parole de l’US AFRICOM, le colonel Christopher Karns, a ensuite expliqué que la responsabilité de la perte du drone revenait « soit à l’Armée nationale libyenne, soit à des mercenaires russes ». Et « les opérateurs du système de défense ont tiré par erreur sur ce drone pensant qu’il s’agissait d’un engin du camp opposé », a-t-il expliqué.

À plusiers reprises, ces dernières semaines, la diplomatie américaine a dénoncé « l’ingérence militaire de la Russie » qui « menace la paix, la sécurité et la stabilité en Libye ». Comme encore le 26 novembre dernier, par la voix de David Schenker, le secrétaire d’État adjoint américain pour le Moyen-Orient. « Nous avons transmis ce même message lors de discussions de haut niveau avec l’Armée nationale libyenne et au Gouvernement d’union nationale », a-t-il dit.
