Do military...places of learning...have some sort of 24/7 monitoring? I have never thought about it...but from what I know of what my husband does in the military, I imagine there are divisions(?) of them solely charged with watching the air. Like what they do at airports, monitoring the skies.
I know I’m not putting any of this in the right way, I’m half asleep. But hopefully makes enough sense to get an answer.

Yeah, it's kind of surprising to have an army with no air defense. Maybe they don't have the funding to keep them running.

As others have stated, this was probably not an anti-personnel munition. In a way it makes sense to stick with an anti-armor variant, unless you know you're going to be targeting squishy humans.

While an anti-armor munition won't kill as many soldiers, it retains the capability to take out a greater range of equipment.

Now if you want to just scour an area clean without resorting to explosives, you can't go wrong with an A-10 strafing run.

Jump to 4:45 for the fireworks.

Ask yourself why something would be called an airstrike, and you might figure out why you’re an airhead.

The group that bombed them are supported by france and russia so its possible the attackers have better gear than hitfers regime. The people you see are the military guys for the de facto government and have the same geae that gaddafis men had.

In short no, they dont really have an air force and probably dont have ground to air tech

Never, ever, see Libya in the U.K. news any more, not a single mention.
