A Libyan rebel fires on a government jet as a facility burns on the frontline on March 9, 2011 near Ras Lanuf, Libya.

Not much of a story to this striking image but guess this is the relevant forum for it.

That certainly is a unique anti-aircraft gun.

The so called Libyan rebels are not Libyan, but are Al Qaeda jihadists from somewhere else. They are actually mercenaries, paid for by NATO, to try and topple the Libyan regime. Worse yet, news has come out that the rebel terrorists are now using children, to fight on the front lines of this attack.

When you start using children to fight, it can only lead to worse things.

Funny how we are fighting Al Qaeda jihadists in Afghanistan and are calling them terrorists, but are backing them in another country and are calling them rebels.

I'm confused by it all!

Lets see him smile when a MiG-23 drops a RB-500 bomb on his face.

That was actually taught in WW1. When #2 gunner is incapacitated and cannot support the weapon over his head....this was what they were told and trained to do.

Don't you know? The whole Libyan affair was perpetrated by Sarkozy many months before.

the real difference is in the modern aircraft compared to WWI aircraft. also i would think he would atleast use the sights.
