A Libyan Air Force MiG-21 was shot down yesterday by forces of “General Haftar” who besieged the capital Tripoli.
The video shows that two anti-aircraft missiles were launched against the aircraft, probably portable MANPADS SA-7.
The pilots seem to have used their ejected seats as shown by photos of parachutes posted on the internet.
