Photo Collage: Staged War (just for fun)
1. Brave fighter for Libyan democracy, pan ataman Gratian of Taurida, I mean... of Benghazi, of course))
2. Look what I've got! Charismatic person, you can't deny that. I like him.
3. Two dead bodies and this guy again, holding Degtyaryov machine gun. Wow, a rarity! Did he rob a military museum or what?
4. Yet another rarity, P-15 Termit ASM. If they'd have got smth like P-500, Gaddafi might have a good chance attacking coalition forces on sea.
5. Norinco Co.! Chinese weaponry, probably copy of Igla or Strela-2 MPADS.
6. Journalist foxhounds are hunting.
7. Photosession))
8. Soviet 125mm HE ammo with unrecognised markings on them (East European?). BTW insurgent managed to break at least two safety rules. I won't recommend to stay near him.
9. Yet another alternatively talented person. Note how he's holding an AKM.
10. Staged photo. An insurgent hiding with RPK-74, while other people calmly mind their own business near him on the road.
11. Yet another staged photo, and a brilliant idiot. He's holding MPADS (with broken handle btw) upside-down like an RPG, probably saw a really low flying aim))
12. Oh, great Shaitan-tube, punish those loathsome gaddafists!
13. An acrobatic action with machine gun, a-la air-defence. Clowns! Needless to say - staged photo.
14. Suprise! FN FAL, and a new one, where did he get it? I wasn't aware that Libya purchased NATO weapons as of recently. After all it was UNSC which raised an embargo due to US and UK requests that was cancelled only in 2004.
15. Yet another FN FAL!
16. FN FAL, again!
17. And again!
18. More NATO weapons - FN MAG. Again absolutely new item. Where did they get all these?
19. Military instructor of suspiciously not libyan apperance?
20. The guy is wearing NATO kevlar helmet and I can't recongise the pistol for sure. Probably of NATO origin as well.
21. Mercenary from 'friendly' Arab World (Qatar, Saudi)? See, he's pointing where those two should deploy 106mm ammo for NATO M40 recoilless rifle. The box is absolutely new, look at zinc hinges.
22. Duh, M40 recoiless rifle.
23. African mercenary?
24. A bunch of insurgents pretend they're fighting Gaddafi, note cameraman on the hill.
25. Firing SSMs god knows where. But who cares?
26. SSM was just fired.
27. Somebody has spread the rumour that loyalists forces are coming!
28. Panic!
29. Run, Forest, run!
30. Photosession is over. Immediate evacuation.
P.S.: The text is not mine. In all fairness, FN FALs are in service in Libya, the author was wrong. Other than that - nice photos.
