I can see this situation escalating pretty quickly and the UN/EU getting sucked in to a possible war.

Anyone know exactly what kind of forces Gaddafi has?

How many planes, tanks etc?

Just send in that Vulcan to scare the sh!t out of Gaddafi  :fighting:

I'm not sure how much of a long term war it'll be, Hurdy - Most of the Arab states are on the UN 'side' in this I think.

They have all of our old ones ! Thats why Prince Andrew was best friends with them because they paid so much money into our defence companies.

QuinteQ who are a huge defence provider once told me Libya was their 4th biggest customer ! 


They have some good kit but wether they know what to with it as well as we do is a different matter !

On the basis of us being involved we are due to launch from Cyprus ! with the American 4th Flotilla operating from the Med !

Ring any bells, us and America with the littler countries from the UN ! and Russia, China etc not willing to be involved !

She is fully serviced and ready to go. Has to leave Lyneham before the end of the month and find her new home so she could do Tripoli on the way.  :laugh:

they have an air force and air defence systems, but they'll be rendered useless by cruise missles way before the jets turn up for bombing runs.

The yanks have a their carrier fleet parked up there anyway, god knows how many subs are lurking there at this moment.

iirc they have now converted all out typhoons from air-air, to air-ground role now.  So with that and the tornado, we have no air to air fighter capability.  Good job we have the ARB league onside really otherwise we'd get our a$$ kicked
