Get Some: Before And After Shots of Air Strikes On Libyan Targets -- Defense Tech

Check out this before and after image of what appears to be a Libyan weapons storage area that was hit pretty hard by allied airstrikes recently. It’s the after-effects of what might have been JDAMs nearly obliterating a bunch of Gadhafi’s weapons bunkers.

Thanks to USAFA tipster Patrick Casey who found the images on The Boresight blog.

Here’s another shot of some burning G-2 Galeb’s on the ramp at Misurata air base, you know, the same type of jet, likely flying out of this base, that was destroyed by French fighters last week.
