I got the feed, this is quite a sight.

Hamerhead was on station only as a big warning to Gadaffi's men. Case they got a stupid idea to shoot at the drone.
keep us updated

I spy some tanks near the University, Looks like loyalists but can't tell from the current altitude.
they've advanced then. i'm curious to see if they follow what i assume to be the path they will take

Hammerhead's requesting engage orders.
this intrigues me. looking at the map, if the Rebels take the university/industrial complex i talked about, and DID get fire support, i could see them moving up to the Sirte Clinic Hospital to the west and north to the centre highway, from there there seems to be very little that fire support could actually do short of clearing the park to the west of the Sirte Clinic or just north of the centre highway.

With support i wouldn't be surprised if the rebels could take the southeast quadrant pretty easily without the assault from the east. It would mean that the rebels would have 2 hospitals and the port (5 KM east of Sirte), short of the city centre they would effectively hold the resources of the city.

really need to know what exactly the rebels have to actually assess this.

Can you get a map with the current positions of rebels linked up for me?
right now we aren't even sure, there's some extrapolating going on and Dragon's got a predetor feed, but the Rebels and Gaddafi forces are rather difficult to differentiate. If you pull up Google maps and look up the city of Sirte the Rebels were 50 Km away from there earlier today

Hammerhead's requesting engage orders.

Where do you get this info from? Do you do this for a living?

I just briefly looked at a map of libya and i noticed something. The rebels seem to be taking coastline cities. So, if NATO decided to put troops on the ground, it would make their job much easier if the rebels have already secured the coast.
It's Lybia. All the cities are on the coast. The interior is what's known as the Sahara desert. So, no, NATO will not need to put troops on the ground even if for some wild reason they wanted to.

Yes, I do. I'm a tactical analyst so any sort of military operation is viewed by me and 9 other guys. We try to find the best and cleanest way for our troops to operate in combat zones.


Wouldn't this be, like, classified.
not really

depends on the OP. if the OP is classified then yes, but as this isn't a classified OP then no

Predator is RTB along with Hammerhead.

Lets hope it blows up something the Rebels don't like.
