Gaddafi has a lot of money, and his army always came first. The equipment of his elite troops is the best money can buy.

#23I was puzzled that the UB-32 rocket launchers have English instructions printed on them instead of Arabic. The CIA World Factbook does say that Arabic, Italian, and English are all understood in the major cities. Still surprising.
I was surprised by that too. I would have excepted Russian instructions instead of Arabic though. Maybe all (official) Russian exports have English text?

#24That aircraft missile launcher mounted on that truck bed has to be terribly dangerous, either the back blast or recoil could easily roll that truck.

If they don't put a blast panel on the cab they could fry the occupants, it has happened before.

There is no recoil.

At least in all of the pictures, there are no occupants in the cab.

#28nice free intel work done for the Libyan government this very detailed gallery of the Rebel's arsenal.
I'm sure this is information they already had. If anything, it makes them look more organized.

When the person in picture #3 makes that sign, it is described as the "victory sign." I imagine that's what the guy holding the rockets meant, too.
