Yellow on the fall of the Italian drone in Libya. In Tripolitania, where General Haftar and Prime Minister al Serraj are always facing each other, one of our Predators crashed. According to Libyan sources, The Libyan Address, the Libyan National Army flak, the forces headed by General Khalifa Haftar, shot it down in Tarhuna changing it to a Russian aircraft departed from the Misurata civil airport.
But the Italian Defense Staff has given a different version explaining that "the contact with a remote pilot aircraft of the Air Force, subsequently precipitated on the Libyan territory" has been lost. The aircraft, "which carried out a mission to support the Mare Sicuro operation, followed a flight plan previously communicated to the Libyan authorities", adds the Defense. Further investigations are underway to ascertain the causes.
The "safe sea" airborne device is located in the Central Mediterranean, with its center of gravity in the waters close to Libya, with the task of "ensuring the protection of national interests". for 2019 a maximum use of 754 soldiers, 6 ships and 5 aerial vehicles is foreseen. The tasks of the mission, as the Defense explains, consist in particular in the "protection of communication lines, guaranteeing a safe environment for commercial maritime traffic"; in the "protection of the Coast Guard vehicles operating in SAR activities from the possible actions of criminal organizations"; in carrying out «activities of deterrence and contrast of criminal organizations dedicated to illegal trafficking by sea». It is, it is emphasized, "a mission to protect a risk zone", which "does not provide for any naval blockade or other developments".
