Libya’s GNA forces shoot down UAE-purchased Chinese drone near Misurata
The operation said on Saturday that the drone, provided by the UAE to Haftar’s forces, was trying to strike Misurata city before it had been shot down and destroyed in Abu Grein area near Misurata.
The UAE is a staunch backer of Haftar and his attacks on Tripoli as it has been a supporter for his Derna and Benghazi operations in the past five years.
Photos of the destroyed Wing Loong were published online by the Volcano of Rage (Burkan Al-Ghadab) Operation and showed the total destruction of the drone.
