0.55s : Mirage F1? It does look like it, a lot.

Could be either an F1 or a Mig23 to me... I will look for more pics because I think there were several vantage points. It does look like it was hit by Air to Air or perhaps a Sam but I didn't see any missile smoke.

thats definitely a Mig23...

IF you have Sky Sat, go to the news channels and watch the footage on the 'PressTV' channel. It's been showing the downed fighter footage in slow motion from strike to impact.

I'm not sure any more, the 23 also looks a lot like it.

EDIT: After seeing more pictures I have to agree with Bigs, definitely a MiG-23, now the question: is it definitely from Libya, if so was it from Gaddafi or from the Rebels?

my money's on it being from Gaddafi's airforce.

what was it shot down by tho... the vid was zoomed out, all u really see is a little orange flash and then the plane begins to dive and burn...

AAA hit? Missile hit?

The Mig-23 that was shot down today supposedly belonged to the rebels. The pilot ejected too late and died.
