GNA Mir F-1ED shot down 07-05-2019

Post by Starfighter_F-104G »

''Libya National Army (LNA) managed to shoot-down the last flying Mirage F.1ED of GNA Air Force capturing its mercenary pilot at Tripoli minutes ago

The Mirage F.1ED pilot is Portuguese and was probably ex-F-16AM pilot of Portugal Air Force.
He is not the first Portuguese mercenary of GNA Air Force. Jose Lopes was the first one who lost his life after his Mirage F.1ED crashed due to friendly fire in June 2016''

So this is the second F.1 shot down in the last 6 weeks or so?
How many more are still operational?
