    A military jet fighter aircraft is captured in flight against a clear blue sky. The image is blurry and appears to have been taken from a distance, possibly from another aircraft or ground-based telephoto lens. A targeting or focus crosshair reticle is visible overlaid on the fuselage of the aircraft.

    Russian fighter jets were recently deployed to Libya in order to support Russian state-sponsored private military contractors (PMCs) operating on the ground there. The Russian fighter aircraft arrived in Libya, from an airbase in Russia, after transiting Syria where it is assessed they were repainted to camouflage their Russian origin. “The world heard Mr. Haftar declare he was about to unleash a new air campaign. That will be Russian mercenary pilots flying Russian-supplied aircraft to bomb Libyans,” said U.S. Army Gen. Stephen Townsend, commander, U.S. Africa Command. (Date taken = date uploaded to DVIDS)

    A black-and-white archival photograph showing a military jet aircraft in profile view, likely captured from reconnaissance or targeting imagery. A white rectangular targeting reticle with crosshairs is overlaid on the fuselage of the aircraft. The image appears to be from Cold War-era military documentation based on the aircraft design and photographic quality.
    A grayscale infrared or electro-optical targeting/tracking camera image showing two aircraft in flight. A targeting reticle with a central lock box is overlaid on the image, with one aircraft centered in the tracking box. The image appears to be from a military airborne sensor or heads-up display system.
    This appears to be a thermal or infrared aerial surveillance image showing what looks like an aircraft on or near a runway or taxiway. The image contains targeting or tracking reticles typical of military or law enforcement aerial observation systems. The scene is captured in grayscale with high-contrast thermal signatures.
    This appears to be a grayscale thermal or night-vision aerial surveillance image showing what appear to be two watercraft or low-flying objects over a body of water or flat terrain. A targeting reticle with crosshairs and tracking boxes is overlaid on the image, consistent with military or law enforcement surveillance optics. The image quality is degraded with horizontal scan lines, typical of infrared or electro-optical sensor footage.
    A grainy black-and-white aerial or targeting camera image showing the tail section of a military aircraft. The image appears to be captured from another aircraft's targeting or tracking system, as indicated by the crosshair/reticle overlay visible in the frame. Cyrillic text and a star insignia are visible on the aircraft's tail fin, indicating Russian military affiliation.
    A black-and-white aerial or sensor-camera image showing a military jet aircraft centered in a targeting or tracking reticle overlay. The aircraft appears to be a variable-sweep wing design consistent with Soviet/Russian-era strike aircraft. White rectangular boxes and crosshair lines are superimposed on the image, suggesting this is footage from a targeting or identification system.
    A grayscale photograph depicting a military jet fighter aircraft in flight, captured from a lateral perspective. The aircraft displays twin vertical tail fins and appears to be a Soviet/Russian-designed fighter, consistent with a MiG-29 or similar twin-tail design. The image appears to be a surveillance or archival photograph with moderate grain.
    This is a black-and-white aerial reconnaissance photograph of a military airfield showing annotated aircraft positions. Intelligence labels identify multiple Russian military aircraft including SU-35 Flankers and MiG-29 Fulcrums positioned on taxiways and aprons. The image contains overlay text annotations with bracketed confidence indicators [HC] (High Confidence).
    This is a black-and-white aerial reconnaissance photograph of a military airfield. Annotated labels identify departed aircraft including 4x MiG-29 Fulcrum and 2x SU-35 Flanker, with white arrow markers indicating their positions or departure paths on the taxiways and runway. Ground support equipment, vehicles, and structures are visible around the airfield perimeter.
    The image shows a military jet aircraft in flight against a clear blue sky. The aircraft displays a blue-green camouflage pattern consistent with Russian/Soviet-era fighter designs. A targeting reticle or crosshair overlay is visible on the image, suggesting this may be surveillance or targeting camera footage.
    The image appears to be a still frame from an aerial surveillance or cockpit camera showing a close-up view of a military fighter jet in flight. The aircraft displays twin vertical stabilizers and appears to be photographed from another aircraft at very close range. The image has visible black redaction blocks obscuring portions of the frame, suggesting this may be from an official military or government release.

    The image shows a military fighter jet photographed in flight against a clear blue sky. The aircraft appears to be a twin-engine, twin-tail jet consistent with a MiG-29 or similar Soviet/Russian-designed fighter. A green targeting or tracking crosshair overlay is visible in the lower-left corner, suggesting this was captured by a tracking or surveillance system.
    This appears to be a grayscale aerial or overhead surveillance/reconnaissance image, likely captured by an infrared or night-vision sensor. The image shows a terrain with linear features resembling roads or paths, along with several bright reflective objects that may be vehicles. A targeting crosshair reticle is visible near the center of the frame, along with overlay indicators 'L' and 'N' in the lower portion.
    Unclassified satellite imagery dated 19 May 2020 at 0958Z showing Al Jufra Airfield (AFLD) in Libya. The image identifies at least one MiG-29 FULCRUM aircraft (labeled Point A) on or near the taxiway/apron area. An inset zoom panel highlights the specific aircraft with a label confirming 'MiG-29 FULCRUM (001)'.
