    This is a declassified aerial/satellite reconnaissance photograph of a military airfield, likely from the Cold War era or a regional conflict period. The image includes two annotated inset enlargements identifying specific military assets: a 'Spoon Rest Radar' system and a 'MiG-29' fighter aircraft in a revetment. The airfield features multiple runways, taxiways, and support structures consistent with a military air base.

    These Russian aircraft are being used to support private military companies (PMCs) sponsored by the Russian government. A MiG-29 was photographed operating in the vicinity of the city of Sirte, Libya. The Spoon Rest is a Russian-made, mobile early warning radar system, designed to provide tactical support to military activities. Russia uses this system when deployed to a nation in the conduct of tactical combat operations. (Date taken = date uploaded to DVIDS)
