In war, you have lost a drone chopper, you have lost it; why deny it?
NATO said one of its unmanned drones disappeared over Libya on Tuesday, refuting reports that forces loyal to leader Muammar Qadhafi had shot down an alliance attack helicopter.
Libyan state television repeatedly broadcast images of what appeared to be aircraft wreckage, including shots of a red rotor and close—ups of markings in English.
It quoted an unnamed Libyan military official saying a NATO Apache attack helicopter crashed in Zlitan, about 85 miles (135 kilometers) east of the capital Tripoli. The report claimed it was the fifth Apache that had been downed, a charge NATO denied.
Wing Cmdr. Mike Bracken, an alliance spokesman, said NATO instead lost radar contact with an unmanned helicopter drone on Tuesday morning along the coast in central Libya, and is investigating the incident. He said the drone was performing an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission.
“This is the first piece of hardware that I am aware of that has been lost” since NATO’s air campaign began, Wing Cmdr. Bracken said. A U.S. F—15E jet crashed near the rebel stronghold of Benghazi in March before NATO assumed command of the international intervention in Libya.
