Libya: Tracking NATO on the Libyan battlefield

The message may not be as elaborate in the second flyer but it is just as eloquent. The leaflet boasts a drone next to a view of a tank and issues a stark warning:

„Warning: You are neither a match nor an equivalent to the superior weapon systems and air force of NATO. Continuing to do what you are doing will result in your death.“ The flip side shows a blown-up tank up next to yet another promise of death.

Considering how many civilians have been killed by drones in Afghanistan and Pakistan, it may come as a paradox to many that NATO is using the symbol of this silent and windowless aircraft in a campaign meant to protect the civilian population.
