prior to the first libyan civil war, during the 1980s, the no. 1025 squadron operated mig-25pds at the al jufra-hun airbase for defense of the north coast. tu-22, g.222, and an-26 were based at jufra, parked on open pavement, sand berm shielded pads, and in aircraft shelters. considering the positioning of many of the aircraft visible in the satellite imagery, and what is known of the maintenance record of the libyan air force, the operational inventory of combat aircraft based at jufra in 2011 can be assumed to be quite low. the g.222 is believed to have not flown for more than a decade.
