BBC:

Several large explosions have rocked Libya's capital, Tripoli, early on Saturday, reports say.

A resident told AFP news agency the explosions were in the eastern suburb of Tajoura, which has previously been hit by coalition forces.

The US, UK and France are taking the lead in enforcing a UN-mandated no-fly zone as Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi fights an uprising against his rule.

He is said to be arming volunteers to join his forces.

A resident of Tripoli told AFP that a military radar site in Tajoura was on fire. The district is known to house several military bases.

"The district was shaken by three explosions in succession," the resident was quoted as saying.

...
There must be disturbing the rest of Qaddafi and his family. He is slowly losing most of the military assets he acquired since he came to power. He is also losing other tangible assets as governments around the world seize them.

In the coming days we will see how important these assets are to his survival.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
