Libyan War Should be Easy

According to wikipedia the Libyans just don't have much modern hardware capable of seriously threatening a 4th-generation western combat aircraft. Their ground attack units use the Su-22/24, which is not a bad ground attack aircraft but was never designed to stop other planes. Their air-to-air units all use 70s era Migs like the Mig-23, and French Mirage F1s. Back in the day Mig-23s were complete turkeys against the Israelis.

The Mirage did much better, but the French themselves replaced it with the Rafale. With miodern avionics they could probably do fine, but I somehow doubt an Air Force that still uses the Mig-23 has a couple $billion to blow on avionics. The rest of their air force seems to be advanced jet trainers. Those are useful, and they wouldn't be very good for training if you couldn't slap a couple sidewinders on them, but against the French Armee del Air, RAF and USAF?

Gaddafi is so dead.
