Judging by the pictures, it looks an aweful lot like a Flogger or a Fencer. My money is on a MiG-23B, maybe a MiG-23BN.

A perfect example of propaganda: the "rebels" (who by now are almost wholly puppeteered by outside powers)

SHOT DOWN THE PLANE!

In order to convince the useful idiots that we should shoot first and ask questions later.

You might want to learn about a situation before you critique it.

This is a Civil War.
The opposition wants Gaddafi to be imprisoned.
They want the United Nations or some Muslim power or a giant sky parent to punish Gaddafi.

That's the only reason they are still fighting.
A sense of principle for all the shit he put them thru.

I feel it'd benefit you to stop, think and empathize,

..before you go jerk off to your conspiracy fantasies

What a mess.

I don't know the letter, but it has been confirmed as a MiG-23.

This brings up an interesting point. Has the coalition said if they will shoot down rebel fighter jets violating the no-fly zone?

Of course I'm not suggesting that's what happened in this case. But just that there's no avoiding the issue, since it seems the rebels aren't keen on accepting the no-fly zone.

In related news, France has a proclamation: http://i.imgur.com/rV8z0.jpg

Took them long enough.

It has been reported by Al Jazeera that it was mistakenly shot down by rebel forces.

I would hate to be a bird in Libya, being high up and getting mistaken for a plane.
