| That MiG-23 was from the rebel forces and was erroneously shot down by rebel forces with a MANPAD. |

A 23mm or 14.5mm AA gun can do that too. Also it could be an engine flameout. There is no evidence from the video that clearly suggest it was a MANPADS
Here is the video. Mid March, few hours before the no-fly-zone enforcement, Benghazi front.

| I suspect it was AA as you don't see a missile trail... |
