Babak Taghvaee - The Crisis Watch on Twitter: "This video shows final moment of the MQ-9 Reaper drone in question before crashing to the ground near #Benina Air Base at #Benghazi. It is said that the #Libyan National Army has used a medium-range air defense system to shoot it down. The system in question is possibly Buk M2E! https://t.co/AUDCV9OWx9" / Twitter
