Libya has an air force and they are using it. There is also a weird CIA mercenary air force near Misrata manned by Ecuadoran mercenaries who go back to the DynCorp era. There is also a UAE IOMAX and Wing Loong setup run for Haftar by mercs #ThatDesk. libyanexpress.com/libyas-western…
Also some sexy Russian stuff on the ground in Libya. Su-22s and MiG-21 spotted at Tamanhant Air Base near Sabha in West Libya on March 2. Putin is mad at Haftar tho. Saudis and Emiratis went for the prize.
Main aircraft is MiG-23BN (they still use cluster bombs), but Haftar has Hind gunships and Egypt, UAE and the US has been known to sneak into Libya bomb targets. Follow these accounts for solid updates and background:

ISR tracking fans should add in @SebBenthem @GDarkconrad @ItaMilRadar @5472_nde Seems like Tajoura was the place to be for a number of platforms. Currently the launch spot for any Misrata opposition against Haftar cuz Tajoura is 9 miles east of the real airport of Mitiga.
Sorry should be "Hind" singular. They promote the hell out of it deptite the UAE violating arms embargoes...again. middleeasteye.net/news/uae-breac…
