| 2011-06-04 |
| British Apache attack helicopters have been used over Libya for the first time, Nato has confirmed. They attacked and destroyed two military installations, a radar site and an armed checkpoint near Brega, the Captain of HMS Ocean told the BBC. French Gazelle helicopters also took part in simultaneous attacks on different targets in Libya for the first time. On Wednesday, Nato extended its mission in Libya by 90 days. The BBC's defence correspondent Jonathan Beale said: "The Captain of the HMS Ocean reported that those targets had been successfully destroyed and both Apaches returned to their base on HMS Ocean." |
