Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has confirmed that British forces has launched a pre-emptive strikes on strategic targets in Libya.
The moves clearly come as no surprise as UN has backed military action when it declared a No-Fly Zone over Libya.
The strikes involved the use of
TOMAHAWK missiles launched from submarines operating in Medditerranean as well as
STORMSHADOW missiles launched from the air force's TORNADO jets based in Marham, Eastern England.

It was also reported that the French and US forces had also launched similar attacks.

If based on the Gulf War, these strikes should have targetted vital Command and Control Centres, air defence units and the surveillance radar sites.
Logically, the Libyan forces couldn't do anything should these strategic assets were destroyed.
One thing for sure, it is a good place to practice your Live Firing Exercise eh.
