*Missing Missiles* MANPADS proliferation in North
Africa
The looting of Libya’s massive stocks of weapons and ammunition was one of
the most significant arms proliferation events of the 21st century.
Anti-government forces seized tens of thousands of small arms, light
weapons and other munitions, and thousands more were left unguarded in
abandoned storage facilities. These weapons have fuelled crime and conflict
in Libya and throughout North Africa.
Of particular concern to the international community were the government’s
large stockpiles of man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS). Many
analysts and officials feared that these weapons would be smuggled out of
Libya and used against military and civilian aircraft. The anticipated
increase in MANPADS attacks has not materialized, raising important
questions about the fate of Libya’s missing missiles and their impact on
aviation security.
A new Small Arms Survey Issue Brief—*Missing Missiles: The Proliferation of
Man-portable Air Defence Systems in North Africa*—seeks to answer these and
other questions about the MANPADS threat in this region.
The Issue brief analyses the models, provenance and condition of MANPADS in
North Africa. It provides an in-depth analysis of the proliferation of
MANPADS in North Africa since 2011 and examines the implications for
aviation security in North Africa. *Missing Missiles* concludes with
important observations on MANPADS trafficking and aviation security in the
region
Key findings include:
- Newly released data confirms that nearly all MANPADS documented in
Libya were first-generation Strela 2-pattern systems. The only other
MANPADS documented to date are four Pakistani Anza II missiles––without
launchers.
- The proliferation of missiles looted from Libyan government depots has
had little discernible effect on the illicit use of MANPADS in the region.
- Recent generation MANPADS in nearby conflict zones may soon pose a
more significant threat to aviation security in North Africa than Libya’s
ageing, first-generation missiles.
- The Islamic State’s access to MANPADS poses a potentially acute threat
to civilian aviation in North Africa and elsewhere.
