Turkish Probe Finds Libyan Military Jet Broke Up on High‑Speed Impact; Engines Were Running
A Turkish preliminary investigation into a December 23, 2025 crash of a Libyan Falcon 50 near Ankara found no mid‑air explosion and that the engines were running at impact; the aircraft disintegrated on high‑speed collision with a 1,252m mountain.
