 Pakistan also provided training of new pro-LNA fighter pilots between 2015 and 2017.The military support of Egypt and the United Arab Emirates to Haftar's pro-LNA forces went even further than the supply of weapons and other military equipment, as both the Egyptian air force and the United Arab Emirates air force conducted multiple airstrikes on both pro-GNA forces and Islamist positions through eastern Libya between 2015 and 2017.During those airstrikes, according to Egyptian sources, Egyptian Air Force aircraft were often targeted by Islamists with Chinese-made FN-6 MANPADs, which were supplied to the Libyan Islamists by Qatar via Sudan.
