RE: The piece of the cold war nobody told you about - Africa's forgotten war - the air battles .
@gavvet thanks for the story! I did service at the 250 Air Defence Artillery Group and served on the ZU 23 mm canons and Hilda missle system. Our targets included the Migs you referred to!
You could probably tell some stories then?
Many, really many will see how I can put them together and maybe do a post or two! I have some photos of or deployment in the then South West Africa!
let me know when they go up
Will do so!
Pakistan was the main battleground from the USA side, they used Pakistan and Afghanistan as proxies in the cold war, and we are paying the price still in Pakistan for those wrong doings of America @gavvet
ZU do you mean Soviet ZSU 23x4?
That is the one yes! It was a Russian canon that South Africa got hold of
