RE: Political and military decisions around 11 Nove by host
On 13 Nov 1975 Cuban reinforcements arrived in Porto Amboim, halted the SA advance along the coast.
From Nelson da Costa:
Esse avanço Tinha o objectivo de atingir luanda? (English: Was this advance intended to reach luanda?)
My Reply:
After the defeat at Quifangondo on 10 Nov, the FNLA was falling apart and the entire offensive from the north collapsed. The South African guns would be trapped north of Luanda. In the meantime, the South African Task Force Zulu and Battle Group Foxbat were pushing hard from the south, also undoubtedly with the intention to help UNITA capture all the key terrain and positions south of Luanda, in order to finally install UNITA as the official government of Angola. With the Cubans landing at Porto Amboim, and having blown most of the bridges that give access to the north, things have now changed and it was decided that the South African forces should start to withdraw. It was never the intention of the SA forces to capture Luanda for themselves, but merely to put UNITA in a stronger position to do so!

Após a derrota em Quifangondo, em 10 de novembro, a FNLA estava desmoronando e toda a ofensiva do norte entrou em colapso. As armas sul-africanas ficariam presas ao norte de Luanda. Enquanto isso, a Força-Tarefa Sul-Africana Zulu e o Grupo de Batalha Foxbat estavam se esforçando do sul, também sem dúvida com a intenção de ajudar a UNITA a capturar todos os terrenos e posições importantes ao sul de Luanda, a fim de finalmente instalar a UNITA como o governo oficial de Angola. Com os cubanos desembarcando em Porto Amboim, e tendo explodido a maioria das pontes que dão acesso ao norte, as coisas mudaram e foi decidido que as forças sul-africanas deveriam começar a se retirar. Nunca foi intenção das forças da SA capturar Luanda por si mesmas, mas apenas colocar a UNITA em uma posição mais forte para fazê-lo!... |
RE: P-15 Flat Face Acquisition Radar by GrahamDT
The Soviet P-15 Flat Face B-1S was a Long Range Surveillance and Missile Acquisition Radar designed to detect aircraft flying at low altitude making use of the C-Band (UHF) and was associated with the SA-3 GOA Surface-to-Air Missile Systems.
The P-15 is a high mobility radar and with the antenna mounted directly onto a single Zil-157 truck or alternatively a trailer whereby the system could be deployed and taken down in under 10 minutes. The P-15 used two open frame elliptical parabolic antenna measuring 11m x 5,5m thereby accomplishing both transmission and reception with each antenna being fed by a single antenna feed.
The P-15 Radar could rapidly shift frequency to any one of four pre-set frequencies to avoid active interference with passive interference being removed by a coherent Doppler filter. Azimuth was determined by mechanical scanning with an associated accompanying PRV-11 Side Net Radar used to determine elevation. A secondary radar for IFF (Identification of Friend or Foe), normally the 1L22 “Parol” was generally used in conjunction with the P-15.
The P-15 Radar System has an operating range from 200 to 250km and is capable of simultaneously guiding three SAM-3 GOA Surface-to-Air Missiles. The P-15 was operated by the Soviet Union from 1955 and many of these systems were deployed into the Sub-Saharan Africa Region, particularly Angola. One of the Soviet P-15 Flat Face Radar Systems that were captured by South African Forces in Angola during the 1980’s, is currently on display at the Air Force Museum at Swartkop.... |
RE: SA-6 Gainful Mobile tracked by GrahamDT
With the Acquisition Radar set up, reaction time from a dormant condition through the target acquisition phase, IFF interrogation and lock-on phases up to missile launch was about three minutes. If the Acquisition Radar was already active, this whole process was completed within 15 to 30 seconds. The SA-6 was a highly mobile system and a complete Missile Battery, including Acquisition Radar, was able to relocate to an alternate firing position in 15 minutes from the time of total system shut down.
During the Bush War, a Central Intelligence Agency report stated that the People's Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) had procured sixteen complete Batteries of SA-6 GAINFUL Surface-to-Air Missile Systems from the Soviet Union in 1981 and deployed them in the Moçâmedes District in Southern Angola.
The SADF noted that the deployment of these SAM Systems would make it difficult for the SAAF to provide air cover during cross-border operations against SWAPO/PLAN insurgents that were operating from Angolan sanctuaries. A South African pre-emptive strike that formed part of Operation Protea in 1981 was launched and successfully destroyed all of these SA-6 Systems.
During 1988 however, Soviet SA-6 GAINFUL SAM Missile Systems operated by members of the Cuban Expeditionary Force were once again established in Southern Angola and during Operation Excite/Hilti on 26 June 1988, six SA-6 missiles were launched from a Cuban operated SAM Battery against a South African weather balloon that was being used as a radar decoy over Techipa. South African 32 Battalion Reconnaissance Teams in the area used this firing data to plot the exact positions of each SA-6 launcher which were then all systematically destroyed in a concentrated artillery bombardment from 155mm G5 howitzers.

RE: SA-6 Gainful Mobile tracked by GrahamDT
The Soviet SA-6 GAINFUL was a low altitude Surface to Air Missile System that made use of the 1S91 “Straight Flush” Acquisition and Guidance Radar as the system was dependent on radio command guidance immediately after launch before switching to semi-active radar homing in the terminal phase. In the event of jamming or radar shut down, the SA-6 could be guided optically to acquire its target after launch. The SA-6 was a two-stage missile armed with a 56kg fragmentation warhead, with contact and proximity detonation capability. The maximum range of the SA-6 Missile was between 60-90km and the missile could reach altitudes of up to 10km (32 800 ft).
The first stage of the missile was a solid rocket motor located inside the main body, near the tail fins. When this motor expended its fuel, it was ejected out of the tail and the cavity created by its absence became the combustion chamber for a ramjet sustainer. Ramjets are technically simple and relatively fuel efficient, allowing good performance and range. The rocket booster was needed to get the missile up to a speed that allowed sufficient airflow to sustain combustion in the ramjet. A single self-propelled 1S91 “Straight Flush” acquisition radar could acquire targets at a range of 75km and could begin tracking with target illumination from 28km. The radar could only track a single target at a time but could however guide three missiles simultaneously. Normal practice was to fire a volley of a number of missiles from one or more launchers at each target to ensure better target destruction.
The Straight Flush Radar Acquisition System used two stacked turrets. The lower turret carried the Acquisition Radar while the upper turret carried the fine tracking and CW (Continuous Wave) illuminator radar in addition to the optical sight. This allowed the system to acquire targets and perform coarse tracking with the Acquisition Radar, and then perform fine tracking and illumination with the second radar. The Radar System controlled a group of four 2P25 series Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) vehicles that each carried three 3M9 series missiles. Each TEL vehicle was supported by four ZiL-157 or four URAL 6 x 6 trucks that carried three spare missiles and was equipped with a crane.
The TEL launchers were mounted on a GM-578chassis while the 1S91 Straight Flush Engagement Radar was mounted on a GM-568 chassis, all developed and produced by the Soviet Manufacturer MMZ (Мытищинский Mашиностроительный завод) (Mytishchi Machine-Building Plant) and could be moved to a new location within 15 minutes after complete system shut down. ... |
RE: Operation Protea by host
There had been a couple of inquiries about the fate of a FAPLA Captain that had been captured at Xangongo during the attack on Xangongo on 24 August 1981.
I have more recently discovered the names of two FAPLA captains, one a Political Commissar, that have disappeared from the area of Peu-Peu / Xangongo during this time (Thanks to General Furtado, who is a former "chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas Angolanas - FAA", that is, the Chief-of Staff and Major-General of the Angolan Armed Forces, who had become been the commander of the FAPLA brigade involved (FAPLA 19 Infantry Brigade), after the captain,s disappearance. The still Missing-in-Action captains are:
- Neto "Kibeto", Mateus Filipe Pedro, Captain: Commander of FAPLA's 19th Infantry Brigade at Peu-Peu Xangongo during the attacks of Operation Protea; he disappeared without a trace on 24 August 1981 and was never heard from again; his remains have never been found.
- Geronimo "Massimbi", Sebastiao de Carvalho, Captain: Political Commissioner of the 5th Military Region and at Peu-Peu Xangongo during the attacks of Operation Protea; he disappeared without a trace on 24 August 1981 and was never heard from again; his remains have never been found.
If anyone has any further information about their fate please let me know by sending me email to johan@Warinangola.com. You may remain anonymous if you so wish, but this is not a witch hunt - we merely intend to find out about the thousands of soldiers still Missing in Action on all sides of the conflict.

RE: Operation Slyk by host
Final Feedback I have just received from General Furtado regarding this matter:
"From consultations with former members of the 19 FAPLA Infantry Brigade in Mulondo at the evening of 20/21 October 1983 with a reconnaissance group about 5 kilometers south of the defense position of Brigade, are unanimous in stating that there was no capture or summary execution on the ground of any military of that group. Yes, they confirm that when the presence of the reconnaissance group was discovered on the ground, the 19 Brigade artillery fired in the same area, followed by the advance of 3 T-55 tanks that probably caused the death or dispersal of the SAF military and the abandonment of their bodies on the ground. It is noteworthy that Mulondo is located in the Bicuar reserve with ferocious animals among lions, leopards, hyenas and other felines."
From this it appears that the four soldiers may each have at least died an honorable soldier's death in facing a superior force of the enemy, which included artillery and tanks. All four seems to have been Killed in Action, and then left where they had fallen for the wild animals to devour and disperse their bones (like so many thousands of other fallen in Angola). They have no grave and their remains have not been located and cannot be returned. They will forever remain where they have fallen...
"...Taken by the Valkyrie who had come to collect the fallen on the battlefield and have taken them to Valhalla, without leaving a trace..."
May they Rest in Peace!... |
RE: Operation Slyk by host
From War in Angola: Some additional feedback from General Furtado:
"According to details provided by my colleague General Jonatan, who replaced the English captain in charge of the 19th Infantry Brigade at Mulondo in February 1985 at the time of the captain's post, reports that some officers he encountered at the Brigade told him In the evening of 20/21 October 1983 the forces of the Tactical Group that ambushed the SADF reconnaissance group on the Mulondo-Quiteve Road approximately 10 kilometers south of Mulondo did not capture or execute any SADF military personnel. According to the General, the Brigade had express orders from the 5th Military Region commander not to execute any POWs and any SADF military personnel who died in combat in the Brigade's defense area his body was prepared and sent to the Military Region command. in Lubango to be retained for surrender to the South African authorities shortly after the end of the war as part of a possible prisoner exchange process for FAPLA, Cubans and SADF. I will continue to contact other officers who were at the 19th Infantry Brigade at Mulondo from 1983 to 1987 for further details on that episode."... |

War In Angola: I have only just received the following feedback from General Furtado:
First Lieutenant Francisco Furtado was commander of the 19th Infantry Brigade from October 1981 to January 1983 and was replaced by the English captain who had just returned from the Soviet Union in the same month. First Lieutenant Francisco Furtado returned 6 months after completing the Brigade Tactical Command Course and was appointed Chief Operating Officer of the 9th Military Region in the province of Malange northeast of Angola."
"The English Mangurra captain who replaced me and commanded the 19th Infantry Brigade from January 1983 to 1984 died of illness in the mid-1990s due to illness but I will try to contact some officers who were at the Brigade in Mulondo in October 1983 to For more details on this episode, which took place on the night of October 20-21, 1983, to help clarify where the 5 members of the reconnaissance group may be buried."

Henry William Short: Andrei Polikanov is this the guy with the cowboy hat?
Andrei Polikanov: this is the story I told you, Henry. our 19th Brigade Reconnaissance Group which ambushed white soldiers (don't remember the exact number) who had crossed the Cunene river in 1983. but it wasn't in October, this is for sure.
Anton Muller: Andrei was it near Mulondo, earlier in 83?
Andrei Polikanov: correct
War In Angola: In 1983, Brigada de Infantaria Motorizada 19 (19 Brigade) of the Exército Popular de Angola (EPA (People's Army of Angola) was at Mulondo, and under the command of Premiero Teniente (1st Lt) Francisco Pereira Furtado, more recently the chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas Angolanas (FAA) (that is, the Chief-of Staff and Major-General of the Angolan Armed Forces).

RE: Task Force Zulu in Southern Angola by host
Just for interest sake... From the actual article on War In Angola (It may only be accessible to PREMIUM Members), I see I have the following paragraph, which may help explain things. The people that had made the broadcast were "ELP allies" (probably living in the town) and NOT the 67 men that had arrived with the South Africans. I think it is just not very clear from the wording of the article, which makes the reader assume they were the same group:
"The announcement made by the excited and irresponsible ELP allies over Radio Sá de Bandeira came as a blow to secrecy. After they had cleared the city, they made the following broadcast on 24 October: “We have been liberated by the South Africans”. (SADF Archives) In an effort to undo the impact of this announcement, Colonel van Heerden ordered that a radio broadcast be made announcing that the ELP had taken over Sá de Bandeira. This was also a mistake. Because the aggressive ELP was equally unpopular with both the white and black population of Angola, it caused confusion among UNITA and FNLA supporters."
Well, I think it caused confusion among everyone else, too! ;-)

My feedback to Carlos Ferreira was:
Thank you Carlos.... I used and translated the piece directly from "F. J. Du T. Spies, Prof. (co-writer Cmdt. S. J. du Preez), Operasie Savannah, Angola, 1975-1976". I understand that some of it may not be 100% accurate but the only way to rectify the situation is to actually publish it as it stands with the hope that someone that was actually there (like you, in this case), would correct the facts. It is truly much appreciated and I will definitely add your feedback as a note to the article on the War in Angola website. That is EXACTLY why I am doing this! ;-)

RE: Task Force Zulu in Southern Angola by host
As to the Enemy deployment and events around Sá de Bandeira on 24 Oct 1875, I had the following feedback from Carlos Ferreira:
"I dont know who wrote this post but it is not correct... The Portuguese forces that occupied Sá da Bandeira were under my command and I can assure the readers of two things... first nobody under my command did any radio broadcast... second we never been allied to ELP nor part of it... but it is true that some of our Toyotas had a the word ELP painted on them just to confuse the enemy and give the impression that we were part of a much bigger force... because all together we were only 67 freedom fighters."... |

Pictured above are Aaron Shlhepo, SW8PO'S Deputy Secretary for Foreign Relations and Hldlpo Hamutenya, Secretary for Publicity and Information. In the background is a captured Wolf combat vehicle. Both are referred to In the PLAN war communique and were captured on October 31 this year.
PLAN ON CAPTURE OF BUFFEL AND CASSPIR
A SWAPO war communique issued in Luanda last week contains detailed descriptions of the battles fought between guerrillas of the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) and troops of the South African Defence Force (SADF) during October.
The list of incidents reads as follows:
October 3, 1987: "A PLAN squad attacked and destroyed a temporary camp of a Koevoet reconnaisance unit at Omafo, 57km north·west of Ondangwa, eliminating one enemy conscript by the name of Peter Weyulu".
October 4: "PLAN combatants overran an enemy military post at Oneya, 50km north-west of Oshakati, killing three enemy soldiers".
October 5: "PLAN fighters sabotaged a water reservoir which supplies an enemy military camp at Ouhongo, 55km north-west of Ondangwa".
October 10: "A unit of PLAN, equipped with mortars and grenade rifles, carried out a successful fire-raid on the enemy base at Onavivi, 100km northwest of Oshakati. Seven enemy soldiers were killed. Several others were wounded and ... war materials were destroyed".
October 13: "A double landmine blew up an enemy armoured personnel carrier at Ongha, 45km north of Ondangwa. Three enemy soldiers perished on the spot and-some others were injured".
October 14: "A PLAN sabotage squad blew up ten telephone poles at Omahenge, 104km west of Oshakati".
October 19: "An enemy soldier by the name of Johannes Amakali Kandingosho died in a clash between PLAN liberation fighters and South African soldiers at Ohalushu, 35km north of Ondangwa".
October 31: "A fierce battle took place at Okanghudi, 57km north-east of Ondangwa, between PLAN forces and occupation troops. The enemy was moving northward towards the Angolan frontier in a convoy of between 65 and 70 combat vehicles. Having detected enemy movement in advance, PLAN combatants laid a well coordinated and heavily-armed ambush against the advancing convoy. A fierce battle ensued, accompanied by skirmishes between the opposing forces. The battle raged on for several hourS. Over 100 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded. Fourteen enemy military vehicles were completely destroyed and two others captured in· tact. One of them is a Buffel combat vehicle, registration number R29177, operational call number S31 and manufacturing number TFM 930. The other is a Wolf combat vehicle, registration number 3329177, operational call number 33B and manufacturing number TFM 662".
Then follows a list of equipment claimed to be captured by PLAN guerrillas during the same battle.
This includes five R-4 rifles (with serial numbers); eight 12.5mm mounted machine-guns; four offensive handgrenades; one RPG-7 grenade launcher; 37 M-79 shells; three loaded machine-gun belts; seven 60mm mortar shells; 7 R-4 magazines and 531 rounds of FN cartridges.
