Featured Equipment & Specifications

We are working on extensive lists for the Angolan/Cuban//Swapo, mostly Soviet supplied equipment, as well as the SADF/Unita equipment used in the War in Angola and generally in the entire Bush War as it was known. This will include land forces and air forces of both sides. The seaborne forces may follow at a later stage, should there be sufficient interest.

I have had a number of requests for comprehensive lists and will periodically post just a list of equipment to this page. As we expand the details and technical specifications of each piece of equipment, they will be added to the outline above.

Any information and photos relating to equipment used will be most appreciated! Please feel free to email such items directly to me. Detailed equipment lists should eventually include:

  • Specifications, 
  • Short description and history,
  • A link to the relevant detailed history and specification on WikiPedia,
  • Photos,
  • Video footage,
  • Line diagrams, 
  • Specific forums in which to discuss the features and abilities, perfomance and history of each piece of equipment. 
  • Links to specific models and wargames-related information of the equipment in various scales.
  • 3D Images of the equipment from various angles.

Please keep in mind, that this is a Work in Progress and that we have a ton of information on equipment not yet listed already! So please do keep on revisiting this page, or feel free to enquire. We will do our utmost to find out.

RE: BMD-1 in angola by johansamin
Looks like our best chance to find out is from the Russians.... but they take a while to reply. I will let you know as soon as I hear from them. In the meantime....please continue posting what you find out. Regards Johan
RE: BMD-1 in angola by Mindawozas
I'm also searching. Just found in russian book about bmd's: a number of vehicles were reported seen in angola. Either angolans got them from USSR or cubans(cubans could send them to angola). i'm also checked arms transfer tables at: http://armstrade.sipri.org/armstrade/page/trade_register.php   bu...
RE: BMD-1 in angola by johansamin
hmmm.... interestingly, the Wikipedia seems to claim that it was used in the Angolan Civil War and that an unknown number of them were supplied to Angola... no numbers and no years either. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMD-1 ) They give a reference for it, but it leads to a dead link. "A Br...
RE: BMD-1 in angola by Mindawozas
The thing is that many russian sites states that BMD-1's were supplied to Angola. As of Iraq example, iraq got ~10 BMD-1's, so maybe Angola also got this number, but when? Off-topic questions(sorry mods): 1. Did angolans/cubans used their amphibiuos vehicle (BMP's, BRDM's, BTR's and PT-76) a...
RE: BMD-1 in angola by johansamin
I am not aware of any BMD-1s in Angola. I have posted these questions to the Russian Veterans of Angola for feedback - they should know! Does anyone have any info on this? I have specifications and even pictures of the BMD-1 available, but not as deployed in Angola (if they were!) I ca...
BMD-1 in angola by Mindawozas
Hello Russian sources states that small amount of BMD-1 vehicles was sent to Angola. Is there more info on this? Like what number delivered and year. Was it used in combat, photos?
MILANS USED BY SADF/UNITA? by Cassius
Here is a photo supplied by Angola Russian vets. They say it was captured.
RE: BERLIET TRAMAGAL by johansamin
Thanks, Cassius... any idea of the quantities used in Angola at all? As you say, probably left behind by the Portuguese, so there could have been quite a few!

RE: Migs and Suchoi's in Southern Africa by johansamin
I never knew about the Su-25, but it looks like theye were deployed too late to be used against the SADF in 1988, even IF they could find the pilots to fly them! Very interesting though, thanks Cassius! I wonder if the Cubans had some of them and if they would have wanted to use them to support the ...
