SAAF Missions

[jaeger_101]

In memory of the SWA Angola borderwar, where SAAF and Cuban pilots met in an hostile environment.

 

During the early days of the war, the SAAF had technological superiority with the Mirage F1 AZ/CZ over the Angolan MIG 21. Due too continious weapons supply for the Angolans and at the later stage when the Cuban MIG 23 at the battlefield arrived, only the skill of the SAAF pilots kept the losses at a minimum.

 

Low level flying at 10 to 20m with 600 knots was the way too survive for the SAAF pilots.

 

The Mirage did carry the Matra 550 and V2 rear aspect IR missiles.A HMS very similar to the russian system was also deployed. As the Southafrican all aspect missile was delayed, 50 piece "Sniper" all aspect missiles were bought. Any attempt to make the R550 combat ready failed.

 

The cubans most likely deployed the R3S/R60 and R 23/24 missile combo, though not much is known about it.
