| Video: The Untold Story of South Africa's border war |
| 2025-11-04 |
| [MSN] In 1979 South Africa was a prosperous but troubled nation. Social tensions were high, the country was under international trade embargoes, and most pressingly, they were engaged in a high-stakes insurgency conflict, which touched all aspects of life in the region. Whether it be aiding neighbouring Rhodesia in its own insurgency war, fighting rebels on the border, or repelling Angolan MiGs - the South Africans, with their small, lightly equipped, but deadly fighting force, become a fearsome military in the region. Their level of efficiency is demonstrated to be not unlike the Australian Defence Force. Today we look at the intense air wars South Africa fought from 1966 onward, in a series of increasingly intense border conflicts with insurgents from Namibia, Angola, Zambia, and within South Africa itself!
