SOUTH AFRICAN BORDER WAR

post_title	.	_year
26 Jun 1988 Techipa	Operation Displace becomes the last significant military engagement as FAPLA try to harass the SADF in Sector 10. A skirmish takes place at Techipa. The SADF withdrawal from Angola is orderly and relaxed. 61 Mechanized Battalion, reinforced with four ZT3 Ratel AFV’s, deploys in ambush position at Techipa (Operation Hilti/Excite). An artillery barrage is laid down at 20:00, destroying the Cuban artillery command post entirely. In a separate action east of Techipa, a platoon from Delta Company 32 Battalion, led by Lieutenant T.T. de Abreu, comes under heavy attack by a Cuban tank unit, engaging in a running fire fight over a 20-km distance, before breaking off the engagement under accurate and heavy artillery fire	38
