      LOL, I ain’t soliciting for a job.
      
      BTW, I notice that internet traffic that goes through dark Africa hasn’t sped up one single bit in the last 10 years. So slow…

SOUTH AFRICAN BORDER WAR

post_title	.	_year
27 Jun 1988 Calueque	61 Mechanized Battalion again lay down an ambush and engage a strong Cuban force, led by tanks. A fierce fire fight ensues, and as 32 Battalion is given protection by SADF artillery, MIG 23’s enter the fray, forcing the artillery to disengage and go to ground. All SADF forces cross the Cunene River by 12:55 and for some unexplained reason the Cubans disengage and withdraw back to Techipa, losing their brief tactical advantage. At 13:55 four MIG 23’s bomb Calueque Dam, followed at 14:05 by another three aircraft, damaging hydraulic works including a pipeline, killing 11 soldiers from 8 SAI. Two MIG 23’s are damaged in the engagement by ground fire and a third crashes on landing. This is the last military engagement of the South African – Angolan War in which loss of life occurs, at least involving the SADF	38
