Reacting to Intel on Cuban troop movements in southern Angola in October 1988, the SADF’s Ombalantu military base near the SWA/Angolan border goes on high alert. Here four G5 155mm howitzer guns and a couple of Ratel Infantry Fighting Vehicles point their guns towards the Angolan border whilst lining up in the open field outside the base (the base was situated next to the town of Outapi in northern Namibia just to the south of the Angolan border).
