At 10:05 a.m. on 8 August 1983, the aviation command post in Menongue asked for information about a helicopter that was shot and the pilot that was wounded during an reccemission. It was not actually a member of the crew, but Major Policarpo Sánchez Pileta (age 44) that had been wounded. As the two helicopters descended to attack UNITA troops, forty kilometers southwest of Tempué, UNITA troops fired on the helicopter and the officer was hit and mortally wounded. The two helicopters arrived at Menongue with the major who was seriously injured, but he died shortly after. |
