5 Jan 1980 Ongiva

A SWAPO base 13 km west of Ongiva was attacked from the air and on the ground. SAAF Puma helicopters flying in advance stopper groups withdraw from the area due to heavy anti-aircraft fire, while radio problems forced two gunships called in for support to turn back to Eenhana. Nevertheless, two platoons from 32Bn Bravo Company were successfully airlifted to the target area before an Impala air strike with 68-mm rockets silenced the 14,5-mm anti-aircraft guns. An hour later two more Bravo platoons were flown in, and they attacked the base while the gunships offered air support. Operation Zulu
