I wrote about wine in Angola. History and ethnology. Facts. Podії. Vigadok. The fate of the ussr in the fight

It’s practically not known about the huge war in Angola in our country, but it’s not fair. It is unfair for the address to the Radianski instructors and allies, the international warriors from Kubi. Don't make a mistake, mabut, so that vіynu Radiansky Union and the allies definitely lost.

It is also a long time ago that the feats of the Radianskiye Vіyskovy Radniks for the hour of the day were not seen in the Radiansk Union. Mabut the woeful "publicity" was widened only on suede dissidents, but not on heroes-internationals, professionally and honestly vykonalovyh of their requirements.

We have a full statistic about the most intense and large-scale battle of this war - the battle for the place of Kuito Kuanavale.

In the 80s of the 20th century, Angola became the object of a long-standing prototype. on to the national vіyna was conducted between yakі came to the possession of the nationally-vis-à-vis the MPLA and the abortive dispatchers from UNITA and FNLA. On the regional level, there are two superpowers - the USSR and the United States - in the regime of apartheid PAR, and on the global plan.

Todi, in the era of "cold vіyny", the food was put as follows: hto from them you can pour a sutta into Angola, that will take the "key" to all the Pivdenniy Afritsi. Todi ekonomichna additional aid to the Radiansky Union allowed independent Angola to get back on its feet. And they were installed by a thousand of Radianskiye Radniks, who came to the country, helped to bring about a new aggression and to establish national security forces.

Only during the period of the official military service of the USSR in Angola from 1975 to 1991 in the whole African country with the purpose of providing additional assistance in the future of the national army. Among them there are 107 generals and admirals, 7,211 officers, over 3.5 thousand ensigns, military officers, privates, and also robots and services of the SA and the Navy, who are not members of the family of radio servicemen.

In addition, during the whole period of the coast of Angola, they served in combat service of thousands of Russian sailors, including naval sailors, who were on board and entered the ports of Angola by combat ships. And bully shche lotchiki, lykari, ribalki, fakhivtsi z Silskoy domination... In total, at least 50 yews have passed through the whole land following the pidrahunks of the Spilki of Angolan Veterans. Radianskih hulks.

Vahomiy additions to the future of Angolan forces were made by the allies of the SRCP itself - the Cubans. A contingent of the bloody forces of the Republic of Cuba arrived in Angola in 1975. Until the end of 1975, Cuba sent 25,000 soldiers to Angola. Internationals were drilled there right before signing "New York City"- vivedennya Cuban military and occupational forces of the PAR. In total, 300 thousand Cuban vicinities, not civilians, passed through the war in Angola.

I can help them with technology, ammunition, ammunition and civilian radomes, so they poured into the countries-participants of the Warsaw Treaty Organization. So only the NDR supplied 1.5 million cartridges for the army and 2000 MPLA ( to the bloody forces Angola). The Romanian assistants, instructors and auxiliary personnel in the course of the mission "Sirius" helped the Angolan authorities in the organization of the National School vіyskovoї avіatsії ENAM.

At the same time, the people who bought the boules were not just radniks: in fact, they were satisfied with the work from scratch. master mortgage At that hour, as the Angolan team, through the lack of access to the first robotized mission, the role of a sposter was introduced. Tsia and іnsha additional help, helped to organize "from scratch" the army of Angola and to transform the current aggression of marionettes to imperialism.

Vіyna in Angola fell on the 25th spring of 1975 rock. On that day, on the eve of the winter, the territory of Angola was entered by the Vijska Zaire, who began to prepare the pro-active gang-formations of the FNLA. The 14th army of the racist PAR (de in ti rocky reigning in the apartheid regime) invaded the territory of Angola for the past day, nadtrimka UNITA - to clean up their occupation regime in Namibia.

However, before the end of the birch of 1976, the battle against the armies of Angola with the direct presence of 15,000 Cuban volunteers and the help of the Radians' military forces into the distance of life from the territory of Angola to the United States of America. Vіyna continued the UNITA movement in the cholі z Jonas Savіmbі, zumіlo shvidko transforms into the partisan army. UNITA itself became the main opponent of the legitimate government of Angola, permanently there are bandits' vilazki on the vicious and horrible punitive actions against the civilian population.

Zitknennya with the regular army of the PAIR, as it was violated by the direct aggression of UNITA, was renewed with a new force at the Pivden of Angola in 1981. At the crescent of 1981, the Vyska PAR (6 thousand battles, 80 years and helicopters) once again invaded Angola in the province of Kuneni from the meta to loosen the grip of the FAPLA on UNITA and the base of the SWAPO partisans. In the offensive, they took their fate, so a very mercenary adventure from the US, thugs and frosts, for a penny crooked to the regime, apartheid rushed to drive into the young African republic.

In general, Cuba has increased its presence in the region. For the sake of a group of Radianskih military brigades (until 1985, the number reached 2 thousand people), 45 army brigades were staffed up to 80%, and the level of combat training of commanders and combatants. SRSP promoted large-scale supplies vіyskovoї technology... Krim Cuban units in the battles for the battles of the legal order of Angola took the part of the Namibi brigade PLAN and drive the fighting krill of the African National Congress "Umkonto ve Sizve".

Fights at the weekend and at the end of the country were gone with a change of success. The young republic gave a virulent battle to racist aggressors PAR-invitations and old marionettes from UNITA in 1987-1988 rock. For the third time, a small village about three streets under the name of Kuito Kuanavale has become a place for all the buildings of the New Years, and the small town has become an "Angolan Stalingrad".

Virіshalny offensive (opera "Privitannya Zhovtnyu") appeared in the crescent of 1987 rock. Meta - two head bases of UNITA in Mavinga and Zhamba (the headquarters of Savimbi), the main routes of deliveries of vіyskovo additional aid from the PAR were immediately passed. Chotiri mechanized brigades of uryadovyh viysk (21st, 16th, 47th, 59th, and in the past - 25th) went from Kuito Kuanavale to the Mavinga area. Up to 150 T-54B and T-55 tanks were built at their warehouses. The group was trained from Kuito-Kuanvale to attack helicopters Mi-24, vinschuvachi MiG-23. The main crossing on the їkh highway was a river Lomb. The 61st mechanization battalion is first to the rychka.

In a series of important battles for the crossings on Lomba in the period from 9 Spring to 7 June, the Pivdenal Africans and the Units made an angry attack on the enemy. The turning point was set by the 3rd zhovtnya, since on the liv birch Lomba as a result of the literate days from the start, the 47th brigade was destroyed, and then the 16th brigade. Two days later, I will enter the FAPLA in Kuito-Kuanaval. On the 14th day of the Viska PAR and UNITA they sent a fire to the city from the distant 155-m G5 howitzers and the self-powered G6 howitzers. Until the middle of the leaf fall, the reduction in the size of all tanks and artillery (they had lost M-46, D-30 and ZIS-3 and RSZV BM-21 garmat from the artillery installation), the FAPLA in Kuito Kuanavale rose to the brink. Okh vryatuvalo arrived in the zone of fighting for Cuban children (up to 1.5 thousand).

In their own way, the pragmatic peers of Kuito-Kuanavale, the pіddenno-Afrikanians vikoristovuyu to win the fight against the mass. Axis scho, having written down a participant of tikh boiv young lieutenant with his friend Igor Zhdarkin:
“October 29, 1987 At 14.00 a terrible sound was heard on the radio. About 13.10 the enemy fired at the 59th brigade with shells, stuffed with cheeky otruynyi speeches. Bagato the Angolan soldiers were disarmed, the deyakis were noisy, the brigade commander was coughing up blood. We've got our radniks on board. Viter yakraz duv u uhniy bik, it’s a lot of money to spend on strong headaches and boredom. Qia zvistka we didn’t have a fever, and even we didn’t have enough protogas on our own, not even talking about the OZK ”.

And the axis of the offensive is written:

“1 + falling leaves 1987 r Nich passed calmly. About 12 years ago, they flew aviation to the war with the 59th brigade, threw off more than a dozen 500-kilogram bombs at the її position. I don’t know about it.

Our artillery troopers rejected the launch date and violated the enemy's 155-mm howitzer battery. Angolans fired a salvo from BM-21. At the end of the battle, the Yurovtsi fired fire from their howitzers. They beat me more precisely, with short interruptions. One of three shells rozvavsya called with our dugout. Yak came to see, mi just "suddenly were born." Shooting in a radius of 30 m from the dugout all the chagarniki and small trees completely splintered. I smell nasty on the right vukho - concussion. The brigade commander, Anatoly Artemenka, may have gotten a jerky vibe: he has a lot of “noise” in his head. "

Seven massed assaults by the allies of the FAPLA and Cuban positions on the bank birch of the Kuito rivulet from June 13 to March 23, 1988, were deployed to organize defense (with which the Cuban Brigadier General Ochoa Keruvav). 25 fierce becoming the turning point of the battle. At the end of the day, Cuban and Angolan units themselves counterattacked, having forced the enemy to enter. The moral spirit of the imposing dramatic images. Before that, it was becoming obvious that the old half-African wineries Mirage F1 and the software were designed for Cuban and Angolan winners MiG-23ML and mobile systems PPO "Osa-AK", "Strela-10" and the station "Pechora-125" Kuito Kuanavale.

After the last few attacks, the 23rd birch through the Pretoria, the order was taken away, having surpassed the 1.5 thousand contingent (Boyova group 20) to pretend to the entrance. Howitzer G5 prodovzhuvali fired at the place. At the end of the day, the artillery worm was transferred to the main warehouse in Namibia.

The offended parties voiced about the ludicrous success in the battle for Kuito Kuanavale. However, even before its completion, from the initiative of Fidel Castro, another front led by the command of General Leopoldo Sintra Frias, kudi krim Cubans (40 thousand) and parts of the FAPLA (30 thousand) The ugrupovannya bulo was supported by 600 tanks and up to 60 battle tanks. There were three months of boy's zitknen, step by step to vindicate to the cordon from Pivdenno-Western Africa. At the heart of the vіyska PAr, they have deprived the territory of Angola.

In general, the war ended with Angola's might over the occupants. Ale tsya peremoga was given an important price: only the middle of the civilian population wasted more than 300 thousand people. There are no exact tributes of the Vyskovy passages of Angola until now through those who Hromadyanska vіyna trivial in the country right up to the ear of zero. On the other hand, the SRCP deposited 54 dead, 10 wounded and 1 deaths (according to the given data, three people were consumed in full). On the other side of the Cuban side, close to 1000 died.

The Radianska Vіyskova Mission passed through Angola until 1991, and then it was burnt through political reasons. At the same time, the Cuban army left the country. The veterans of the war in Angola with great difficulty fought for the fall of the SRCP, the realization of their feat. And even worse, it’s even unfair, even that vіynu stench played and deservedly deserved to wage and shanu, but for the new capitalist power it’s bulo, zoosumіlo, not an argument. In Afghanistan, Radianski Vіyska and Vіyskovі Radniki Mali will be right with the "Mujahideen", in the main lightweight firearms, minomers and grenade launchers. In Angola, radianski vіyskovosluzhbovtsі didn’t just hit the unit partisan corrals Along with the regular army steam, with the shelling of far-off artillery, nalots of "Mirazhiv", which cleaned out "smart" bombs, often stuffed with "bags" fenced by the UN convention.

The first Cubans, the Radians' people, and the people of Angola, fought in an uneasy battle against such a serious and reliable enemy, who were remembered. They remembered both the living and the dead.

Glory to the international warriors, with honor they have visoned their international relations in the Republic of Angola and we will be remembered there for a long time.

W mid-70s rr. In the last century, the Portuguese colony became the object of a large-scale prototype. At the national level, the government was led by the nationally-vis-à-vis the MPLA and the defeated opponents from the UNITA and the FNLA, at the regional one - by Angola and the PARS, and over the past two years, the United States made a global plan. In the end of the conflict, there were also nationally-vis-à-vis forces: SWAPO, as it fights for the power of the Namibia, and the ANC, which stood up against the usurpation of power in the PAR by a young minority.

The scope of confrontation, as and a number of participants in a conflict of forces, viyshov far beyond the framework of one country and all at an accelerating pace have re-created hot point the planet into a large-scale zone of instability, which is cluttered in the midst of a global conflict between the provincial nuclear powers.

Practical Vpershe in іstorії CPCP Radyans'ka kerіvnitstvom Bulo supplied zavdannya for tisyachі kіlometrіv od kordonіv svoєї Vіtchizni in dalekіy Pіvdennіy Afritsі dopomogti іnshіy kraїnі in budіvnitstvі natsіonalnoї armії, vіdobrazhennі zovnіshnoї agresії i borotbі proti vnutrіshnoї zbroynoї opozitsії. And not only. The criticality of the SRSR, not working out because of it, pushed to transform Angola into the standard of the African socialist state, and to turn to the Radiansky Union. The wide sense of the word Angola, which has taken more important geostrategic position and bagat natural resources(Nafta, diamonds, zalizna ore), looked out by the Radiansky Kerivnistvom as a svєrіdny key to Africa, as a base for the expansion of its political and vіyskogo infusion in the region.

In the plan for a global prototype for the United States, Angola was an important object of interest from the side of the capital of the Radiant Forces. The picture of the thrashing of Angola's independence from the CPSR and the NRA has been written for the sake of the victoriousness of the New Infrastructure. An unprecedented vіyskovo-naval base of Angola was nominated for the order of the radio operational escort, the aerodrome bullets were nominated for the landing of our strategic, developmental, transport and countervailing aviation. And for the establishment of the national ZS, thousands of Vyskovy radniks have been straightened in the region.

"BATTLE FOR Kuyto-KUANAVALE"

In Angola, radianska vіyskova additional help came in a wide stream. Only in three months, after the 11 fall of leaves in 1975 passed by, from the SRCP in the port of Angola, controlled by the MPLA corrals, 27 large-tonnage transports were delivered from the SRCP and Cuba with combat technology, cars, heavy vehicles. The supplies for the MPLA were supplied by Yugoslavia, NDR, Algeria.

Until April 1976, only from the SRSR at the MPLA address, and after the series formed by it, up to 30 Mi-8 helicopters, 10 MiG-17 and MiG-19 helicopters were delivered, 12 MiG-21 machines of the latest modifications, 34 tanks, 200 T-54 tanks, 50 PT-76 amphibious tanks, more than 300 BTR-152, BTR-60PB, BMP-1 and BRDM, close to 100 salvo launchers for BM-21 and BM-14. They also straightened 122-mm artillery systems D-30, minometi, anti-aircraft installations ZIS-3-76, ZPU-1, ZU-23-4, ZU-23-2, portable anti-aircraft missile systems "Strela-2" and great numbers sochasne streletske ozbroєnnya. A large part of the whole stock was supplied "in the interests of the Cubans", who arrived to Angola for the help of the MPLA.

Inasmuch as not to admit a further crackdown on UNITA, its virtual ally in the region, the PAR army repeatedly invaded Angola. In the battles in the Angolan territory, the participation of the additional forces or the grouping of the military paratroopers, the troops on the cordon of Angola from Namibia, the Buffalo battalion, the 101st "Black" battalion of the territorial forces of the 61st Army of the Soviet Army, took part. In total, there were about 20 thousand soldiers and officers, up to 150 tanks and armored personnel carriers, 400 artillery troops in the near-Cordon regions. Children of land-based aircrafts trained over 80 daily combat and transport aircraft and helicopters.

The greatest prototypes of the Angola-Cuban wars with the American African and Ukrainian formations in the course of the entire Angolan conflict was the "Battle for Kuyto-Kuanavale" in 1987-1988 rr. (In PAR, the operation was codenamed "Modular"). For the official Angolan standard tribute, in the course of the operation, nearly 1400 counterrevolutionaries were shot down, 1380 units of artillery and gunnery were seized, and up to 40 years were killed in helicopters. About the scale of combat action, to speak of the fact that the Angolan and Cuban Air Forces from the serpent of 1987 rock to the late 1988 produced 2950 combat villotes from the Kuito-Quanavale and Menongue aerodromes. Closely 1,100 of them fell on the battlefield for the launch of missile and bomb strikes on ground targets, in the course of which hundreds of Ukrainian and American soldiers and officers were killed, as well as dozens of military personnel.

One day with the data of the PAR, the Pivdeno-African Litaki "Mirage F-1AZ" and the "Bukanir", we went in the course of the operation close to 700 combat lithuanians, threw off at the positions of the Angolan and Cuban bombs: 1658-Cuban bombs: 1658 kg. 433 120-kg fragmentation and 105 120-kg high-explosive.

"The Battle of Kuito-Quanavale" became a turning point in the history of Angola. Vona bowed an ear of "separation" of Cuban and Pivdeno African vіysk. After more than 14 months of uninterrupted battles in the Angolan savannah side, having crossed over, but with a great way not to overcome all problems, we went to talk. І vreshti-resht has been taken a decision about the step-by-step and one-hour vivedennі of Cuban and Pіvdenno-African trips from Angola. The pleasure of the process was signed in New York 22 chest 1988 r

For more than 10 rockies in the land of triva, hromadyanska vіyna. Having become the leader of UNITA Savimbi, the leader of the UNITA Savimbi has become the head generator, but the Angolan district has not been willing to act. However, the success of the Angolan Forces in the offensive against the positions of UNITA in the center of the country in the course of the operation "Renovation" made it possible to drive UNITA to join. Parts of the Angolan Uryadovaya Army (FAA) were held in 2000-2001. a number of operations to clean up the territory of the most recent failures in the provinces of Huambo, Bin, Malanzha, Moshiko, Pivnichna and Pivdenna Lunda, in the course of which many successes have been reached. Nareshti in the fierce 2002 rock at the hour of the operation of the Angolan military "Kissonde" in the province of Moshiko, not far from the cordon to Zambia, the leader of UNITA Savimbi had drunk at the end of the day. Vіyskovе prototype in Angola, which three times more than thirty rockіv, has come to an end.

halo of tamnichosti

Vіyna in Angola for the great Russian hulks and for the present to become rich in what is not home. Around the time of the transfer of the Radianski Vіyskovoservices there a halo of mystery and mystery emerges. At most of the Radians' service services, they went to Angola, and until the whole day in the special right-hand side there were some messages about the trip to Afrika. Good, let me write down about the "special overseas command" there is an inconspicuous stamp with the number of the military unit, behind which the 10th Head of the General Staff of the ZS SRSR was named. You can’t have a lot of rosrahovuvati and for the pilgrims, you can pay the participants of the boy's events: try, bring your honor to the days of quiet rockies:

Most of the people went to Angola for military servicemen, officers and warrant officers, military officers for combat operations and servicemen for defense and combat technology, warriors, troopers, wardens 'headquarters, wardens' commanders ... The first group of 40 people, which was stocked with fachivts from the battlefield and the battle transitions, arrived in Angola immediately after the thundering of the independence of the land of 11 leaf fall, 1975. Won a little carte blanche for participation in the battlegrounds. yaka "allowed the Radiansky Vіyskovy Fakhіvtsy brothers to participate in combat actions on the side of the MPLA forces and Cuban Vіysk".

General І. Ponomarenko, as a command in the SRSR guards army, Rozgornoї on states of wartime. Until now, a feast in Angola with the warmth of Colonel-General K. Kurochkin, who took over the middle of Angola and Cubans popularity as "General Kostyantin". Mav dosvid Velikoi Vіtchiznyanoї vіyniі boyovyh dіy in Afghanistan, wіn arrived in Africa from the planting of the intercessor, the command of the vach Airborne troops. Served with the Airborne Forces and Colonel-General V. Balyaev, kolishniy in 1988-1991 rr. intercessor, and then the head vіyskovy radnik in Angola.

Only for the period of the official military sport of the USSR in Angola, from 1975 to 1991, in the whole African country with the purpose of providing additional assistance in the state of affairs of the national army, it was close to 11 thousand. Radianskih viskovoservices, of which 107 generals and admirals, 7211 officers, ponad 3, 5 yew. ensigns, midshipmen, privates, as well as robots and services of the SA and the Navy, not members of the family of radio servicemen. In addition, during the whole period of the coast of Angola, they served in combat service of thousands of Russian sailors, including naval sailors, who were on board and entered the ports of Angola by combat ships.

To our servicemen, which is someone else's form and not too small with their own documents, but not to notice a person who has never brought life in charts and dugouts, constantly being aware of the lack of medical attention, due to the fact that And often, when they went to the dormitories from the Angolan combat operations, they took the stench in their hands, the automatic machines, sat at the helm of the combat vehicles, and the important tanks, the remote controls in the fire of the missile and anti-aircraft installations. Tse bully spravzhny vіyskovі professionals, as well as they were richly fought for the establishment of the Anti-Broken Forces of Angola. In addition, the Angolan army, having been repairing since the mid-80s of the 20th century, has become practical in the Rivals to "lead the roam" from the most published in that hour to the Armenian African continent - the Armenian PAR - the merit of thousands is great. of radians' officers and general, in early hour praised in Angola.

Ale not all of them were judged to turn to Batkivshchyna. Deyakim was able to see his life in the African land.

sorrowful list

To get involved, in the period up to 1991, during the fighting in Angola, 54 civilians were lost and died, including 45 officers, 5 warrant officers, 2 soldiers of the line service and two servicemen. Over the course of the period, 10 people were wounded, and one of the Radiansk servicemen was warrant officer Pestretsov in the course of the PAAR aggression in the serpna in 1981, having eaten in the Pivdenno-African full of food and supplies at the PAA prisoners close to the rocky pianist. Only the workers of the copyright robots of the spy workers of the Radiansk MZS and the secret negotiations with the Indian African special services reached the distance.

However, the hovering figures are the price of the official data. The stench does not stench the intensity of the fighting events and the steps of learning in them the radians and the fakhivts, as well as the waste of the civil factions, which were lost and consumed in full at once from the victorious - Angolan people. It is no secret that many wounded and perished in these wounds were formed like "died from natural causes" or "ailments from tropical ailments". To that є let us respect the death of the Radians' hulks in that period in Angola there was a lot more. Skіlki? It is not impossible to find a place for zyasuvati, since it is an archivist in Vyskovo-political relations with Angola to a secret.

The other half of the 20th century was marked by significant changes in the development of African powers. Go about activism against colonization policy European powers... All the tendencies were imagined in quiet podiatyas, as they were seen since 1961 in Angola.

Angola on the map of Africa: geographic location

Angola is the center of one of the African powers that have started the message of the Other Holy War. In order to be able to operate in the situation, as it was in the whole state, stretching out the other half of the 20th century, you need to start a little business, since Angola is on the map with some territories between them. Happy land roztashovana in

Between the two at the meeting with Namibin, as before the end of the 1980s, the rockets were more ordered by the PAR (this is still an important factor!), At the descent - from Zambia. At the party and at the party sovereign cordon s Democratic Zakhidny cordon - tse Atlantic ocean... Knowing, with the yaky powers of Angola between them, it will be easier for us to roam in the paths of the invasion of the territory of the land of the foreign powers.

Cause an ear of wine

Viyna in Angola did not regret it spontaneously. In the middle of the Angolan suspension, from 1950 to 1960, three small groups were established, who respected their zealots for the struggle for the independence of the state. The problem is that the stench could not be communicated through the ideological insanity.

What about the groupie? The first group - MPLA (deciphered as the People's Movement for the Angolan Civilization) - was the ideal for the development of the state in Maybut, it was the Marxist ideology. Mozhlivo, Agostinyo Neto (leader of the party) and not being an idealist in the state system of the CPSR, that is why Karl Marx looked only economically because of the fact that Marxism was submitted to the Union. Ale MPLA was organized on the international support of the region for social welfare.

Another group is the FNLA (National Front for the Angolan Civil War), the ideology of which was also tsikava. FNLA leader Holden Roberto was honored with the idea of ​​an independent development, which was suggested by Chinese philosophers. Prior to the speech, the activity of the FNLA was not safe for Angola itself, for that he came to the power of Roberto having thundered the land with a rocket. To what? Holden Roberto was a relative of the President of Zaire, and once he was able to give it a part of the territory of Angola.

The third group - UNITA (National Front for the Independence of Angola) - was transformed into a pro-educational organization. Skin іх cich groups are small enough to receive the support and development of the social base. Making peace and getting along with the group and not getting magalized, so back then, with the help of the skin of the parties, it represented the way to fight the colonists, and the smut was a further development of the land. The very tsі supernosti і brought to the ear of battle in 1975 rotsі.

Ear of wine

Vіyna in Angola fell on the 25th spring of 1975 rock. Not a gift for the ear of the statty we said geographic location countries and guessed susіdіv. At the end of the day from the territory of Zaire, they were gone, they went to the FNLA show. The situation accelerated on the 14th of July 1975 to the rock, since the Vіyska PAR (from the territory of the under-control PAR Namibia) went to Angola. This has become a part of the UNITA party. The logic of such a political position of the PARs in the Angolan conflict is obvious: there are a lot of Portuguese people in the PARK. MPLA is also small enough to receive a call. There is about the army of SWAPO, as the independence of the Namibia from the PAR.

Also, my bachimo, at the end of 1975, the fate of the land that we saw was seen in one of the decile powers, which stood one to one. Ale hromadyanska vіyna in Angola could take off and in a wider sense - like a vіyskovy conflict between a number of powers.

Viyna in Angola: opera "Savannah"

What did the vіyska PAr do at once by sending the cordon over to Angola? That's right - bulo is more active. These battles have gone into history as the operation "Savannah". Pivdenno-Afrikanski vіyska boules were added to the drum group. The success of the operation "Savannah" has made it impossible for the Zulu and other parts to fail. For a few days, the stench conquered the whole of Angola's ancient retreat. The Foxbat group was located in the central region.

The army seized such objects: places in Lumbalu, Kakulia, Katenge, Benguela airport, a few trenuval camps MPLA. The crossing of the armies was trivial until the 13th leaf fall, if the stench took over the place of Novo Redondo. The Foxbat group also played a very important fight for place # 14.

The group "X-Ray" took over the Cuban army from the places of Xanlongo, Luso, seized the place of Salazar and zupinila the Cubans in the direction of Cariango.

The fate of the SRCP in the boyovyh diyakh

Having analyzed the historical chronicle, miraculously, the inhabitants of the Union practically did not know what was going on in Angola. СРСР nіkoli didn’t advertise their active fate at the podіakh.

After the introduction of the VISK ZAIR and the PAR leader of the MPLA, the leader of the MPLA returned to the CPSR and Cuba. The leaders of the land of the socialist camp could not evolve in addition to the army and the party, as they promoted socialist ideology. Vіyskovі conflicts with such a plan bully in the deyakіy world vigіdnі SRSR, so that the party's credibility still has not lost the idea of ​​exporting the revolution.

The international assistance of Angola Bula Nadana is great. Officially, she took part in battles from 1975 to 1979, but in reality, in the whole conflict, our soldiers took part before the fall of the SRSR. Official and real data about losing in a whole confl ict is being seen. The documents of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR directly state that, before the hour of war in Angola, our army lost 11 men. Vіyskovі expert vvazayut tsyu figure is even underestimated і gossip to think about 100 people.

Boys in leaf fall-chest 1975 rock

Viyna in Angola on the first stage of the stage was even bloody. Let's analyze at once the basic steps of the stage. Otzhe, kіlka krain introduced their own vіyska. Proceed as well. How do you see the distance? from the SRSR and Kubi in the viglyadi fahivtsiv, technology, significantly strengthened the MPLA army.

The first serious success of the whole army was seen at the battle of Kifangondo. Opponents bully vіyska Zaireu and FNLA. At the time of the cobbing of the battle, the strategic battle was boomed by the MPLA army; On the 11th of the leaves, the FNLA army played a fight and created its position behind the great rakhunk, practically stopping the struggle for power in Angola.

The MPLA army did not have any re-repairs, and it was coming at the very same hour (the operation "Savannah"). Vіyska її sank into the territory of the land approximately 3000-3100 km. Chi did not worry about being in Angola! Tank battle between the forces of the MPLA and UNITA was seen on the 17th of a leaf fall, 1975, near the place of Ganguly. The price of socialization has played socially. The successful part of the operation "Savannah" has ended at the end. While the MPLA army continued to advance, the enemy did not succeed, and permanent battles were encountered.

The situation at the front in 1976 rotsi

Vіyskovі conflіkti continued in the offensive, 1976, rotsі. For example, the MPLA forces seized the FNLA base at the pivnochі krajini already for 6 days. One of the opponents of the socialist is actually a boost of overdrive. Surely, about the pinning of the fault, and without thinking, that Angola was checked with great fate. As a result, the FNLA saw a rise in the rose and left Angola in about 2 years. Having gone out without a strengthened camp, the stench could not continue to actively promote the campaign.

No less serious commitment to the MPLA's security has been brought to the attention of the Virishuvati Dal, to which Angola did not receive regular units of the armies of the United States of America and the PAR. Before the speech, duzhe tsikava positsiya schodo obruntuvannya their vіyskovyh houses in Angola at the PAR. Pivdenno-African politicians have been reconsidered, but the unstable situation in the modern land may cause negative inheritance for the nation. Yaki? For example, they were afraid of activization of protest rulers. With zimi supernikov, you went into the distance to the end of the birch 1976 rock.

Evidently, the MPLA itself with the regular armies of the enemy could not help it. The main role of the vitisnenny opponents behind the cordon of the state is to lay 15,000 Cubans and Radianski Vіyskovym fahіvtsyam. There were no systematic and active battles for a day, so the enemy of UNITA has violated the message guerrilla warrior... With this form of prototype, in the main, other essences were seen.

Partisan stage of viyni

Pislya 1976 to rock the character of the boyovyh dyy trohi changing. Until 1981, the Inland Armies did not carry out systemic military operations on the territory of Angola. The organization of UNITA thought that it was impossible to win over FALPA (Army of Angola) in vicious battles. Speaking about the Angolan army, we are guilty of reason, but the MPLA actually did it, so the socialist situation since 1975 has been officially overtaken by Vlad. Yak, before the speech, Agostinyo Neto, the ensign of Angola is not free of black-chervony. Chervoniy kolіr is most often used for symbols of socialist powers, and black colir is the center of colіras of the African continent.

Closed 1980-1981 rock

In the end of the 1970s, you can talk about the lockdown of the UNITA partisan corrals. U 1980-1981 pp. vіyna in Angola is active. For example, in the first half of the 1980s, the VISKA PAR more than 500 times invaded the Angolan territory. So, the price did not appear to be strategic operations, but all the same actions significantly destabilized the situation in the country. In 1981, the activity of the Indian African military grew up before a large-scale military operation was carried out, as in the hands of the history of the bullet, it was named "Protea".

Parts of the army of the PARs pushed through the Angolan territory up to 150-200 km, there was food about the drowning of decilkoh settlements. As a result of the current and serious defense forces, 800 Angolan soldiers were killed by the targeted fire of the enemy. It’s just as clear (I wouldn’t know anywhere in the official documents) about the death of 9 Radiansk servicemen. Until the birch of 1984, the rock boys were periodically renewed.

Battle of Kuito Kuanaval

Through some rock, a large-scale war in Angola has been renewed. The Battle of Kuito-Kuanavale (1987-1988) was an even more important turning point in the huge protist. The soldiers of the People's Army of Angola took part in this battle, Cuban and Radianski Viyiskov - from one side; partisans UNITA and the army of the PAR - from іnshy. Tsey bey ended shortly for UNITA and PAR, which was brought to ruin in the course of time. With a great stench, a near-Cordonous place was poured out, making the Angolans easier to transfer their parts.

For the whole battle, nareshti, hearty peace talks. Zvychayno, vіyna triviala і in the 1990s rock, even the battle of Kuito-Quanaval, we will turn to the corny of the Angolan forces. Today's Angola is an independent power and is developing. Prapor of Angola to talk about the political organization of the state for this day.

Why didn't the SRCP know the official fate of the war?

Yak vidomo, in 1979 the USSR Army hosted an intervention in Afghanistan. Victory of the international connection was made for the necessary and prestigious, albeit such a kind of invasion, involved in the life of the people who were not even accepted by the people of the SRSR and their spirituality. The very fact is that the official Union has made its part in the Angolan campaign only in the period from 1975 to 1979.

Wine in Angola

It’s practically not known about the huge war in Angola in our country, but it’s not fair. It is unfair for the address to the Radianski instructors and allies, the international warriors from Kubi. Chi does not guess, mabut, that is why the Radiansky Union and the allies have definitely played.
It is also a long time ago that the feats of the Radianskiye Vіyskovy Radniks for the hour of the day were not seen in the Radiansk Union. Mabut the woeful "publicity" was widened only on suede dissidents, but not on heroes-internationals, professionally and honestly vykonalovyh of their requirements.

We have a full statistic about the most intense and large-scale battle of this war - the battle for the place of Kuito Kuanavale.
In the 80s of the 20th century, Angola became the object of a long-standing prototype. At the national rivni vіyna was carried out as they came to the power of the nationally-vis-à-vis the MPLA and the defendants from the UNITA and the FNLA. On the regional level, there are two superpowers - the USSR and the United States - in the regime of apartheid PAR, and on the global plan.
Todi, in the era of "cold vіyny", the food was put as follows: hto from them you can pour a sutta into Angola, that will take the "key" to all the Pivdenniy Afritsi. Todi ekonomichna additional aid to the Radiansky Union allowed independent Angola to get back on its feet. And they were installed by a thousand of Radianskiye Radniks, who came to the country, helped to bring about a new aggression and to establish national security forces.
Only during the period of the official military service of the USSR in Angola from 1975 to 1991 in the whole African country with the purpose of providing additional assistance in the future of the national army. Among them there are 107 generals and admirals, 7,211 officers, over 3.5 thousand ensigns, military officers, privates, and also robots and services of the SA and the Navy, who are not members of the family of radio servicemen.
In addition, during the whole period of the coast of Angola, they served in combat service of thousands of Russian sailors, including naval sailors, who were on board and entered the ports of Angola by combat ships. And there are boi lotschiks, likars, ribalki, fakhivtsi from the Silskoy government. In total, at least 50 yews have passed through the whole land following the pidrahunks of the Spilki of Angolan Veterans. Radianskih hulks.
Vahomiy additions to the future of Angolan forces were made by the allies of the SRCP itself - the Cubans. A contingent of the bloody forces of the Republic of Cuba arrived in Angola in 1975. Until the end of 1975, Cuba sent 25,000 soldiers to Angola. The internationals were there right before the signing of the "New York Lands" - the victory of the Cuban military forces of the PAR. In total, 300 thousand Cuban vicinities, not civilians, passed through the war in Angola.
I can help them with technology, ammunition, ammunition and civilian radomes, so they poured into the countries-participants of the Warsaw Treaty Organization. So only NDR supplied 1.5 million rounds of ammunition for the army and 2000 MPLA (for the fighting forces of Angola). The Romanian assistants, instructors and auxiliary personnel during the course of the "Sirius" mission assisted the Angolan authorities in the organization of the National School of International Aviation ENAM.
At the same time, the owners of the bully were not just radniks: in fact, they were entrusted with the task of starting from scratch to establish the initial mortgage, at that time, as the Angolan team, through the lack of awareness, the role of a sposter was introduced into the first robotized mission. Tsia and іnsha additional help, helped to organize "from scratch" the army of Angola and to transform the current aggression of marionettes to imperialism.
Vіyna in Angola fell on the 25th spring of 1975 rock. On that day, on the eve of the winter, the territory of Angola was entered by the Vijska Zaire, who began to prepare the pro-active gang-formations of the FNLA. The 14th army of the racist PAR (de in ti rocky reigning in the apartheid regime) invaded the territory of Angola for the past day, nadtrimka UNITA - to clean up their occupation regime in Namibia.
However, before the end of the birch of 1976, the battle against the armies of Angola with the direct presence of 15,000 Cuban volunteers and the help of the Radians' military forces into the distance of life from the territory of Angola to the United States of America. Vіyna continued the UNITA movement in the cholі z Jonas Savіmbі, zumіlo shvidko transforms into the partisan army. UNITA itself became the main opponent of the legitimate government of Angola, permanently there are bandits' vilazki on the vicious and horrible punitive actions against the civilian population.
Zitknennya with the regular army of the PAIR, as it was violated by the direct aggression of UNITA, was renewed with a new force at the Pivden of Angola in 1981. At the crescent of 1981, the Vyska PAR (6 thousand battles, 80 years and helicopters) once again invaded Angola in the province of Kuneni from the meta to loosen the grip of the FAPLA on UNITA and the base of the SWAPO partisans. In the offensive, they took their fate, so a very mercenary adventure from the US, thugs and frosts, for a penny crooked to the regime, apartheid rushed to drive into the young African republic.
In general, Cuba has increased its presence in the region. For the sake of a group of Radianskih military brigades (until 1985, the number reached 2 thousand people), 45 army brigades were staffed up to 80%, and the level of combat training of commanders and combatants. SRSR has promoted large-scale supplies of health and safety equipment. Krim Cuban units in the battles for the battles of the legal order of Angola took the part of the Namibi brigade PLAN and drive the fighting krill of the African National Congress "Umkonto ve Sizve".

Fights at the weekend and at the end of the country were gone with a change of success. The young republic gave a virulent battle to racist aggressors PAR-invitations and old marionettes from UNITA in 1987-1988 rock. For the third time, a small village about three streets under the name of Kuito Kuanavale has become a place for all the buildings of the New Years, and the small town has become an "Angolan Stalingrad".
Virіshalny offensive (opera "Privitannya Zhovtnyu") appeared in the crescent of 1987 rock. Meta - two head bases of UNITA in Mavinga and Zhamba (the headquarters of Savimbi), the main routes of deliveries of vіyskovo additional aid from the PAR were immediately passed. Chotiri mechanized brigades of uryadovyh viysk (21st, 16th, 47th, 59th, and in the past - 25th) went from Kuito Kuanavale to the Mavinga area. Up to 150 T-54B and T-55 tanks were built at their warehouses. The group was trained from Kuito-Kuanvale to attack helicopters Mi-24, vinschuvachi MiG-23. The main crossing on the їkh highway was a river Lomb. The 61st mechanization battalion is first to the rychka.
In a series of important battles for the crossings on Lomba in the period from 9 Spring to 7 June, the Pivdenal Africans and the Units made an angry attack on the enemy. The turning point was set by the 3rd zhovtnya, since on the liv birch Lomba as a result of the literate days from the start, the 47th brigade was destroyed, and then the 16th brigade. Two days later, I will enter the FAPLA in Kuito-Kuanaval. On the 14th day of the Viska PAR and UNITA they sent a fire to the city from the distant 155-m G5 howitzers and the self-powered G6 howitzers. Until the middle of the leaf fall, the reduction in the size of all tanks and artillery (they had lost M-46, D-30 and ZIS-3 and RSZV BM-21 garmat from the artillery installation), the FAPLA in Kuito Kuanavale rose to the brink. Okh vryatuvalo arrived in the zone of fighting for Cuban children (up to 1.5 thousand).

In their own way, the pragmatic peers of Kuito-Kuanavale, the pіddenno-Afrikanians vikoristovuyu to win the fight against the mass. Axis scho, having written down the participant of quiet battles, young lieutenant Igor Zhdarkin, at his friend's friend:
“October 29, 1987 At 14.00 a terrible sound was heard on the radio. About 13.10 the enemy fired at the 59th brigade with shells, stuffed with cheeky otruynyi speeches. Bagato the Angolan soldiers were disarmed, the deyakis were noisy, the brigade commander was coughing up blood. We've got our radniks on board. Viter yakraz duv u uhniy bik, it’s a lot of money to spend on strong headaches and boredom. Qia zvistka we didn’t have a fever, and even we didn’t have enough protogas on our own, not even talking about the OZK ”.
And the axis of the offensive is written:
“1 + falling leaves 1987 r Nich passed calmly. About 12 years ago, they flew aviation to the war with the 59th brigade, threw off more than a dozen 500-kilogram bombs at the її position. I don’t know about it.
Our artillery troopers rejected the launch date and violated the enemy's 155-mm howitzer battery. Angolans fired a salvo from BM-21. At the end of the battle, the Yurovtsi fired fire from their howitzers. They beat me more precisely, with short interruptions. One of three shells rozvavsya called with our dugout. Yak came to see, mi just "suddenly were born." Shooting in a radius of 30 m from the dugout all the chagarniki and small trees completely splintered. I smell nasty on the right vukho - concussion. The brigade commander, Anatoly Artemenka, may have gotten a jerky vibe: he has a lot of “noise” in his head. "
Seven massed assaults by the allies of the FAPLA and Cuban positions on the bank birch of the Kuito rivulet from June 13 to March 23, 1988, were deployed to organize defense (with which the Cuban Brigadier General Ochoa Keruvav). 25 fierce becoming the turning point of the battle. At the end of the day, Cuban and Angolan units themselves counterattacked, having forced the enemy to enter. The moral spirit of the imposing dramatic images. Before that, it was becoming obvious that the old half-African wineries Mirage F1 and the software were designed for Cuban and Angolan winners MiG-23ML and mobile systems PPO "Osa-AK", "Strela-10" and the station "Pechora-125" Kuito Kuanavale.
After the last few attacks, the 23rd birch through the Pretoria, the order was taken away, having surpassed the 1.5 thousand contingent (Boyova group 20) to pretend to the entrance. Howitzer G5 prodovzhuvali fired at the place. At the end of the day, the artillery worm was transferred to the main warehouse in Namibia.
The offended parties voiced about the ludicrous success in the battle for Kuito Kuanavale. However, even before its completion, from the initiative of Fidel Castro, another front led by the command of General Leopoldo Sintra Frias, kudi krim Cubans (40 thousand) and parts of the FAPLA (30 thousand) The ugrupovannya bulo was supported by 600 tanks and up to 60 battle tanks. There were three months of boy's zitknen, step by step to vindicate to the cordon from Pivdenno-Western Africa. At the heart of the vіyska PAr, they have deprived the territory of Angola.

In general, the war ended with Angola's might over the occupants. Ale tsya peremoga was given an important price: only the middle of the civilian population wasted more than 300 thousand people. There are no exact tributes to Angola’s worth of money to this day through those who have been trivialized in the land in the country right up to the ear of zero. On the other hand, the SRCP deposited 54 dead, 10 wounded and 1 deaths (according to the given data, three people were consumed in full). On the other side of the Cuban side, close to 1000 died.
The Radianska Vіyskova Mission passed through Angola until 1991, and then it was burnt through political reasons. At the same time, the Cuban army left the country. The veterans of the war in Angola with great difficulty fought for the fall of the SRCP, the realization of their feat. And even worse, it’s even unfair, even that vіynu stench played and deservedly deserved to wage and shanu, but for the new capitalist power it’s bulo, zoosumіlo, not an argument. In Afghanistan, Radianski Vіyska and Vіyskovі Radniki Mali will be right with the "Mujahideen", in the main lightweight firearms, minomers and grenade launchers. In Angola, the radians of the military service did not hit the UN only with the UN guerrilla corrals, but with the regular army of the PAR, with the shelling of the distant artillery, the bombs of the Mirage, the culture of the conventions.
The first Cubans, the Radians' people, and the people of Angola, fought in an uneasy battle against such a serious and reliable enemy, who were remembered. They remembered both the living and the dead.

Glory to the international warriors, with honor they have visoned their international relations in the Republic of Angola and we will be remembered there for a long time.

Little to say about it, ale in rocky cold viyni The SRSR has shown its interests not only in the lands of the social bloc, but in distant Africa. Our victories took part in the African conflicts, the largest of them in Angola.

Nevidoma viyna

About those who fought in Africa for the last hour, it was not accepted to speak of those who fought in Africa. Moreover, 99% of the citizens of the SRCR did not know about those in distant Angola, Mozambique, Libya, Ephiopia, Pivnichniy and Pivdenniy Ameni, Syria and Ugipting Buv Radyansky Vent. Svychay, they were sensitive, even before them, not confirmed by the official information from the sides of the newspaper "Pravda", streamers were put, like to bikes and dwellings.
Tim in an hour, only on the line of the 10th Head Directorate of the General Staff of the ZS SRSR from 1975 to 1991, 10,985 generals, officers, ensigns and rank and file passed through Angola. In the Ethiopia, during the same hour, 11 143 Radianski Vіyskovosluzhbovtsіv were created. As long as there is a radiant presence in Mozambique, then we can talk more about 30 thousand Radianski vіyskovі fahіvtsіv and ordinary warehouse on the African land.

However, unimportant on such a scale, the soldiers and the officers, who vikonuvali their "international communication", were really unremarkable, they were not given orders and medals, the Radianska press did not write about these exploits. Oh nibi not for official statistics. In the tickets of the participants of the African warriors, as a rule, there were not any records about the release to the African continent, but simply by standing an unappreciable stamp with the number of the part, behind which the 10th department of the General Staff of the SRCR was hoping. Oleksandr Polivinil, having written the hour of battles for the place of Kuyto-Kuanavale

"Cudi us, my friend, it was with you,
Singingly, great and I need a right?
And it seems to us: “You couldn't be there,
And with the blood of Russian Angola, the earth is not chervonila "

first soldiers

Immediately after the fall of the dictatorship in Portugal, on the 11th of the leaves, 1975, since Angola rejected independence for the future, in the whole African land, there were the first ones who were sent to the special forces. Fifteen rockies fought against colonial warriors, the rebels could come to power, but all one needed to fight for power. Bilya Kerma of Angola has emerged a coalition of three nationally-vis-à-vis-à-vis-à-vis: the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the National Union for the Independence of Angola (UNITA) and the National Front of Angola. The Radiansky Union of Virishiv Pidtrimuvati MPLA. With the entry of the Portuguese, Angola has become a reference arena for a lot of geopolitical interests. UNITA, FNLA and PAR, which, in their turn, were adopted by the United States and the United States, were against the MPLA, such as Cuba and the CPSR.

For scho you fought?

Why did the SRSR come home, if it sent its "African special forces" to distant lands, to distant Africa? Tsіlі bouly, pershu cherga, geopolitical. Angola backed the Radiansky Kerіvnistvu as an outpost of socialism in Africa, won’t have become our first enclave in Pіvdennіy Afritsі and could have defended economically the hard-hitting PAr, like, like, apparently, they were pushing the USA.

At the rock of Cold War, our country could not afford to engage in Angola, it needed all the strength to help the new country’s culture, to build the country with the standard African socialist state, to be organized in its local political allies. Among the plans of trade goods, Angola was of little interest to the SRSR, the sphere of export in the regions of the boule was similar: lis, naphtha and diamonds. Tse bula v_yna for political injection.

Fidel Castro laconically said to her hour about the significance of radio support: "Angola did not have any prospects without the political and material and technical support of the SRSR."

Chim and what were you fighting for?

Right from the ear of the USSR's participation in the African conflict, carte blanche was given to conduct combat operations. About the price of the message from the General Staff of the telegram, in which it was introduced, the right to take part in the fighting on the side of the MPLA and the Cuban military.

Krym "lively strength", which was stored from military officers, officers, ensigns, rank and file, sailors and combat sailors (SRSR went to the coast of Angola and a few of their special ships).

However, as Sergiy Kolomnin, a member of this war, zbroi all one was lacking. However, it didn’t start on the other side. Naybіlshe bulo, slyly, Kalashnikov's automatons, both radianskiy and foreign (Romanian, Chinese and Yugoslavian) zbіrki. Also, the Portuguese gwintry Zh-3, which has been lost from the colonial hours, has also been booted. The principle of "what is possible, what is possible" manifested itself in the supply to Angola, which was lost during the Great Patriotic War, even though PPD, PPSh and Degtyarov's kulemets were old at that hour.

The form of the Radianskih Vyskovichs in Angola was unmarked, the first hour was taken to draw in the Cuban uniform, so called "Verde Olivos". Vona Bula is no less a factor in the minds of a hot African climate, ale vіyskovі, as a rule, you don’t choose your wardrobe. To the Radians' warriors, I brought myself to the army's keenness, to replace them, I will change the shape of the Kravts. Introduce changes to the ammunition at the official level, to add signs and changes to the material, once Lieutenant General Petrovsky has conceived, altogether the suggestions will create a command to the bathhouse. On the Angolan fronts, people were dying, engaging in such minds with their nourishment, and they made them look light-hearted.

change to the course

Angola, like Levan itself, and the other African lands were missed. The infection can be talked about. If the CPCP has been expanded and the political course has changed in the country, then our military contingent will be deployed from Africa. Holy mіsce, yak vіdomo, not empty. The President of Angola, Dusu Santosh (who, before the speech, ended the Baku University and friendships in Russia) brought new allies to shukati. And, not surprisingly, the United States has appeared with them.

The Americans immediately reprimanded UNITA and switched to additional assistance to the MPLA. For the year in Angola, American naphtha companies are shipping, Angolan naphtha is shipped to China, and I am interested in Angola and Brazil. At the same time, Angola itself is considered to be one of the most common lands in the world with a life of 60 vids, the sleepers of the epidemic VIL and total unprotected people.

Radyanska Africa has come to terms with an undeveloped world, and there are hundreds of people who have nailed this "international connection", and there is no way to turn back.
