Comment: Fascinating story... I wonder what the reason for this purchase was. Didn't Armscor manufacture rockets and rocket launchers? They were getting whacked in Angola, care of the Cubans and their soviet-made Stalins organs. If these were the weapons they were buying, 160 rockets aren't that much, as the launcher carried about 30 or 40 in one load. Maybe to drive a wedge between the Angolan allies? A small attack on mpla using Soviet weapons would look like it was a Cuban attack...

Anyway, enjoying these worms creeping out of the apartheid woodwork. Never mind the whiners and their complaints. History being swept under the carpet is precisely why we are in our present position. Learn from the past or be damned...
