The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale was fought intermittently between 14 August 1987 and 23 March 1988, south and east of the town of Cuito Cuanavale, Angola, by the People's Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) and advisors and soldiers from Cuba, USSR, Vietnam, ANC and SWAPO against South Africa, and soldiers of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) during the Angolan Civil War and South African Border War. The battle was the largest engagement of the Angolan conflict and the biggest conventional battle on the African continent since World War II. UNITA and its South African allies defeated a major FAPLA offensive towards Mavinga, preserving the former's control of southern Angola. They proceeded to launch a bloody but inconclusive counteroffensive on FAP

  • La bataille de Cuito-Cuanavale est une bataille de la guerre civile angolaise qui connut son point d'orgue du 12 au 20 janvier 1988. Elle opposa les soldats des armées angolaises et cubaines aux combattants de l'Union nationale pour l'indépendance totale de l'Angola (UNITA), soutenus par l'armée sud-africaine (SADF) intervenant pour sa part dans le cadre de la guerre sud-africaine de la frontière. Elle constitue la plus importante bataille engagée sur le continent africain depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle est un élément déclencheur du règlement de la situation politique en Angola et en Namibie (alors Sud-Ouest africain). (fr)

  • Die Schlacht von Cuito Cuanavale zu Beginn des Jahres 1988 war der Versuch einer gemischten Kampfgruppe aus Truppenteilen der angolanischen UNITA und Einheiten der südafrikanischen SADF, den kubano-angolanischen Vormarsch auf Südwestafrika (seit 1990 Namibia) und auf die verbleibenden Rückzugsgebiete der UNITA punktuell aufzuhalten. Trotz anfänglicher taktischer Teilerfolge der SADF/UNITA scheiterten die Operationen „Moduler“, „Hooper“ und „Packer“ in ihrer Gesamtheit, da der Vormarsch der FAPLA auf Mavinga und Jamba nicht gestoppt werden konnte. Der Vormarsch auf Calueque weiter westlich konnte durch Südafrika nicht aufgehalten werden; das strategische Ziel, Südafrika zu zu zwingen, war erreicht. (de)

  • Битва при Квито-Кванавале (порт. Batalha de Cuito Cuanavale) — решающее сражение в ходе Гражданской войны в Анголе и южноафриканской Пограничной войны. Это было столкновение между (People’s Armed Forces of Liberation of Angola, FAPLA), поддерживаемыми Республикой Куба, и Национальным союзом за полную независимость Анголы (UNITA), поддерживаемым со стороны ЮАР. Оно проходило вблизи важного военного аэродрома Квито-Кванавале и прилегающего к нему небольшого одноименного города. Сражение было организовано для того, чтобы заблокировать крупномасштабное нападение ФАПЛА на основные оперативные базы УНИТА в Джамбе и Мавинге.После ряда неудачных попыток захватить поселения в 1986 году, восемь бригад ФАПЛА приняли участие в операции «Приветствие октября» (Operação Saludando Octubre) в августе 1987 (ru)
