Operation Restore (Template:Langx) was a military operation that the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) conducted against the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and its militant wing, the Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FALA). FAA carried out Operation Restore in late 1999 during the Angolan Civil War.[1][2][3] Air support for the operation was provided by FAA Embraer EMB 312 Tucanos.[4] Per UNITA, the Tucanos were allegedly crewed by Brazilian pilots contracted by the Angolan government.[5] UNITA subsequently declared "that anything within the Angolan national territory, identified as Brazil's interest, is... considered a target and will not be spared" from their attacks.[5]
The FAA captured Andulo and Bailundo. By December, Chief of Staff General João de Matos said the FAA had destroyed 80% of FALA’s manpower and captured 15,000 tons of military equipment.[1]
