Mirage F1 vs MIG-21 - South African Border War, Angola 1981

In 1981, South African armed forces launched several offensive operations into Angola. Their objective was to push SWAPO units away from the border with South-West Africa (now Namibia), then under South African administration. Initially, Angolan Air Force flown mostly by Cuban pilots chose not to confront South African Air Force and their Mirage F1s. But during Operation Daisy in November 1981, two MiG-21s flown by two inexperienced Cuban lieutenants clashed with two South African pilots. Check out how it ended in this DCS World reenactment using the newest jet fighter module, Mirage F1.
