October 31, 1987 South Africa’s Angolan ally in the Border War – The National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, known by its Portuguese acronym UNITA, captured two Cubans after shooting down their MIG-23 jet over Angola’s eastern province of Moxico. Cuba, in an unprecedented public admission, confirmed the incident identifying the Cubans as Lt. Col. Manuel Rocas Garcia and Capt. Ramos Cazados.
