When Bullets Could Not Harm Us - Angolan Bush War. Story Of Enemy Raids And Counter Insurgency

In this video, we take a look at the 1 special service battalion, who were sent into the Angolan bush war during the 1970's and 1980's. This unit was made up of conscripts, who were able to fight against the insurgency as well as play often a more conventional role against Russian, Cuban and Angolan forces always with a belief that bullets would not harm them. We explore the history of the 1 special service battalion and their role in the Angolan bush war, as well as the conscripts who made it possible. This battalion was a key player in many of the cross border raids into Angola.
