Reseach Notes: Video features an Impala Mk II light attack aircraft (also known as the Aermacchi MB-326) of the South African Air Force. The footage is from the Angolan Bush War, specifically an air strike on a Soviet T-34 tank near an Angolan town. The aircraft is taking off from a dirt airstrip, and the event depicted is an air-to-ground attack during the conflict. The T-34 was a less common target for the Impala, as it was a relatively older tank design and less frequently encountered in the border war than more modern Soviet-supplied armoured vehicles.
