This is the uniform jacket used on Operation Forte 1985. 32 Battalion would be attached to UNITA as 154 Battalion and would be equipped with sterile uniforms and armed with communist weapons.2CF40DD4-D85D-406E-9BBE-9DC34E53FB51.jpeg.0614eddd7331a7ad9eb259816847a71d.jpeg

What a cool and unique piece! Is it  S.A made or unknown origin? Cut recalls nutria one, UNITA style buttons  and round pocket flaps apart.
