I made some notes for the 1977 Ogaden War with Somalia

########################

OBAT 063 - ETHIOPIA

New Units
25 x PT-76 in 1977-78
100 x BTR-40 in 1977-78
10 x ZSU-57-2 arrived 1977-78
35 x BMD-1 in 1977.
35 x ASU-57 in 1977.

Both the BMD-1s and ASU-57s were given to Cuban troops in Ethiopia, and used in a helicopter lifted (Mi-6) assault on Somalian troops in March 1978 where troops and the vehicles were airlifted into the enemy's rear; and then in conjunction with a conventional Cuban armored thrust, caught Somalian troops at Jijiga in a pincer movement.

Changes

Unit 011 T-62 has a start date of 1985
20 x T-62 were delivered in 1977 and another 50 in 1980.

OBAT 088 SOMALIA

New Units
4 x IL-28 in 1965-67
7 x IL-28 in 1973-75

All were destroyed in the war by 1978.
