Zambia Air Force questions, 1970s

Greetings all

Couple of questions I’ve had on file for decades, perhaps some more info has emerged from former Yugoslavia and Soviet Union in recent years.

  1. Definitive number of Galebs and Jastrebs delivered? At least 11 are festering away at
    Mbala airport. Have the SOKO production lists ever emerged?
  2. Service entry date for the SA-3 ( S-125 ) batteries? Some time after 1979 as far as I can tell, ( as the Rhodesians didn’t report encountering them ) but prior to 1983.

Thank you!

Incidentally, a rather splendid view of an S-125 battery outside Lusaka here.
