See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4NdqeV0o4U The Rhodesian Bush War (1965-1980) pitted outnumbered Rhodesian forces against ZANLA/ZIPRA insurgents amid UDI sanctions, using innovative Fireforce tactics and air power with Hunters, Canberras, and Lynx in strikes like Operation Dingo (1976 camp destruction) and Uric (1979 base assaults). Tenacious defense delayed rebels until Lancaster House Agreement enabled Zimbabwe independence.
