I hear this phenomenon is all over Tik Tok. I don't understand what a helicopter mounted 20mm has to do with women with large posteriors. Kids are so wacky these days!

Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique. Works very well until the PAIGC in GB receive from Soviet union, antiaircraft missiles.

The Portuguese government assisted the white minority government in Rhodesia, along with using some similar hardware prior to the Carnation Revolution of 1974. The Portuguese colonies of Mozambique and Angola border Zimbabwe, so when the right wing regime of the Estado Novo was overthrown, and independence granted to those colonies, Rhodesia was in serious trouble as the ZANLA rebels in particular had ties to Mozambique rebels, who took control.
