Operation Restore (Portuguese: Operaçao Restaurar) is a highly successful military operation that the Angolan government (with the help of the Brazilian Air Force) conducted against UNITA rebels in Autumn 1999 during the civil war.[3][4][5]
The government captured Andulo and Bailundo. By December, Chief of Staff General João de Matos said the Angolan Armed Forces had destroyed 80% of UNITA's militant wing and captured 15,000 tons of military equipment.[3]
