Part of India's reconquest of territory from Eurpoeans.
The information from this incident comes from several different sources, namely the Osprey book on Modern African Wars Angola and Mozambique.
As noted with other actions in the era, the equipment of both armies is rather unique.
India had begun to acquire some new weapons in tanks, but for the most part, their forces would be little different from their father's or uncle's appearence 20 years earlier.
