in 1964, Egyptian pilots and technicians in Shaba in 1977, and Zimbabwean and Angolan aircraft in the Second Congo War, whose death toll is contested between the International Rescue Committee&rsquo;s estimate of 5.4 million and the Human Security Report Project&rsquo;s about 860,000. In the war against the M23, a UN Group of Experts reported at least 6,000 Rwandan soldiers in Congo and Rwandan drones and air defence missiles supporting the M23; Rwanda denies supporting it, and each claim is given with the side that makes it. No reliable public count was found of the Congolese aircraft lost or seized at Goma and Kavumu in 2025, and none is given. Where a consolidated sortie or loss figure exists in the official record it is given here; where accounts disagree, the range is shown and the disagreement named.

The Aviation militaire katangaise inherited colonial aircraft &mdash; five Doves, eight T-6s, a Heron, an Alouette II, a Piper and a Sikorsky H-19 &mdash; and added at least six Dornier Do 28s and three of nine Fouga Magisters bought from France, delivered by Seven Seas Airlines. It was commanded in turn by the Belgian Victor Volant, the Katangese pilot Jean-Marie Ngosa with a Belgian adviser, the South African Jerry Puren and, from early 1962, the Polish veteran Jan Zumbach, and it raided UN troops and positions on several occasions. Both Wikipedia articles on the Congolese service say it was created in mid-1961 largely to oppose this force. The secretary-general Dag Hammarskj&#246;ld died when his aircraft crashed on 18 September 1961 on the way to talks with Tshombe; the cause has never been definitively established. By 15 January 1963 the UN controlled Katanga, the Katangese aircraft were mostly destroyed or abandoned, and the survivors went to the Congolese air force.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cwar\">Outcome<\/span> The UN had full control of Katanga by 15 January 1963; surviving Katangese aircraft were integrated into the Congolese air force.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ccav\">The Congolese air force&rsquo;s own part in the fighting is not documented in the sources checked. Claims that Katangese pilots shot down Hammarskj&#246;ld&rsquo;s aircraft are unconfirmed and are not adopted here.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<dl class=\"cdl\">\n<dt>Flying for<\/dt>\n<dd>Congolese air force (from mid-1961)<\/dd>\n<dt>Where<\/dt>\n<dd>Katanga<\/dd>\n<dt>Alongside<\/dt>\n<dd>United Nations (ONUC)<\/dd>\n<dt>Against<\/dt>\n<dd>State of Katanga<\/dd>\n<dt>Aircraft<\/dt>\n<dd><\/dd>\n<dt>Losses<\/dt>\n<dd><span class=\"cwho\">No Congolese air force losses were found in the sources checked.<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt>Sources<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Katangese_Air_Force\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a> &middot; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Air_Force_of_the_Democratic_Republic_of_the_Congo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a> &middot; <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Force_a%C3%A9rienne_de_la_r%C3%A9publique_d%C3%A9mocratique_du_Congo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikip&#233;dia<\/a><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"crow\" data-more=\"cd1\" data-x=\"Eastern and north-eastern Congo, Stanleyville Congolese air force, with CIA-supplied aircraft and foreign pilots Alongside United States and Belgium B-26K Counter-Invader armed trainers\">\n<td>The Simba rebellion<span class=\"cwho\">including Operation Dragon Rouge<\/span><span class=\"cserv\">Congolese air force, with CIA-supplied aircraft and foreign pilots<\/span><\/td>\n<td>1964&ndash;1965<\/td>\n<td>Simba rebels<\/td>\n<td>B-26K Counter-Invader, armed trainers<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><button class=\"cbx\" type=\"button\" data-more=\"cd1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"cd1\">Detail<\/button><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"cdet\" id=\"cd1\">\n<td colspan=\"7\">\n<div class=\"cdin\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"crole\">Ground attack against the Simba rebels by aircraft supplied by the United States and flown largely by Cuban exiles and mercenaries; Belgian paratroopers were dropped from US aircraft to free hostages.<\/p>\n<p>The Simba rebellion of 1964 overran much of eastern Congo and put the government&rsquo;s survival in doubt. The response was an air arm that was Congolese in name and American in substance. The US State Department&rsquo;s documentary history records covert programmes that provided paramilitary and air support to the Congolese government. About 200 Cuban exiles recruited by the CIA fought on the ground and flew for the Congolese air force; CIA-contracted pilots, some of them veterans of the Bay of Pigs, flew B-26K Counter-Invaders delivered from Hurlburt Field in 1964; and Jerry Puren led a group of mercenary pilots flying armed Second World War trainers. The CIA front company Anstalt WIGMO kept the fleet serviceable from 1964 to 1968. On 24 November 1964, in Operation Dragon Rouge, five US Air Force C-130s dropped 350 Belgian paratroopers on Stanleyville&rsquo;s airport; over the next two days more than 1,800 Americans and Europeans and about 400 Congolese were evacuated, though Wikipedia records that almost 200 foreigners and thousands of Congolese were killed by the Simbas.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cwar\">Outcome<\/span> The rebellion was defeated by 1965; the hostages at Stanleyville were largely freed in November 1964.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ccav\">Aircraft numbers, sorties and losses were not found.

The Zairian army was disorganised and the air force&rsquo;s contribution was limited: French-supplied Mirages bombed places such as Kisengi, which Zaire identified as the rebel headquarters, and Egypt sent about 50 pilots and technicians to help operate them. The decisive move came from outside: on 9 April Morocco airlifted 1,300&ndash;1,500 paratroopers in eleven French Transall C-160s. By late May the FNLC had been expelled, and Kapanga was declared retaken on 26 May.

Mobutu&rsquo;s air force, worn down by a decade of corruption and lack of funds, had few flyable aircraft. The government hired Serbian mercenaries, who brought some aircraft of their own, but English Wikipedia judges that they had little effect; Rwanda&rsquo;s Paul Kagame later cited their use at Walikale as evidence that Mobutu intended real war against Rwanda.

Kabila survived because his allies came with air power: according to Wikipedia, Air Force of Zimbabwe Hawks and Hunters struck rebel and Rwandan offensives around Mbuji-Mayi, and Angolan aircraft flew Zimbabwean tanks and armoured vehicles into Kinshasa. The Congolese air force itself was rebuilt during the war; defenceWeb dates the first ten Su-25s to 1999, and MiG-23s and Mi-24s joined the inventory. The war&rsquo;s death toll is contested: the International Rescue Committee estimated 5.4 million deaths in 2008, mostly from disease and malnutrition, while the Human Security Report Project argued for about 860,000 excess deaths.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cwar\">Outcome<\/span> The Lusaka ceasefire (July 1999), the Sun City and Pretoria agreements (2002) and the Global and All-Inclusive Agreement of 17 December 2002 led to the formal end of the war on 18 July 2003.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ccav\">Congolese air force operations are poorly documented in public sources; the arrival dates of the MiG-23s and Mi-24s were not confirmed.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<dl class=\"cdl\">\n<dt>Flying for<\/dt>\n<dd>Air Force of the Democratic Republic of the Congo<\/dd>\n<dt>Where<\/dt>\n<dd>Across the DRC<\/dd>\n<dt>Alongside<\/dt>\n<dd>Zimbabwe, Angola and Namibia<\/dd>\n<dt>Against<\/dt>\n<dd>Rwanda, Uganda, RCD and MLC<\/dd>\n<dt>Aircraft<\/dt>\n<dd><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/su-25-frogfoot\/\">Su-25<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/mig-23-flogger\/\">MiG-23<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/mi-24-hind\/\">Mi-24<\/a><\/dd>\n<dt>Losses<\/dt>\n<dd><span class=\"cwho\">Congolese air force losses were not found.

Two Su-25s were deployed to Goma in November 2022; on 7 November Rwanda said one had violated its airspace and touched down briefly, and Kinshasa said it had entered Rwandan airspace &quot;unfortunately&quot; and without intent. On 24 January 2023 Rwanda fired on another Su-25 after saying it had violated its airspace, and Wikipedia reports that the aircraft was damaged. The government then ordered nine Chinese CH-4 armed drones, of which ADF reported six delivered by May 2024. Human Rights Watch found that the Rwandan military and the M23 made at least five apparently unlawful attacks on populated areas near Goma in 2024, and that Congolese forces also put civilians at risk. In January 2025 the M23 took Goma; its airport fell on 28 January with more than 1,200 soldiers surrendering, and about 280 Romanian contractors were allowed to leave via Rwanda. The UN Group of Experts reported at least 6,000 Rwandan troops in Congo and Rwandan TB2 drones and air defence missiles; Rwanda denies supporting the M23. In 2026 the AFC\/M23 claimed drone attacks on Kisangani airport, saying it ended the army&rsquo;s &quot;air superiority&quot;; local authorities said the drones were shot down.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cwar\">Outcome<\/span> Continuing. The M23\/AFC took Goma airport on 28 January 2025 and Kavumu on 14 February 2025; a US-mediated DRC&ndash;Rwanda agreement was signed on 27 June 2025 and a Doha declaration with the M23 followed in July.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ccav\">Casualty figures in this war are contested; the UN reported nearly 3,000 dead in the Goma offensive.
