The Uruguayan Air Force in combat and peacekeeping
Uruguay’s air force has fought no foreign war. English Wikipedia records the only combat use of its aircraft in the revolution of 1935, a single-source claim whose details were not confirmed and are not given here. Since then it has flown for the United Nations: in Haiti, where a C-212 crashed on 9 October 2009 killing six Uruguayans and five Jordanians, and in the DR Congo, with Bell 212s since 2010. 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. Blank cells are blank because no figure could be verified, not because the fighting was small.
From Tiger Moths in the 1935 revolution to UN helicopters in the Congo.

English Wikipedia says Tiger Moths saw their first combat use in the 1935 revolution. The only combat use of Uruguayan military aircraft recorded in the sources checked came in 1935, the year the flying school became the Aeronáutica Militar. English Wikipedia lists the Tiger Moth as seeing combat in the revolution of that year. No details of missions, dates or losses were found in an accessible source. 結果 The uprising was put down. Single-source claim; details UNVERIFIED and omitted.

Bell 212 utility helicopters supporting the UN mission. Zona Militar reported in July 2023 that FAU Bell 212s had served with MONUSCO since 2010 and described the unit as the only helicopter squadron in the mission able to fly at night. The United States has supported it under its Global Peace Operations Initiative, donating Bell 212s in 2021 and 2023, the second valued at about USD 2.76 million. 結果 Continuing at the time of the July 2023 report. The night-flying claim is Zona Militar’s; whether the detachment remains deployed in 2026 was not confirmed.
