In May 1998, armed forces of Eritrea entered the disputed region of Badme, then under the control of Ethiopia. Surprised Ethiopians needed some time to organize their defense . The first phase of the war lasted until midJune 1998. Both sides used aircraft types available before the war. MiG21 and MG23BN by Ethiopia and Aermacchi MB339 by Eritrea. When fighting restarted in February 1999, both sides had far more advanced aircraft in their arsenal. Ethiopia purchased Su27 and Eritrea MiG29. These two types would eventually meet each other in combat.
This is part 1 of the video covering the so called Badme War between Ethiopia and Eritrea using DCS World as the reenactment platform.
