Two Gazelle helicopters, apparently supplied by Paramount Group, have been observed to have joined the Mozambican Air Force as efforts to fight the Islamist insurgency in Cabo Delgado continue. It is understood that the Gazelles form part of a larger number of helicopter platforms provided by Paramount to the Mozambican government.
Gazelles with serials FA-085 (formerly XX445) and FA-083 (formerly ZB673) were seen at Nacala Airport in Mozambique in February this year, painted in green and brown camouflage the same as the Mozambican Air Force’s Mi-24/25/35 attack helicopters (the latter are apparently all withdrawn from use or in storage).
