Operation Restore is a highly successful military operation that the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) conducted against UNITA rebels in Autumn 1999 during the civil war. Air support for the operation was provided by FAA Embraer EMB 312 Tucanos. Per UNITA, the Tucanos were allegedly crewed by Brazilian pilots contracted by the Angolan government. The FAA captured Andulo and Bailundo. By December, Chief of Staff General João de Matos said the FAA had destroyed 80% of UNITA's militant wing and captured 15,000 tons of military equipment.
