Angola’s armed forces used Pilatus PC-7s against UNITA during the civil war. Reports from 1993 and 1994 also described armed attacks on civilians; some of these reports concerned the late 1980s.

Effect of the proposed War Materiel Act revision

In Switzerland, special military goods (unlike in most other countries) are not subject to the War Materiel Act, but to the much weaker Goods Control Act.
