First and second raids on Ouadi-Doum : 
16th February 1986-First raid on Ouadi Doum :
In 1986, while Libya, already in place in northern Chad, progress towards the south held by the Chadian government allied to France. A first raid on the Libyan airbase of Ouadi Doum, located in northern Chad is prepared. Jaguars and Mirage F-1Cs based in Bangui destroy the runway of Ouadi Doum in a quick attack. 

In retaliation, the next day General Kadhafi, president of Libya sends a Tupolev TU-22 to bomb the base of N'Djamena from the base of Aouzou in the extreme north of Chad. The runway is damaged but repaired within a few hours. 
The Tupolev TU-22 suffering from technical problems during his return, was lost before joining the base of Aouzou. 
6 & 7 Janvier 1987-Second raid on Ouadi Doum :
As the Chadian forces regain ground in the south of the country, Libya hardened its strikes. A second raid against the radar installations of Ouadi Doum is prepared. 

On January 6, four Jaguars from EC 3/3 escorted by Mirage F-1s took off from the N'Djamena base to destroy the radar on Ouadi Doum, but with no echo, they returned to the base. 

On January 7, a second attempt was made, a Atlantic from French navy turned to activate the radars, after a while the trap was running and the Jaguars took off to Ouadi Doum still escorted by Mirage F- 1s. 
Two Mirage F-1CRs serve as bait to trigger the alert, Jaguars arriving at low altitude, catch the echo of the "Flat-face" radar, The Jaguar A100 fires its missile Martel, it goes straight to the goal . The Jaguars and their escort return to the base. 

A Mig-23 is sent to intercept the Mirage F-1CRs, but as they go downhill at high speed, it can't catch them, so it abandoned the pursuit.
