The Battle of Simba Hills, otherwise known as the Battle of Kakuuto, took place in February of 1979 as part of the larger Tanzanian counterattack on Ugandan forces occupying the Kagera Salient.

In prelude, Ugandan forces were ordered by Ugandan dictator Idi Amin to perform incursions into Tanzanian territory and seize the Kagera Salient. A state of war between Tanzania and Uganda was declared by Prime Minister Julius Nyerere on the 2nd of November 1978 and the TPDF was mobilised. The counter attack from TPDF forces made heavy use of MLRS systems like the Soviet BM-21 Grad and aerial bombing my MiG fighters, which sought to greatly demoralise the UPDF forces holding the Kagera Salient; with numerous units breaking from their positions and fleeing back into Ugandan territory.

By February 1979, following Idi Amin's refusal to withdraw his claims on the Kagera district, the Tanzanian 207th Infantry Brigade, commanded by Brigadier John Walden, had navigated the dense swampland around the Kagera river before launching an attack on Ugandan positions alongside the 201st Brigade and 208th Brigade TPDF.

13.02.1979 - Kakuuto District, Uganda - The Tanzanian 207th Infantry Brigade launches its attack towards the Simba hills with the objective of seizing the Lukoma Airfield.
