 At some point, the post-Imperial navy reportedly acquired two Soviet-made – perhaps Mil Mi-8 (NATO reporting name "Hip') or Mil Mi-14 (NATO reporting name "Haze") – helicopters.The navy also operated a coastal defense brigade equipped with two truck-mounted P-15 Termit (USDoD designation "SSC-3"; NATO reporting name "Styx") coastal defense antiship cruise missile launchers.Eritrean opposition to Eritreas inclusion in Ethiopia broke out in a full-scale rebellion after the Derg took power in 1974, and this left the Ethiopian Navy in the difficult position of having all of its bases deep in rebel territory and on the front line of the Eritrean War of Independence.
