The unit was disbanded when the Tigercat system was retired from service in the early 1990s. == History and deployment == Press reports from 1974 state that South Africa acquired Tigercat missile systems from Jordan. The amount totalled 54 batteries. Under South African control, they were renamed Hilda.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The South African Air Force )〕 The Hilda system was issued to the 250 Air Defence Artillery Group of the South African Air Force, which equipped its 121 and 123 Squadrons with them.
