The next day, tactics were changed, with the pilots deciding to attack from altitudes as low as 60 m, releasing all of their weapons in a single pass.

Even though the exposure to return fire was reduced, several aircraft were damaged by the explosions of bombs and rockets.

On 3 July, a Skyraider received a hit in its engine, and its pilot was forced to land on an abandoned airstrip near Zouar.

The next day, a rescue operation was organised, with a C-54 being deployed to Faya-Largeau to support one Skyraider and one French Army Light Aviation SA 330 Puma helicopter.

However, a few minutes after taking off from Faya-Largeau, the C-54 was hit by two SA-7s, and its pilot performed an emergency landing while two of the aircraft's engines were on fire.

The ENT went back into action on 16 April during the FROLINAT's offensive on Salal, together with French Air Force aircraft.

[13] The high-profile acquisition of this period was a batch of six Sukhoi Su-25s (four single-seat and two twin-seat aircraft), delivered from Ukraine between 2008 and 2010.

[10] Several aircraft and helicopters were damaged in a storm on 1 July 2017 that struck the air force's main base at N'Djamena International Airport.
