Two Su-22M jets of the Peruvian Air Force crashed while on a mission during an armed border conflict with Ecuador, also known as the Cenepa War.
Ecuador claimed to have shot down both aircraft using a Mirage F1. Peru, however, denied this, stating that one was struck by Ecuadorian anti-aircraft artillery during a low flying ground-attack mission, and the second because of an engine fire. Both pilots ejected but did not survive.
