Such a fucked war. I don’t think we’ll ever know how many Russians were really lost to the sands of Afghanistan.
Man I wish I had a film to watch this take place I bet it was intense
Same thing happened when they rolled into Chechnya
“Your place is warm, but the streets are waiting
for our footprints” 😔
Well, I find it interesting that not one of them is “Aming” their weapon…
This is from a movie
So I have been curious about the afghan war. I did a cursory lookup on it on Wikipedia, but how was that war different than the Ukraine war? I mean the USSR effectively lost. How is the current conflict any different for Russia?
Two books that are interesting tactical history of the conflict:
Afghan Guerrilla Warfare (mujahideen perspective)
The Bear Went Over the Mountain (Soviet perspective)
