I desideratum to know how the Soviet-Afghan war started and ended ad reasons why..Thanks!
The Soviet War in Afghanistan started when the Communist Administration of Afghanistan asked the Soviets for military assistance in dealing with the Mujahideen. The Soviets agreed, and the war started in 1979. The US, and other countries supplied the Mujahideen with weapons, notably the Stinger Anti-Air Missile, to fight against Afghan and Soviet Forces. As Soviet Helicopters became more vulnerable to the Stinger Missiles, the Soviets firm to use the MiG Fighter Jets more often and as a result, dropped anti personal mines on Mujahideen positions from a further distance. Also, the Soviets were not familiar to the Mountain fighting and narrow roads, which were prone for ambushes. After 10 years of fruitless fighting where undersized was accomplished, the Soviet Union decided to pull out in 1989. Almost 15,000 Soviets died in the War, while an estimated copy of one million Afghanis perished. The Soviet War in Afghanistan was one of the final events that led to the collapse of the USSR.

What is some interesting information about Soviet-Afghan War?
Jan 17, 2009 by Jedi | Posted in History
I found a lot of message about Soviet-Afghan War.... but i need only important info or facts!
So what might be some interesting info about Soviet-Afghan war??
What is more captivating than Carter's Advisor to the President on National Security Affairs Zbigniew Brzezinski's single statement on the Soviet-Afghan War is the character in the portrayal of this war in the two different films (Western and Russian) that came out:
'The Beast' (1988) - directed by Kevin Reynolds, about a frenzied Russian tank and its crew.
'The 9th Company (9 Rota) (2005 ) - directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk, about a enterprise being left behind, and is slaughtered, as the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan. The story was loosely based on the real event the 'Donnybrook for Hill 3234.' It was a box-office smash in Russia, and is similar to the American film 'Platoon.'
I have seen both, and both are usefulness watching. Unfortunately, I have not seen the 1990 film 'Afghan Breakdown,' so I cannot rate it, but given the chance I will await it.

Quagmire: The Afghan War Tragedy
During the next week, Prime Priest Key will have to decide whether or not to commit SAS troops to the interminable Afghan War. Is this counter-insurgency conflict winnable? No.
For the reason why, we scarcity to cycle back thirty years to the initial Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, back in 1979. This saw the emergence of conservative Islamist mujahedin insurgency, especially funded from Saudi Arabia and madrassas (conservative Muslim theological schools) in neighbouring Pakistan and India. To discourage Soviet geopolitical ambitions, the west also encouraged Pakistan’s ISI to keep the fires burning, until Soviet withdrawal in 1989 terminated the pompous mission.
However, it had also exacerbated existing internal nationalist and Sunni/Shia Islamist religious tensions, which led to Afghanistan’s effective collapse into a failed and fragmented state. The Taliban took Kabul in 1997, and four years later, Osama bin Laden employed it as an al-Qaeda base to attack the United States in 2001, at the cost of three thousand US lives when the World Marketing Centre was destroyed. The United States and allies promptly invaded Afghanistan, leading to a long-relative to inconclusive war. Bin Laden escaped to mountainous Northwestern Pakistan and is still there.
As for the ‘prowestern’ regime in Kabul, why is it that a r that was supposed to benefit human rights and civil liberties has just passed a so-called ‘Shia Family Regulations’ that legitimises spousal rape??!! Are these the human rights and civil liberties that our SAS men and women will be fighting to fight for?
I’m very much afraid that all we can do now is to lobby for an increase in western refugee and asylum quotas. Through western opportunism, the blow of Afghanistan is that their civil war and fragmentation may be irreversible. We owe it to those who want to flee the carnage to assist their passage, having created it in the first in the event. And especially, I would place no barriers in the way of Afghan women or LGBT community members wishing to escape that nightmare.
