steveorino 7 #77 July 14, 2009 I know when the war broke out, but a cursory view of Green Berets, CIA and and their involvement in the Afghan population will give you several articles that indicate much was going on behind the scenes, outside of what papers were reporting on, prior to 1979. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warpedskydiver 0 #79 July 14, 2009 I met a former Spetznaz SGT. He said the worst thing he encountered was Afghans trained by US SF detachments. He said they stood their ground and fought like devils. In one case they attacked a Russian armored column on horseback Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nelyubin 0 #80 July 14, 2009 The first units appeared in 1983. Trained in Pakistan. On their own land were not. Operated the traditional methods of guerrilla warfare (tactics was developed (the Russians) and works in the war against France, 1812). The sudden attack on the enemy. The destruction of communications. Manufacturing traps (currently landmine, landmines). Afghan troops are not trained practically. They were the refugees and dizertirov. They were armed. Trained to deal with new weapons. Special task training was required. They got her in the USSR (the Soviet instructors). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
