The Soviet War in Afghanistan | Overview, Causes & Timeline | Spetsnaz - AMP

This documentary was produced for educational purposes and may contain comments that may offend the sensibilities of certain people. If you are a sensitive person, viewing this documentary is not recommended.
Forty years ago, the invasion of Afghanistan by Soviet troops marked the start of 10 years of a dirty war, full of suffering and destruction in a particular international context.
Using exclusive archives from the Afghan guerrillas and the testimony of the former commander-in-chief of the Soviet expeditionary force, this film retraces ten years of world history through the prism of Afghanistan.
And brings to life the trauma of this conflict from the inside, as close as possible to those who experienced it. A dive into the heart of a tragedy that shaped the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of communism and the emergence of the t€rr0ri$t€ nebula that still threatens the planet. Through this story, this film is also a geopolitical vision of the world, from the Cold War to the international t€rr0ri$m€.

Good documentary. The quality of some of the footage in this documentary is brilliant. The Americans weren’t happy with the USSR supplying arms to the Viet Cong. So supported the Mujahideen. US press (The “Independent”) even branded Bin L4den an anti-Soviet Warrior. 30:54 “If the mujahideen aimed your weapons a bit better, nobody would see your film” 😂 Fascinating seeing how women looked/dressed in Afghanistan before the religious fundamentalists came to power. It’s sad to see what has become of Afghanistan and the former republics of the USSR.

[@Vivianissime]

J'avais conçu un projet fou, ambitieux et réaliste à la fois : aller dans le Wakhan faire la 1ère ascension de la grande face N de l'Uparisina. Pour ça, il fallait être 4, en deux voitures pour le transport du matériel, pour nous autres jeunes alpinistes de haut niveau qui n'aurions jamais les moyens d'aller au Népal nous frotter à un 8000. Le pays était magnifique, pauvre mais heureux, les gens merveilleux, c'est ce que m'avait dit à son retour la plus belle et la plus adorable de mes amies. C'était en 1974 et le temps d'essayer de convaincre 3 copains tentés par l'aventure le projet s'écroulait : Les Russes avaient fomenté un coup d'état et le pays était devenu une prison. C'est une équipe tchèque qui a fait l'Uparisina en 1979, avant la guerre. C'est comme ça que j'avais appris beaucoup de choses sur l'Afghanistan, du temps que le pays était fréquentable. C'était par le couloir du Wakhan que passait la Route de la Soie, qui venait de Chine et qui était empruntée depuis toujours par des caravanes. Les Han n'avaient jamais pu contrôler la Bactriane (ancien nom de la région) pas plus que les Perses, Gengis Khan - qui était un sage - ne s'y était pas aventuré, les Anglais y avaient perdu toute une armée en ne contrôlant à grand peine que quelques postes sur la route du Khiber, et les Russes louchaient sur le pays, comme sur l'Ethiopie, depuis l'époque impériale, mais se bornaient à faire du commerce. Les Afghans sont comme les Basques et la plupart des populations de montagne : ils sont libres et ceux qui tentèrent de les soumettre, au fil de l'Histoire, furent toujours vaincus. C'est un caractère comme ça qui me plait, moi qui ai toujours été rebelle. - Vous devinerez aisément que j'avais une immense estime pour Ahmad Massoud, et le Gal Gromov le dit clairement : Massoud était un ennemi loyal qui tenait sa parole, qui suscitait des ralliements chez les soldats soviétiques capturés, et qui libérait les autres parce que sa vallée n'avait pas les moyens de les nourrir et qu'il s'en était fait des amis. Cet aspect de la guerre n'est pas abordé dans ce documentaire alors qu'il est fondamental tant il a miné le moral déjà chancelant des soldats soviétiques. Le documentaire effleure à peine la gigantesque imbécillité des Américains, qui firent parvenir l'aide militaire à Ekmattiar et son parti hesbe islami, qui ne combattait pas, alors que Massoud n'eut absolument rien. Après le départ des Russes, Ekmattiar utilisa l'armement américain pour combattre Massoud et le chasser de Kaboul, Benladen n'arriva qu'après, une fois les talibans au pouvoir. Et Massoud l'indomptable replongea dans la Résistance, jusqu'à son assassinat à la veille du 11-septembre. - Pour en savoir plus : Massoud l'Afghan par Christophe de Ponfilly. Ed Folio.

Comparing the Deaths in Vietnam for the US (58,220) and the Deaths in Afghanistan for the Soviets (15,000).. A lot of media seem to portray the Soviet-Afghanistan War as directly similar to the Vietnam War. But, from what I’ve read about the war, the Soviet Union never had as many soldiers in Afghanistan as the United States did in Vietnam (at their respective peaks the Soviet Union had 115,000 soldiers while the United States had 549,500), the soldiers sent to fight in Afghanistan came primarily from the Soviet Union’s Central Asian republics, the Soviet Union suffered fewer casualties compared to the United States in Vietnam.

[@killer3000ad]

Another big difference is that the US was fighting against the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army. The VC were waging and insurgency in the south while the NVA mounted conventional operations. Because the US wanted to avoid appearing as an imperialist, it refrained from invading North Vietnam and similarly avoided crossing over into Laos and Cambodia where the Ho Chi Minh trail operated. The US was effectively fighting without being allowed to win as the NVA and VC could safely rearm and replenish their losses in North Vietnam or via the Ho Chi Minh trail. The US dropped tonnes of bombs on the north and on the trail without being able to knock out either.

[@user-pt4fl3xw8z]

@@killer3000adUSA had Allie’s like South Vietnam, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and the Philippines.

@@sergevandyck Oui pour le bourbier et l'erreur stratégique, mais le retrait était un peu plus élégant que la débandade des USA au Viet Nam. C'était cela l'objectif. De plus a long terme cette "retirada" fut profitable, laissant les USA prendre le relai pour se retrouver dans un bourbier bien supérieur, qui s'est achevé il y a peu, avec les conséquences (11 septembre) que l'on connait. Mais cette intervention compliquée par les USA qui ont financé les Talibans, a coûté cher, y compris financièrement, et n'est pas pour rien dans la chute de l'URSS. Cela est une leçon; quant on s'engage dans un conflit, il faut envisager les perspectives à long terme (je pense à Macron et à ses déclarations guerrières)

[@smddsi]

Always the same fake history. Lets read Brzezinski's interview january 1998: Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention. Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it? B: It isn't quite that. We didn't push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would." So Soviet Union came on the demand of the Afghan government!"It should be also noted that Afghan regime resisted till 1993, 2 years after the fall of soviet union (the indication of a wide popular support) but that they could not resist more due to the huge support by United States to djihadists? So it is not only Soviet Union which lost something but also the Afghan governement and his laws in favor of women rights. On the other hand Ben Laden's support retruned to USA on et 11/09. How intelligent was this policy.

@@scottkrater2131 they werent gonna stay forever.but in comparison to the soviets that left a regime that stood for a few years, compared to the US fed republic which folded in a few weeks

@@MAKMAUG So did the government of South Vietnam, so what? They were both short lived and overthrown.

[@MAKMAUG]

the soviet departure wasnt as humiliating as the US one in vietnam or in 2021 Afghanistan(and they did it twice in practically the same situation)

[@scottkrater2131]

@@MAKMAUG you're right, it was more humiliating. So much so they had to ask the US to stop the Mujahideen from attacking them. Neither US withdrawal was humiliating. North Vietnam gave the US what they wanted and the last troops left orderly in 1973. Only a handful of US troops were left in Afghanistan, they'd been withdrawn already. And remind me, where's the Soviet Union now?

Dans la continuité si la plus grande déroute de l'URSS est l'Afghanistan alors la plus grande de la russie est en Ukraine 😅 ! Vraiment mauvais dans la guerre moderne les russes 😮

MDR, seulement pour la Diaspora soviétiques, le KGB, les commissaires politiques, qui se retrouvaient, pour les premiers, privés des privilèges, et les autres au chômages, et la liberté pour les citoyens, et un soulagement pour l'occident, de la peur d'un conflit nucléaire, explique moi en quoi cela aurait t'il pu être une tragédie pour le reste du monde ?, au contraire, et la majeur partie s'en tamponnent à commencer par moi,.😂😂😂😂😂

Combien de fois une troupes peut nombreuse et moin équiper on gagner et on eu la victoire ? ALLAH❤

Mensonge, mensonge et mensonge, après huit années de guerre en Afghanistan, l'armée soviétique s'est volontairement retirée de l'Afghanistan avec l'accord du président de ce pays qui avait autorisé cette intervention .

[@NicolasTheondine]

Hahaha, le 24 décembre les Russes envahissent l'Afghanistan et le 27 au matin liquident Hafizullah Amin, président du conseil, et une partie de son gouvernement.

Not just the Soviets In fact, the West and NATO have become like chickens. I remind you. In fact, the Spanish division was killed, in fact, the entire division, haha, and some of the officers fled. Ha, ha, NATO is a joke. The Americans forgot about their biggest nightmare, Vietnam. You have been urinated on, remember well
