I saved a few so thanks for those.

If anyone wants to read some fucking great collections of battle reports from actual commanders in the Soviet-Afghan war, read "the bear went over the mountain" and "the other side of the mountain". the PDFs for both are easily available with a google search.

Here's some films on the conflict

Probably my favorite:

>>34416238
forget your ridiculous 2017's western assumptions about this stuff. your viewing is based on stupid us-american prudery. you desperately avoid anything that you think could make you look gay. you never understood that standing around in underpants is not automatically something sexual. same goes for touching another guy.
those guys would probably think you are a faggot with your shaved balls, chest and armpits.

The Soviets added groove to AK buttstock to provide easy visual/feel indicator for 5.45-mm caliber rifles. BTW: This rule does not seem to apply to rifles made for civilian market.

Which they just accidentally introduced with AK-74 and have not used since with 7.62 x 39 caliber rifles made for military use after that?

Still that's a very fucking finite source of ammunition. The Muj were already receiving various combloc arms from China and the Gulf States, why the fuck would they need M16s?

there was more hidden homosexuality during the soviet era then after. there has been a big push by the Orthodox church since the fall of the soviet union.

Then this is a clip from "Afghan: The Soviet Experience," which I'm sure you can find online for free.

And here's another one. I'm sure you could find a ton more online, though.

Other than the obvious MGS:V, are there any games set during/in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan?

>>34426308
there was a 9th Company movie tie-in
it was a tactical strategy game published by 1C
I have a Collectors Edition

>>34426808
I don't like strategy games much 1C is a great developer though, IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 is probably my favorite game of theirs

>>34426846
it's kinda similar to Men of War, it has a terrible flaw tho:
It only has SP Campain(no MP, no skirmish mode)
11 or so missions and that's it

You'd think Russian Special operations would be allowed to use whatever weapons they want to use.
