Interesting. I just watched a pretty good documentary about the 1979-1989 Soviet occupation of Afghanistan the other day. It's pretty obvious that most of the Soviet troops had the wrong equipment, though the Hind helicopter was devastating. Once the muslim fighters had Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, it was over. I thought they would devastate the U.S. there much more than they have in the current disastrous U.S. occupation.
