In 1979, the Soviets had ill-suited uniforms and inferior fighting tactics, and found it impossible to defeat the popular Afghan guerrilla army. They had underestimated their enemy and lacked the forces to win.
I made the mistake of reading the comments.....again. it's amazing how many tactical geniuses and historians tune in to RUclips. These lumaix vids are appreciated
lol
After the British army getting some lands and defeating some battles against the Argentinians, The Argentinians surrender which gave a great victory to the British without gaining more casualties.
To be fair, it doesn't take much historical research or tactics knowledge to criticize some of the bias in these documentaries. They cover a 10-year period in 40 minutes, how could they cover everything about the conflict in that timeframe in anything but an entry-level way?
@@elsalvedorven5546 What does any of that has to do with the video?
You can tell this is a British documentary, not just from the narrators accent. When he spoke of the soviets left map's behind that showed where the mines were, he then put a little dig in by saying, unlike Argentina in the Falklands war;)
michael swords yep good reference there to the Falklands war hahaha
lol loved that part just a big f u to the Argentinians but actually highly respectable on the soviets parts def helped image
michael swords
michael swords Attacking neighbors Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, Chechnya, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, the Russians created around the RF LIVING Belt of Hate and Disdain. And every time after the attack, FALSE LIES FOR MANY YEARS. RUSSIA THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE EVIL, AND ITS RULERS ARE CRIMINALS.
science & technology I am from one of the countries you named and I am telling you: you're an idiot. you don't know who the real eveil is on this planet
Imagine watching this war happen and then 10 years latter sending American troops in to do the same exact thing.
Brings to mind the oxymoron 'military intelligence'
Exactly These people are undefeated.
1. They don't care about dying
2. Their at home
3. Go back to 1& 2
It's like me trying to do a home invasion in a 3 story mansion in pitch black darkenss. Not happening. This their life all day everyday PERIOD
they did more than just watch xD
@@mirriulahwaterdog 😂😂😂😂😂
Soviets were worst, unlike Americans who fought Al-Qaeda and supported Northern Alliance
man Afghans are people who have faced wars for thousands of years they do the job of defending there country very well
Thats one of the best documentaries ive ever watched! Bravo
3:35 Holy shit, it's the same realization as 30 years later.
Makes you wonder... Are we really that different than the Soviet Union was...
The US 🇺🇸 needs Nuremberg trials for our commanders...unacceptable no one is ever held accountable smh
Brilliant series!
Afghanistan the graveyard of empires
true
G'day,
Actuarily speaking, olde Chappie ; the word seems to be "Absurdistan(dstill)[yet]{again}"...; is that not so ?
Such is Loife....
Ha'e a guid one,
;-p
Ciao !
yes right..
As a matter of fact, Afghanistan is the graveyard of Afghans. in that war, between 560,000 to 2 millions Afghani civilians were killed. Its always the poor people who will suffer for the stupidity of their leaders.
So, the land of Afghanistan was liberated from the Brits, Russians and Americans at the cost of Millions and millions of dead Afghans. is that a good trade???
J T brother first see what happens with soviet union
Great documentary!! ;
Very cool information
It's hard to belive but this country has been at war for 36 years. Could that be more insane or what?
+honour123 Korea's been in a state of war since 1950, 66 years. Crazy.
michael swords Very true. Look at the leaders of North Korea! WOW!!!!!
The USA has been founded with a war and have been in peacetime only for like 25 years since its birth in 1776.
the 100 years war between England and France, of course warfare was different, so having that long of a war nowadays would be completely different
Now it has been at war for 40 years.
I know someone who learned the same lesson as Soviets in 2021.
its clear no one win war in Afghanistan even USA. I thinks USA army just waste his time in Afghanistan.
His? Don't you mean their time The US is not a person but a country
The Taliban will lose the war because they have to come to us and fight, early on in the war we tried to take the mountains and failed. However, the most important parts of Afghanistan are under NATO and ANA control. Do you figure they have the manpower and weaponry to even make one attack work? I don't.
Powder Hungry they will be obliterated here, all of the civilians we have we right to carries and all the gun clubs here that practice for stuff like that and not to mention we have to many gangs here for any country to try and invade them boys would tear they ass up to defend the land and that’s for certain
@@powderhungry6611 but usa surrendered
And I thinks you need English grammar lessons
Who's watching after the withdrawal of US forces
nice footage
its a well known fact that Gromov and his staff had spent the last night in Afghanistan on the soviet side of the friendship bridge ,they were flown back in to Afghanistan to join the departing convoy to be on the last armoured troop carrier over the bridge ,a stunt for the cameras and media , most ranking officers did the same façade as they feared for their lives.
@Sky Forever good one
That would not be the first or last scripted heroic war-time documentary scene in history.
Wagging the dog is timeless.
Please make part 3 available for download
damn good fighters, i do not know of the situations that lead to the conflicts but ... these guys fight well
3:35 sorry, this is just comic gold. The look on the kid's face.
3:36 lol
😂
"Hi kid-HOLY SHIT HIT THE BREAKS DIMITRI!!!"
And yet today, the history repeats it self
6:16 wow I never thought kiefer sutherland was also on this fight.
Lol
Good documentary
In some cases when soviet soldiers captured Chinese copies of their ammo and small arms they were often recycled, 7.62 ammo was recycled as were RPG's and even DSHK's
In one story I heard, A BTR driver used a captured Norinco Type-56 under folder as a back up weapon because AK-47 ammo was plentiful
From this full series of video, we can say fighting in Afghanistan is useless now too. Amerca and Nato countries should understand that and immediately withdraw their troops because even now 60% of area rule by aghan Taliban in 2018
America was fighting against Russia in Afghanistan, not Russia against Afghanistan. Type 'Soviet war in Afghanistan' in wikipedia and read background (first item).
Waiting for same kind of movie dedicated to "Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan".
The older brother of '' Ghulab' (The Afghan. who took in and protected Navy SEAL Marcus Lutrell. SDV1. After his 4 man SDV recce. Team was ambushed. Resulting in his 3 Team members being KIA. Causing M.L. to evade.
Ghulab's brothers name was Ghoul. He was a highly revered Muj. commander. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan ,Ghoul was in a Afghan prison. He had been convicted of manslaughter. Ghoul had killed a man from another village, That he was having a dispute with. His prowess as a Muj. fighter was such that he was released in order for him to command Muj. In the fight against the Soviet's .
Ghulab' was around 12 yrs Old at the time. He was not big enough to operate a AK. RPG etc. So a platform was fabricated that allowed him to operate a DHSK. From a fixed position.
Not a lot of people know that one of the reasons that the Taliban was hesitent to take M.L. from the village by use of extreme force. Was that Ghulabs family was highly respected. Their father was a highly respected Afghan too.
Afghan boy's generally started fighting the Soviets at the age of 12.
Soviet had tasted the same their own poison in vietnam
I've been looking for this comment, it's like of course we'd return the favor
5:19 Wow, I am surprised they left the maps of the minefields behind
damm i guess history does really repeat itself
مشا الله ربي ينصرهم رفعو رية الاسلام لو كان مثلهم مكان الاسلام في هاذالحال الذي نراه اليوم منالذل والهوان**
Get a wife, make her love, live your life peacefuly and enjoy it. And forget about all that god stuff, its taking your mind too much
That was quite an unexpectedly upright thing to do, Soviets leaving behind maps of mines in the country.
The Soviet misadventure was largely due to the inhospitable terrain and a dedicated Afghan mojahideen guerrillas supported by US weapons.
i think, we europian and other people, simply have nothing to lose there. Finally someone like Gromov, could understand that and ended the useless war
"The Graveyard of Empires"
or just a Graveyard
Look: the Red Army defeated the powerful war machine of Nazi Germany, but ended up being humiliated by a band of ragged guerrillas in the sands of the Afghan desert!
My heart goes out to the Afghan people. Their country (and once my forefathers') is where the holier than thou powers came to settle scores. I long to go there at some stage and serve its people by easing their lives in some way but the love of my child and family have now made me too scared to risk it.
No one even mentions the 100s of 1000s that died because some power wanted to destroy some other power. And now hearing lessons of morality and human rights from them is simply sickening.
haha hey its me from the future
It's a war the Russians could never win, and another lesson to America and its allies who boast ther might but also withdrew tail between their legs. little do they know the might of God as mentioned in the Quran wherein the Khurasan will start marching towards them for a final victory.

The credits music sounds really familiar to me and I couldn't exactly tell which piece it is, can anyone help me?
3:33 The Russian experience in Afghan summed up in just 1 scene...
Right. Lol
LoL 😂 amazing
3:53 Deja Vu
what is the name of this series?
3:02 "a local conflict best left to Afghans"
If only the NATO coalition would finally see it that way.
what wars does this series talk about
09:30 I think the tank driver was also waving to camera 😁
No because the tank driver just drink vodka.
Music near the Gemany!
same here man i asurvived a death once i was digging for metal but it actually was a collection of Bombs lol..hehe..we used to burn bullete so they could explode man crazy days
Gromov was one of the most highky decorated soldiers in Russian history, and serves as governor of the Moscow oblast.
when is the us docu??
.....They hit on the fact that the mujahadeen could not get organized .....a few times.....have you ever noticed if you see a group of men together from this part of the world...that they will almost surely start arguing...even if they are like minded (same side)
Can anyone tell me the name of the music that rolls during the end credits?

This fight and the fight against SADF in Angola sank the Russians
@ 3:34 yea that's a well coordinated withdrawal alright...
Geez, this commentator seemed more interested at taking shots at the U.S. than he does offering an objective narrative. He even seems to almost justify the invasion at the 3:00 mark. He incorrectly dismisses the impact the introduction of American Stinger missiles had on the Soviets, and how they turned their thoughts towards withdrawal in place of continuation. The introduction of this weapon changed the entire landscape of the war and how it was to be fought, it's that simple.
....or you are just an American fanboy and should not speak when you actually have no idea...?
3:34 hahahah :D
Soviets were invited by government of DRA -- Democratic Republic of Afghanistan to back up Afgan military against opposition.But at that time Afgan army guys couldn't grab their butt with two hands at the same time. And Soviets got deeper and deeper in conflict.
Urban population was very friendly to Russians. During the war Soviets built strong infrastructure
like gydro electric power plant , that I guess , still producing electricity today , many schools, colleges, government buildings, roads , tunnels, bridges, aqueducts, airports. A lot of afgan people today want
"Shuravi" to come back. Even many of Mujahideen guys, talk about Soviet solders with respect.
सुंदर।
It would have been a hell of a show if the Russians did not leave.
Friendship bridge.
GLA in 80's be like...
Afghanistan will never leave there naation
what a war
ههههههههه مسعود یک قهرمان شیر خراسان زمین بود نه مثل گلبدین ودگه خرررررایتان که شما تاریخ سیل کنید که کی وطن فروشی کرده ازاول تابه حاله
ISI is the hero of this war
You don't have to see it... It was a great empire
Long live Afghanistan
The US tried that in the Mekong Delta and Central lowlands of Vietnam, declaring 'free fire zones" and driving peasants into "strategic hamlets" and cities. Did it work in the end?
The only "free fire zone" for the Americans now is the Kabul airport. If I didn't know better, I'd say it's really ironic that the Afghans managed to corral 5,600 US troops into the Kabul airport. A "free fire" zone.
@@zarakdurrani7584 They were pulling out dummy. The idiot president was the one who made them occupy the airport. They were supposed to have been a small reaction force to keep stability in place. Instead they were ordered to pull everyone out at once. Thats what really happened .
@ 3:33 😂😂
Whitch country does afghan people like, im curious?
Very good story with good fights. Too bad the napalm was never employed there
HK Adler Too bad? Napalm is abnormally cruel compared to most weapons. Interesting how the U.S. was happy to use it on villages of civilians and the Soviets refused to use such a torturous weapon.
Yeah, so they started killing Afghan civilians with rockets instead of napalm, totaly not torturous...
I mean, the footage clearly shows usage of phosphorous ammunitions, but hey, at least it's not napalm... or what? I'm pretty sure it's just that rocks don't burn as the sole reason for not deploying either en masse. That both were used, whenever effective, is quite likely. Whenever not, well, cluster bombs are just as merciless. Only thing clearly not employed, would be chemical weapons, like agent orange (which itself may only be a defoliant, but it was tainted with extremely toxic and mutagenic contaminants that chronically endangers the population wherever it's used).
those phosphorus munitions were used to blind infrared trackers not to burn combatants
Слава Советским воинам !
USSR left schools, hospitals, and infrastructure in Afghanistan in 10 years. What United States and Europe left after 20 years. Talibans with people who is desperate to leave the country.
Mines should be illegal WTF. after war they lay in the dirt to clam lives of civilians.😥
Christopher Kleinbach It is illegal according to International Law. Millions of mine have been destroyed across globe. However there is still some because its costs 1000$ remove a single mine
As opposed to regular war devices which just kill civilians while the military is there....
1 the Russians called the Mujahideen "spirits"
2 before going to Afghanistan, the soviet soldiers were trained for 3 months
3 to understand all the experiences of our boys, watch the movie *9 rota* and *cargo 200*
Don't underestimate the power of Afghans
We've learned nothing from the Soviets and have followed the same path.
R u from Us?

Don´t tell me you saw the Soviet Union as a great empire...
That might have been the only possibility for winning in Vietnam, but it's doubtful that the US could have won against a China that would not have stood for US troops on its border. And even if the US could win would it be worth the casualties and destruction as well as turning the Cold War into World War 3? An incursion into Pakistan would be a costly endeavor with political repercussions.
Finally who win?

+黃柏翰 the afghans relied on century 80 year old weapons from british colonial times in afghanistan.
khilji Nagor afghanistan was a virtual protectorate of the british from 1879-1919.
The tactical withdrawal,, folks that’s code for retreat and defeat ✌️
Who are watching this video in 2022
Afghan Power!
Some empires have sent a small contingent of forces to Afghanistan, stayed there for some years battling the tribals and then left when they realized they had nothing to gain from that hellhole.
If Afghanistan had a coastline which offered access to Indian Ocean, the Soviets would have wiped out most of the resistance and stayed there. Similarly if there was oil most of the Taliban would be finished off by Afghan militias armed and funded by US and there wouldn't be any plan for leaving.
They’re called rare earths idiot
And now the American have gone through the same story
Soviets are far away from Indian ocean, ignorant. And there navy isn't that powerful. This logic could work with Americans though.
Soviets were worst
Бей духов!!!
It is said that the pashtun is not at peace, unless he is at war.
Won the battle but lost the war. The U.S. would make the same mistakes in Afghanistan a few years later.
Iraq still had WW2 weapons and ammo. Russian hardware obviously as well. And some American stuff that they took from Iran during that war. There was very old M113s and Paladins along with some old British tanks from back then as well. And of course WW2 tanks and hardware most of it was in great condition. Just had no parts to keep them running I guess.
who won afghan??
