Did the VDV assault on Kabul aiport involve the use of airdropped AFVs? I would think this would be the sole combat scenario where such a maneauver would actually have been used.
Nop. Airport, as well as the rest of the most important objectives in Kabul was captured either by spetsnaz or by troops protecting soviet military mission. Spetsnaz assaulted the President Palace. "Radio Afganistan" was captured by reckon company from the protection of the Soviet military mission, airport was most probably also captured by mission troops. VDV planes landed on the already captured airfield.
