soviet afghan war scenerio's?

[wulfir]

Scenario 225 is based upon a joint Soviet-Afghan vs Muj operation in Mamhud-i-Raqi, freely after the book by Zigmas Stenkus, a Soviet VDV trooper of Baltic origin.

Sidenote:

In his book about his war service in Afghanistan Stenkus noted that the Soviet troops had no faith whatsoever in their Afghan allies (gov forces) and routinely detailed part of their own numbers to keep an eye on those supposed allies. The idea was that if the Afghan government forces tried anything funny (and from time to time they did) against the Soviets the Soviets were to be in such a position that they could blow their allies away.
