It also made Brezhnev more angry bcs he vouchered Taraki that he wont get killed by Amin or from Parcham wing. Amin reigm of terror was worse that Tarakis
that's a fair point. I do not know. i just assumed since they weren't speaking their native language, esp since the Afghan people, whom most were Pashtun, invited the communist party and then later defeated the soviets.
ahaha u know nothing about USSR, lol. There were no drug addicts, as you imagine. Extremely few people used drugs at that times, such a market did not represent any benefits. And a lot of more u can't imagine. No homelesses, no street crimes, gangs and etc, BUT it wasn't country of rainbows and unicorns of course. But opium, what, really? Yeah, sure a few pounds to the pharmaceuticals. At the same time, you can grow a poppy in Tajikistan, which is part of the USSR. There is no logic in your opium(opinion sry ahaha)
Sorry about last comment but it was really funny. It wasn't because of the opium, it was because of the geographical location of Afghanistan. Whoever controls Afghanistan controls all of Central Asia and the land routes from Asia to Europe and back. Alexander the Great, Seleucus, the British Empire, the USSR, and the USA understood this
Типичное дерьмо от Радио Свобода. Вы лучше расскажите как СССР всю промышленность, социалку, школы, больницы, дороги в Афганистане отстраивал до 1979 года. И как Советский Союз продовольствием помогал Афганскому народу в 20 веке.
Its a bullshit. 14 soviets was killed, KIA: 3 KGB specops ( elite group batallion Zenit), 7 "soviet muslim recon batallion" from GRU (Soviet Union), 4 VDV Airborn guard soldiers. th-cam.com/video/s81vlFaLZs8/w-d-xo.html&lc=Ugy2tgShv8YJAsytwWR4AaABAg
it should be mentioned that after the saurrevolution Hafizullah Amin became the foreign minister of Afghanistan and Taraki was the president, Sarwari was the chief of intelligence and Masdurya was the Home Secretary and watanjar was the minister of Defense. How can anyone blame Amin for all the executions and arrests although he was the foreigner minister ? The president, chief of intelligence,homesecretary and the minister of Defense had the most responsibility for the brutal situation. And especially because of the strict style of their ruling Amin was the one who confronted them to stop. Therefore Taraki then tried to kill Amin. So Amin had no other possibilities except of sentencing him for death and become president. So Amin was only 3 months the president before udssr attacked. The other ministers of taraki fled to UdSSR and came back to power with Karmal after the invasion. So how curios is that to say because of the brutal regime they had to invade but on the other side they let those people who were responsible for the arrests and deaths become ministers again? The Russians tried before poisening and invading the gouvernment, to kill Amin by Taraki !!!
When Amin became president, he also killed people. But yes you are right, the russians made their own politics and tried to find a "reason" for invading Afghanistan.
1:18 The KGB attempts to poison Amin by having the cook poison the soup. 2:01 When Faqir (Amin's Interior Minister) arrives in Amin's bedroom, Amin was lying in bed. Two Russian doctors put tubes into his stomach to clean it out. For the next four hours the Soviet doctors (unaware of the KGB plot) frantically worked to revive Amin.

You should meantioned level of mess during the palace sturm, when soviet commando in afghan uniforms in darkness confused friends with foes, lost 30% kia and its commander due to friendly fire.
how fucking resilient is that one dude?!?! fuckin tanks 3 bullets jumps from the second story breaks 3 bones and just lives somehow
Amin had the elderly TARAKI ( Soviet Candidate) killed which angered Andropov.
It also made Brezhnev more angry bcs he vouchered Taraki that he wont get killed by Amin or from Parcham wing. Amin reigm of terror was worse that Tarakis
The CIA does this all the time

@@sovietheart3883 That's right. You launch an attack like 9/11 on the USA you get you're ass kicked.
At about 5:50 timestamp ..... is that an airship above the palace??.
Would've loved to hear a Pashtun's side on this. Inshallah, Pakistan stops supporting the Taliban, so Afghanistan can have some peace for once!!
Just because they speak persian you assumed they are not pashtun? Or you know that they are not?
that's a fair point. I do not know. i just assumed since they weren't speaking their native language, esp since the Afghan people, whom most were Pashtun, invited the communist party and then later defeated the soviets.
It is unfortunate that even now most of Afghan national army is made up of Pashtun people and so is Taliban and they are fighting each other.
Yes, it's sad. Inshallah one day things will change.
Afghan hack 101: When u can not defend urself then just put the blame on Pakistan and move on.
It was about the opium.
with the us invasion of afghanistan opium production and export skyrocketed and all neighboring countries have serious opium crises since then.

Amin was president.
And taraki was betrayed by Amin who couped him then later killed taraki.
When Amin became president, he also killed people. But yes you are right, the russians made their own politics and tried to find a "reason" for invading Afghanistan.
Watanjar was against the brutality of Amin which is why he lost his job
7:16 other sources claim that about 20 soviet soldiers were killed. Against the more than 100 that you claim.

Yes thats cuz the Russians wore Afghani uniforms. That's why a lot of Russians were killed in friendly fire.
