There was that little incident where the Russians had a collum of soldiers go through a tunnel where the Rebels exploded tankers in both ends of the tunnel causing mucho death and destruction.
Would lead one to believe the Russian leaders were poorly trained.
Then our CIA gives the rebels shoulder fired anti aircraft weapons and poof, the Russians get the hell out of Afghanistan.
Salang tunnel looks like a convoy road accident in a tunnel in a high mountain pass. Hundreds dead from flames and smoke. Rebels took credit though there is not a single credible source or description of how they attacked.
The CIA loves doing that. Taking credit for anything they can as though they were a hidden hand.
The missile thing in Afghanistan was true. very successful.
