Intro Hello... & Soviet 'misadventure' in Afghanistan

[Leo_Chambers]

Hello.

I used to follow the old militaryphotos(?) forum. Don't know what happened to it, but very happy I found this one. Just on here for research and nerding out over military stuff. Especially interested in times when the cold war got hot, especially in Africa (Rhodesian & South African Bush Wars, Angola etc.) and the Far East (Borneo, Malaya, Vietnam).

Anyhoo, here's some picks from the Soviet's stint in Afghanistan.

Welcome, from New Zealand.

A great start, loving the Hind images, thank you.

A quick question, what is the guy on the ground, to the left, beside the BRMD doing... Or about to do?

BRDM picture's a bit too small to see, but it looks like he's about to hit someone the the shins with something.
