Here is a collection of Soviet snipers in Afghanistan during the Soviet military presence there in 1979-1989. This first guy is a Soviet record holder – sergeant Vladimir Ilyin has shot a Mujahideen chief commander from a record distance of 1350 meter away from his sniper rifle. That’s over one kilometer away or over 4,449 feet! Inside are some more snipers!

Major Dragunov moment

Russians in Afghanistan with a captured MP5, most likely supplied to the Mujahideen by the CIA

Playing with a flintlock pistol, as you do

Russian soldiers of the 154th Spetsnaz battalion pose with an American supplied SA-7 anti-air launcher they took from the body of a dead Mujaheddin fighter

mmmm AKS-74u the sexiest gun ever

Who here is familiar with the Cursed Soldiers (Damned Soldiers, Doomed Soldiers, Indomitable Soldiers) of Poland? Anti-Communist and anti-Soviet resistance fighters. They deserve the Braveheart treatment.

Umm the polish underground army

“The dead friends will be with us forever”, “Hello, homeland!”

@Clemens is our resident time traveler and gives us photos

Russian troops boarding a Mi-26 in Afghanistan.
The machine gun in the foreground is the Kord 12.7mm heavy machine gun, a huge general purpose weapon with an effective range of up to 2000 meters

That helicopter is unbelievably massive

It carries the same amount of weight as a C-130 Hercules cargo plane.

didn't they use that copter in the 1st red dawn movie

or did they use the 'gunship' version of it instead

That might be an Mi-17. Not the Mi-26 pictured here.

Maybe it can be put in a museum

Witold Polecki 😄

Probably didn’t spell his name right -_-

Guy was a polish army officer who literally broke into Auschwitz concentration camp, organised resistance, broke out, then he was betrayed by his own country’s collaborationist government.(fucking commies.)

Not necessarily a cursed soldier, eh. You said Polish underground and I thought of this guy.
