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

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.
