@besprosvet.military: The Airborne Forces grouping in Afghanistan consisted of the 103rd (Vitebsk) Guards Airborne Division and the 345th (Fergana) Guards Separate Parachute Regiment, as well as the 56th Guards Separate Air Assault Brigade. The paratroopers carried out raid operations, blockaded areas, and carried out strikes against several enemy groupings. Over the ten years of the war, 17 paratroopers became Heroes of the Soviet Union, and more than 24,000 were awarded other state decorations. #ussr #sovietunion #soviet #military #soldier #specialforces #ak47 #bmp #tank #conflict #russian #afghanistan #afghanistan🇦🇫 #war #vdv #helicopter #hind #spetsnaz #mountain #sovietarmy #redarmy #army #btr
