Can you evaluate the Soviet's stratege, and tacticts of fighting guerillas?
Were the Soviets bad at chasing after the Afghans?
I have read some articles that the Soviets were not good at this kind of guerilla fighting, as they landed the helicopters in the open field (which drew rocket attacks from the Afghans) and their calvary units being lured into closed terrain, being mass-killed.
But I want to know more. Were the Soviet tactics still based on the world war 2 experiences?
Overall, were the Soviets good fighters and inflicted many casualties to the Afghans?
Or were they stupid and just got killed?
I want to know as much information as possible.
I want to know their mistakes, favorite tactics, etc.
thanks.
