Russia had 50k troops afghan 1980s and lost

By:
I see xmoneyx, they did lose, we supported the rebels, who we defined as Freedom Fighters, and were considered good.
These same Freedom Fighters are now defined as Muslim extremists and terrorists, so are now considered bad. I hope the Russians have better luck in Syria, because I don't think we are about serious about fighting ISIS despite all the words |

They are for use against Armour, not sure ISIS have tanks, they cost £175,000 each
![]() With our current economic deficit we cannot really afford to fire them |

Still a bit pricier than the old bazooka I feel |

Ebul. ISIS gained a lot of top-class armour when they first confronted the Iraqi army who ran away and failed to destroy their weapons and ammunition.
Don't know how much of it has been lost/replaced since. |

Russia had 50k troops afghan 1980s and lost Russia were doing awfully well until the us armed the mujahideen |
|
By:
That's true that is DStyle.
The USA supplied the Mujahideen with the Stinger missile, and the Russians pulled out because they were losing too many aircraft to it. |

By:

By:
The Russians have nukes as well....so not really money tree
I would doubt Israel want nukes going off their border either...they would not want one hitting them |

Should have a Russian roulette random launch system. 6 destinations let the computer decide. |
