What alternative fighting methods did the soviets use against the Mujahdeen in Afghanistan?
The Soviets tried to emulate the US Military in the Vietnam War. The Soviets used BMP's, their version of the US M-113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles); T-72 tanks in the same category as our M-48 Patton tanks; Hind attack helicopters, in the same league as our UH-1 Huey & Cobra Attack Helicopters, and tactical jet fighter bombers to attack their enemy in Afghanistan. The only difference between the Soviet's Afghanistan War and the US's Vietnam War was the Soviets were not fighting another country (they were fighting against insurgents WITHIN Afghanistan); they did not conduct strategical bombing with their heavy bombers, as there were no oil depots, railroads, or industrial targets to bomb; as the US did to North Vietnam with the B-52 Stratofortess heavy bombers. And the Soviets could not negotiate with their enemies government, since there was no government to negotiate with. Soviet Air Forces had no enemy Air Forces to fight in aerial combat. Since there was no enemy government, no enemy air force, no regular army, or navy. The best way to have eliminated the insurgents would have been to use the Soviet Elite Forces to surgically kill them. Removing their leaders often causes the collapse of insurgent movements.
