Afghanistan 2019 -
Overview:The KGB task forces were poor at combating the Afghan guerrilla war waged by religious groups with the support of the United States and its allies. The experience of fighting the Basmachi in Central Asia in the 1920s was forgotten, and the experience of other countries was not studied. All this reduced the effectiveness of military operations and led to large and unjustified losses among Soviet troops.
