Keywords:

The article is clearly tendentious and embarrassing. The author either does not own the topic or deliberately distorts and holds back the facts. More than 30 years have passed since those events and all materials have been declassified for a long time. The 103rd Vitebsk Airborne Forces began landing at the Kabul airfield on the evening of December 25, 1979. Although, in Soviet times, it was officially announced that Soviet troops were introduced on January 1, 1980.
