@aleksandarzoric2452 It was Soviet Union not Russian and the difference is obviously just look videos how Soviet Union withdraw and how "#1 army" runaway and left everything. Crazy to think that the Soviets spent 10 years in Afghanistan and lost at least 14,000 troops and the US spent nearly double the time there and lost about 2,400 and the Coalition lost about 1,200. Don't know how you can say the Soviets at the time did better when they took so many more casualties in a much shorter time.

@aleksandarzoric2452 #1 army & Co. lost around 2500+3600 (around 6100) troops PLUS CONTRACTORS Not all contractors were military and many who were in Afghanistan were there doing civilian work so not sure why you include them? I'm just including western military where US and Coalition forces were around 4,000 or thereabouts over almost 20 years. As for leaving behind so much equipment, I don't know why other than they thought the Afghan army would actually use it when they were expected to stand and fight rather than surrender without firing a shot. Its a shame though because much of it could've been sent to Ukraine when the war started barely half a year later. So what would happen if #1 army didn't have all the technology,60/70 000 kia like in Vietnam...because it easier to compare those wars from technology aspect There's no way the US would ever lose that many troops in Afghanistan even if they had Soviet level of weapons simply because they would be better trained and better led and their leaders wouldn't be throwing their lives away the way that the Russians do in every conflict they fight in. Also can't compare US in Vietnam with Soviets in Afghanistan when the US deployed far more men and equipment during the Vietnam war than the Soviets ever did in Afghanistan.

@alexandernorman5337 Yet you say the Ukrainians are the winners in the loss ratio. The Russians are 100% losing far more men and equipment than the Ukrainians are although that doesn't mean that Ukrainian casualties aren't significant too. I don't know how closely you've followed the war, but if you've watched the tons of videos that have come out of Ukraine you'd see that the Russians really don't care about the losses they take as long as they accomplish their objectives.
