Kabul, Winter 1988/89 picture thread.

I won’t be adding to much context to these, but most show DRA troops and the withdrawal of the Red Army. All found on Getty images.

Iraqi Air Force Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17F 'Fresco-C' of the 5th or 7th Squadron in the 1960s.

@BuschModelar Have you tried to luck for images of bombs or rockets pods from Nepal unrelated from Mi-17 footage? Just to see what may have been available

[David.Det @DavidDetten]

@Chebik2 @aaf_lukas Thank you!

@RedFighter242 Rare stuff! Would love to see a breakdown of armoured vehicles in the Congo in the 1990s.

@dig_ren @M4RDUK_701 Any T-54 will have a mushroom-shaped radiator on the roof for example. M or not.

[David.Det @DavidDetten]

@M4RDUK_701 @dig_ren This is wrong, T-55 hulls frequently feature this as well. This tank is a T-55 obr.1970. Easiest identifier is the MG cupola style. Also, Nicaragua never received T-54 tanks.
