Those pictures were from Afghanistan’s soviet era.
The troops were carrying PPSH’s and Mosin-Nagant carbines.
Yea, we used the Taliban to depose that government. Turned out to be not such a good idea. The Soviet union would have fallen anyway.

Just because they had PPSh’s doesn’t mean they were occupied. Those existed prior to that. Notice also the M42 helmets.

They were not occupied. They were receiving aid from Russia. The Russians and Afghanis always had a close relationship. It was in 1979 that a revolution threw out the communist government and the Russians went in. We helped the mujahadeen but when the Soviet Union fell, we left thme to their fate — Taliban and opium dealers.
