| Mujahideen (Islamic guerrillas) stand on top of a Soviet helicopter they brought down in Afghanistan’s Panjsher Valley, north of Kabul, in 1979. The mujahideen fought against the Soviet military occupation of Afghanistan during the Afghan-Soviet War (1979-1989). They used guerrilla-war tactics to ambush Soviet troops. | ||||||
