> . Without this help, the Russians would likely have won. it took yrs for the war to officially end, as the Russians were very reluctant to withdraw and admit defeat. I don't think there was any winning for soviets in places like Afhanistan. There were no resources(natural, material or geographic) and the local dirtpoor,resentful population would just have kept sniping away(gun ships or not). Russia can't even handle Chechnya--which is a picnic compared to Afghiastan.
