A note about the video. The way we depicted the events around and in the Tajbeg Palace are largely accepted by historians, but the Soviet "spetsnaz" members, who participated in the operation, often give conflicting accounts of it. There will be one more episode covering the war in general.

The funniest thing is, when the Tujbeg Palace was being assaulted by Soviet Special Forces before the invasion... Amin is said to have screamed "inform the Russians" to which his personal bodyguard had replied "who do you think's here ?!"

[noobster]

When KGB fucks up poisining the "target" two times and the army has to move in to do it "manually"

[CODEXAMBROSIUS]

From total war videos to production quality higher than history channel docuseries. You are killing it my man👍

[messe_noire]

I'm a graphic designer from ex ussr country and few weeks ago i did a photo album for a dude that participated in this operation. He was a part of "Muslim Battalion"

Respect to that 1 Afghan guy that showed up!!!!
😂😂😂

[ryans]

I remember researching this years ago. The assault was complete chaos. One of the drivers of the vehicles deserted his position in a panic. When he realised that he just abandoned the only piece of cover he had in the battle, he ran back to his driving position and advanced forward towards the Palace.

I feel like a fat kid in a candy store everytime they upload something new

[leochan]

I loved how detailed the explosion blast was, when it exploded the far away at 12:00. The blast started at 12:05 and the shockwave that reached the camera ended at 12:07. Absolutely loved it!

US president - its time to end the America's longest war.
K&G - hmm, we know what we are uploading next.

[napoleonibonaparte]

What an appropriate timing.

This needs to have a sequel episode.

[bradyknox]

While General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev is making a speech, a few men in the audience are arrested who turn out to be American spies.

"Brilliant work!" says Brezhnev to a KGB major. "But how did you know they were spies?"

"Well, " said the major, "as you yourself have observed, Comrade General Secretary, the enemy never sleeps"

1979: Soviet Union invades Afghanistan.
1989: Soviet Union has left the chat.
2001: United States invades Afghanistan.
2021: United States has left the chat.

No joke here, I've watched about 50-60 of your videos since the start of Covid. I've learned more than any history class or lecture, simply amazing! Love all of you so much and appreciate everything you do. Every video is a gem and makes my day : )

[SAMUELSKUWAR]

Guys, I've been following you for years, and learnt so much history. Your animations have always been great, but this time, you've surpassed it all. I am so very proud of you all.

[Pwndbythnb]

16:24 "We will see if this task was achieved."

Well since it's 2021 and now the US is still fighting essentially them, I'd bet no.

[andregabrieltimcang]

The animation has accelerated quickly
Now this video has more details
Keep up the good work K&G
I must say, im amazed👍👍

[MrAlexkyra]

When the Soviets left, the Afghan communist government they left behind held out for 3 years against the Mujahideen. The Afghan government left behind by the Americans didn't last 3 months, even with US air support.

[GeoChild]

K&G: “In miniseries we will see if pacifying Afghanistan was achieved.”

Spoiler: “It wasn’t.”
