Hello all, I hope you are all doing well! I have finally decided to take on my favorite and most relatable Aesthetic of the Cold War. The Soviet-Afghan War of 1979-1989. But, as I am a fan of War Thunder, I have decided to make a War Thunder Cinematic of it. I thank everyone that came to help me personally, and I will link any of their YouTube Channels below. The song used also comes from the same era. "Cascade", started off as "VIA “Tankist” (1981-1983) under the leadership of Alexander Malyutin. Only when in 1983 Andrei Sukhov came to replace the conductor, the group got its legendary name. "Cascade" was born and was stationed in Afghanistan in Bagram city (Parwan province), where the 108th Nevel motorized rifle division was stationed. The composition of the group changed several times due to the fact that the participants were conscripts. After the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the Group was reunited in various cities of the former USSR. The most famous instance is when they reunited in 1991 in Yaroslavl by the same Andrey Sukhov, and in 2000 in Mogilev by Yuri Streltsov. The Soviet–Afghan War was a conflict wherein insurgent groups (known collectively as the Mujahideen), as well as smaller Maoist groups, fought a nine-year guerrilla war against the Soviet Army and the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan government throughout the 1980s, mostly in the Afghan countryside. The Mujahideen were variously backed primarily by the United States, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, and the United Kingdom; the conflict was a Cold War-era proxy war. Between 562,000 and 2,000,000 civilians were killed and millions of Afghans fled the country as refugees, mostly to Pakistan and Iran. The war caused grave destruction in Afghanistan and is believed to have contributed to the Soviet collapse, in hindsight leaving a mixed legacy to people in both territories.
