When I read Rocky’s story I immediately went to Wikipedia and I could see that what I had thought was wrong and he was correct but I knew for a fact that some momentous event had taken place in Iran on November 6th 1978 and everything in Iran changed from that date.
Russia officially invaded on December 24th, 1978 but I feel confident I encountered Russian Soldiers in Afghanistan between Kabul and Herat in June 1978. The Afghanistan soldier is not difficult to identify, think very scruffy, blank look on the face etc vs smartly dressed, new uniform and outwardly disciplined. I am a bit surprised that others had not come across these soldiers.
Sorry Rocky to tire you with history but you said that Plough was the last to drive through Afghanistan and I believe that this matter is yet to finalised.
