Without US support it could have never been done. Sven is right about targeting transport planes, they did this using stingers very effectively. (it would have been more effective if the Afghans werent so proud as to stand in lines of 3 or five and fire the missiles simultaeneusly, to show that they werent afraid.) But yeah Soviets lost big time in that war.

Transport planes usually fly higher than the Stinger's max altitude, so why did the Soviets fly their transports so low? or did they shoot them down while the planes were landing?
