WI the Soviets had crushed the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan?
According to "War at the Top of the World" by Margolis, the Russians were actually winning the war before the introduction of the Stinger missiles, which enabled the muj to bring down the Hinds and fixed-wing aircraft that troubled them so.
("Troubled" is the understatment of the millennium--"massacred them so" would be better)
So what would have happened if the Russians had finished off the mujahadeen? POD could be that they're not given the Stingers.
