Soviet Union InvasionThe Soviet Invasion happened in the December of 1979 and it resembled their invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. The Soviet Union sent airborne troops to seize the capital and also had motorized rifle troops on ground. They killed President Amin and blew up the main telephone exchange and Radio Kabul. They also captured central government facilities in Kabul. The serious fighting ended on December 28, but nearly every ministry was openly under Soviet control by then.
