Mujahideen Tactics in the Soviet-Afghan War - Bennett Park Raiders

cult when two alphabets are involved—some spellings are different
than in other books on Afghanistan. Although the Mujahideen
always say 'Russian' instead of 'Soviet', we have used 'Soviet'
throughout unless it is a direct quote.
We use Russian map graphics on the maps. The Afghan Army
used the Soviet graphics system and most Mujahideen were familiar
with them. Russian graphics are more "user friendly" ( flexible and
illustrative) than Western graphics. The Russians can show the
sequential development of an action by adding times or identifying
lines to their graphics. These lines are explained in the legend. A
table of Russian map graphics is located in the back of the book.
Mujahideen forces are shown in blue and Soviet/DRA forces are
shown in red.
