In 1986, the Soviet Union launched Operation Trap, a massive offensive to destroy the Mujahideen supply hub at Zhawar, deep in the mountains of Khost province. This episode takes you inside the battle of Zhawar — a three-week siege that pitted Soviet Spetsnaz and Afghan government forces against Arab and Afghan fighters, including a young Osama bin Laden. We explore why the Soviets failed, how the Mujahideen turned a devastating defeat into a propaganda victory, and how the battle foreshadowed the rise of foreign fighters in Afghanistan. Drawing on first-hand accounts, declassified CIA documents, and the memoirs of commanders like Jalaluddin Haqqani, we examine a pivotal moment that the Soviets themselves later called 'the turning point of the war.' If you thought you knew the Soviet-Afghan War, this episode will change your perspective. #Zhawar #SovietAfghanWar #OperationTrap #JalaluddinHaqqani #OsamaBinLaden #Khost #Mujahideen #Spetsnaz #Afghanistan #1986 #ColdWar #CIA #StingerMissile #ProxyWar #History #FexingoHistory #SouthAsia #Warfare Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
