Pakistan | Russian Occupation of Afghanistan | China | TV Eye | 1980 

This shows that the Chinese were involved long way back even before CPEC.

This is how China helped Paistan and Mujahideen to defeat USSR, but no Pakistani historian or anchor ever credited China for help which they gave in USSR Afghan war.

Those were the days... ...when owning a television-set enabled one to get actual information. Even if it could be construed as 'one-sided propaganda': it had flair, charme and featured all kinds of knowledge.

WoW It's a Gold Documentatry

Pakistan is a British establishment 1947 in afghan land. Indian settlers

My uncle was in Army Engineers and he was critically injured during the initial stage of building the highway from china into Pakistan. The explosion launced a rock and hit him in the head. He was hospitalised. He recieved a medal for his services

This is the time when Pakistan for once project a strong nation image,a strong military capable to topple the soviet,during 71 soviet interfered and broke east pakistan,decades later Pakistan broke soviet even the germans were very much appreciated

This is how news reporting was done before social media

It's really funny how everyone got this war wrong, every country assumed someone else was up to something, I'm really surprised that it didn't snowball into something bigger.

Used to love ThamesTV as a kid in the 80s was like having classroom history lessons, it’s another reason I’ve always had a thirst for history to. This is when TV was informative & not the crap we get spoon fed now.

Soviet Russia, Indo-America, Nato, British surrendered in Afghanistan because of Markhor.

"it's a question of when it is to be used" Zia you absolute genius.

And the fun fact is that gawadar was bought by Pakistan from oman And today it has become back bone and strategic importance for Pakistan and China

Pakistan did actually right helping Afghan people to confront USSR. Otherwise their sovereignty wouldn’t survive against communism. It's not basically Islamic right, it's more geographic right. They wouldn't let USSR be their neighbours to target them next. It's their right to plan to survive. Respect from Bangladesh.

General zia was a Intellegent person.

Isn't it funny when zardari & nawaz vying with each other to claim the credit for cpec? This documentary provides ample evidence that the architect of the cpec was gen zia while zardari at the time used to sell bambino cenima ticket and nawaz was being groomed by zia.

This is absolutely brilliant. Afghanistan became trained and given weapons to use against the Russians by the Americans who feared the spread of Russian influence across the region.

Saved Pakistan many ways. In fact he was the Iron man of Pakistan

This video is eye opener and connects many dots to today's question marks

One of the Great Leader of Pakistan Zia Ul Haq RIP,

Thanks to China who helped Pakistan at this critical time.

Amazing view of that particular time which is quite relevant in current circumstances as well.

TV Eye up to the mark as usual. I remember well the spoof letter sent by Henry Root (Bill Donaldson) back in 1979 (published in The Evening Standard) to General Zia imploring him to keep up the good work & ignore the liberal press! Zia responded by thanking Root for his pertinent views & included a signed photo! Priceless.

Balochistan 🇵🇰

Maybe Russia Understand Becox He Did in 1971 Same We Did in 1980

through this documentary, I can see the reality of that time. this is our Pakistan army who saved Pakistan. first General Zia ul hq implemented Martial Law then he saved our country from the Soviets. thanks to the help who saved us.

PAKISTAN always did his best 1st helping Afghan Mujahideen against Russia. Then helping Talibans against US invasion. General Zia was greatest generals

pakistan is poor but he is international game player very smart

Gen Zia ul Haq 💚🇵🇰

This is when US provided F-16 A/B to Pakistan, the unchallengable most modern combat aircrafts of 80s...... Well planned Pakistan

General zia the great man

general zia was legend

Great documentary.

I hate the way these videos are chopped up. There's no need for it. There is no limit on RU-vid file sizes, or length of videos that I'm aware of. Maybe there was when this file was first uploaded? But not any more. These are historically important videos.

Pashtuns protecting Pakistan's northern border.

CPEC is now here, in Gowadar the future 🔮 of Pakistan 🇵🇰 inshallah. Long live pak_china friendship and brotherhood.

A very beautiful and historical documentary

Pakistan defeated Soviet USSR back in time by using Mujahideen and Pakistan now defeated U.S.A by using Taliban. And the game is still on......

ISI is very profanation I indian but love it

He let out the genie from the bottle. That bottle is empty to this day. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

At 18:40 he conveyed with that amazing smile what is done after 30 years long live isi long live pak army

I wish i was born in such Time 🥺

Game is still on ...

MARKHOR STILL EXISTS ..WE ARE WATCHING U..UN KNOW SOLDIER OF PAKSITAN

I still could but can't believe in a way that Afghanistan gets through tough competition. God helps them i guess. They manage to get through strong 💪 military countries. War is good for nobody though man. Idk why the world 🌎 doesn't realize that shit.

This documentary has not aged well for anyone except the Chinese. In the year 2023, it is amusing to see the British trying to stay relevant in the grand scheme of things by playing their old tricks, and stay on the winning side .

Love Pakistan China friend shipping

long live china pakistan brothetrs

Baby listen.... Where the people thinking and plans finishes the plans and thinking of isi s starts

And this was the time, Americans unwittingly (they do it more than often) created the militias it continues fighting to this day.

Reason we went against Soviet Union, because of Soviet involvement in East Pakistan separation. Plus USA want revenge from Soviets of Vietnam war. After 1990 and after 2012, gradually our way r different sadly. Even though we don't want completely breakdown between USA and Pakistan relationship if USA make balance between Pakistan and India. Make balance in military power. Otherwise I fear might Pakistan, China, and Russia make new alliance, if USA continue present policy.

BEAUTIFUL DOCUMENTRY 😍❤ 🇨🇳🇵🇰🇨🇳🇵🇰🇨🇳🇵🇰

Strange..game is on..

remarkable video! So USSR invaded Afghanistan to get Gawadar. The same is the story today when USA and India are looking at Gawadar with suspicions of their own. The Great Game never stopped and it goes on through this region. CPEC will further enhance the Sino - Pak Ties. Also, the military coverage by the TV EYE is quite remarkable. Yes, Pakistan acquired Chinese Arms in large numbers as USA Backed out after the 1965 war. Today Pakistan is again buying Chinese Arms to defnd herself for ostesibly the same reasons.

Watching this in 2023, in hindsight Pakistan should not have entered this war.

It isn't a coincidence that the man who islamasized pakistan looked like a real monster 👹!

Zia was a very dashing officer. He had served long in the middle east. Actually he was from India and not what was to/or become Pakistan. Hence he didn't give a damn to the former fuedal families in /of Pakistan . But the Afghan secret service Khad got him finally.

Now 2021, the USA leaving the graveyard of the empires

The most funny part here is that these are all humans. We have failed to learn to live with each other.

All east europian countries and east Germany enjoying independance due to the blood given by Afghans and Pakistani ISI in Russian war over Afghanistan.

What were the soviets thinking

Amazing absolutely amazing

China always helped Pakistan

Today your friend tomorrow your enemy. Geopolitics in the great sneekey game, that never ends.

We don't want any war no proxy war Zia is dead long live Pakistan and prosperous Pakistaniis

"CHUDA" summarises the Chinese plan for Pakistan.

Afghanistan was better under socialism.

Considering the current affairs of the unipolar world it would have been much wiser to have settled the issue with USSR coming to warm water politically. It could have been only done by the great Mr Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Unfortunately by design the politics of Pakistan was disrupted in 70's just to remove Mr Bhutto so that the trap would be laid down for the USSR and at large for Asia & South Asia in particular to make a unipolar world. What has been left after the fall of USSR is chaos in our continent Asia. American state weakened our region, designed wars for our region and then sold her weapons to us and sucked our regions economy. American State comprises of Mafias. Our region and at large our world has been put into a chaotic situation by this evil American state. All the states in continent Asia must untie themselves on 1 platform and should make effort to put there differences behind and should work together for a prosperous Asian region which will eventually have a positive impact on the rest of the world.

China and pakistan alliance forever

I still don't understand why from arms to agriculture, China from the beginning support Pakistan in tough time. Maybe it was policy of Mao?

This is the time when Pakistan for once project a strong nation image,a strong military capable to topple the soviet,during 71 soviet interfered and broke east pakistan,decades later Pakistan broke soviet even the

4:53 You should see the city of Gwadar now, the port will be fully operational within 5 years and have the potential to make Pakistan a regional power.

4:32 oh! Gawadar Now China will use gawadar instead of Russia

ZIA!

General Zia ul Haq Shaheed was the greatest leader Pakistan ever had.

Zia and the ISI are responsible for what Afghanistan is today. They armed and trained the most extreme Islamist groups.

Why nobody talks about USA occupation of Afghanistan or Iraq and what Pakistan did to help

british propaganda. kinda hard to watch

God, what a world game foresee

Gen Zia Ul Haq ZINDABAAD... Pakistan ZINDABAAD

Soviet union war master mind former ISI chief Hameed Gul

The Soviet union did not " occupy " Afghanistan. It only intervened after the Afghan government requested troops to help suppress the American backed rebels.
