Afghanistan: "Tank Cemetery" at the foot of Hindu Kush Mountain

At the foot of Hindu Kush Mountain, which is more than 0/00 km away from Kabul/Kloc-the Afghan capital, there is a place called "scrap iron paradise and tank graveyard" by local people, where thousands of tanks, armored personnel carriers, military vehicles and artillery are scattered.

In 2008, Chen Zhifeng, a photographer from Xinjiang, braved the Taliban's war and came here. The locals told him that it was all left behind when the former Soviet army retreated. Many tanks are rusty under the erosion of years before they are used. ......

Afghanistan has been invaded, harassed and ruled by foreign countries for a long time because it is located in a fortress in south-central Asia. Peter the Great once said that whoever conquers Afghanistan will conquer the world. Thus,1February 1979, 19, Soviet troops entered Afghanistan. 10 war, 1 10,000 people died, and 6 million people were forced to flee their homes.

Finally, the Soviets left, leaving eternal wounds and broken mountains and rivers for the Afghan people.
