December 24, 1979 – February 15, 1989
(9 years, 1 month, 3 weeks and 1 day)
The total irrecoverable personnel losses of the Soviet Armed Forces,
frontier, and internal security troops came to 14,453. Soviet Army
formations, units, and HQ elements lost 13,833, KGB sub-units lost 572,
MVD formations lost 28, and other ministries and departments lost 20
men. During this period 312 servicemen were missing in action or taken
prisoner; 119 were later freed, of whom 97 returned to the USSR and 22
went to other countries.
Of the troops deployed, 53,753 were wounded, injured, or sustained
concussion and 415,932 fell sick. A high proportion of casualties were
those who fell ill. This was because of local climatic and sanitary
conditions, which were such that acute infections spread rapidly among
the troops. There were 115,308 cases of infectious hepatitis, 31,080 of
typhoid fever, and 140,665 of other diseases. Of the 11,654 who were
discharged from the army after being wounded, maimed, or contracting
serious diseases, 10,751 men, were left disabled.
Material losses were as follows:[26]
451 aircraft (includes 333 helicopters)
147 tanks
1,314 IFV/APCs
433 artillery guns and mortars
11,369 cargo and fuel tanker trucks.
