5. Thanks for pointing it out.

I hadn't actually caught the date. Just thought it was an interesting video. Thanks for clarifying the timeline.

6. Reminds me of the video of the last convoy of Soviet BMPs that rolled out of Afghanistan

You may remember that one, with which the CIA Station Chief in Pakistan signaled, "We won!" No, like those before us, we both ended up losers to the Great Game.
