"The Black tulip" was the name of the black painted airplane that carried the dead bodies of soviet men who had died in Afghanistan back to the Soviet Union. You can see the Black tulip taking off at 4:16. When it took off it launced flares to make it look like the plane was crying for the fallen soldiers it carried.
@@Matt77125 That's the practical reason, but it does look like the plane is mourning the men it had to carry home. Bless their souls, may their families find peace.
Now I know I’m not the first to make a video of this song, but by God it’s such an amazing song and I simply couldn’t help myself. To me, this song (although written in 1996) is to the Afghan War for Soviets what “Fortunate Son” is to the Vietnam War for Americans. The two are completely distinct in their tone and content, but both symbolize perfectly an entire generation of their people’s emotions and memories of the war. Although a rock ‘n’ roll, “Afghan” somehow feels thoroughly Russian. Perhaps it’s the resigned way it tells the tragic story of the twenty-year-old soldier’s final moments; perhaps it’s the melancholic imagery of the lone “black tulip” circling in the sky, mesmerizingly dropping its flares before flying to back to the Motherland... Creedence Clearwater Revival definitely couldn’t have written this. I know it is impossible, but I still can’t help but imagine a young soldier sitting on a “Hind”, blasting “Afghan, Afghan, Afghan” while flying across the barren mountains. God the Soviet aesthetic, and God we need another good Afghan War movie. It’s been too long since the 9th Company.
The fate well deserved I like to think it was a curse from spirit's of fallin men to show what we went through I grew up in Russia for 8 years knowing the struggles and the fate of men I'm 13 to clarify
Except we didn't. Al'Qaeda was never supported by the US, and Osama bin Laden himself was assassinated in 2011. One of the main sources for the support of Al'Qaeda by the CIA is the Guardian. They're a tabloid site. It's safe to say you can disregard that.
@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 Except we did. Debate all you want about Osama Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda allegations linking to CIA, but I'm not talking about the Arab volunteers, but the local Afghan Mujahideen. One of the main sources for the support of Mujahideen by the CIA is the CIA itself. They're a civilian foreign intelligence service, if you didn't know that. It's safe to say you can disregard that. Also, United States killing Osama Bin Laden is not a good point to say they didn't fund or support him, Manuel Noriega was a graduate from The School of the Americas and worked with the CIA . You forgot the difference between the Afghan Mujahideen and the Arab volunteers that fought in Afghanistan against the Soviets, or you didn't read properly.
@@Mistaken_deed Alright but Mujahideen veterans still help us fight? Soo why is that controversial or "funding our enemies". Don't try and fucking lie, you were talking about Al'Qaeda.
@@wisemankugelmemicus1701 Okey now what's your point? Some mujahideen support us, but many more do not. It's controversial because many of those same mujahideen we supported are now in the other side of the barrel, now our enemies. Also, you don't know how to properly use quotation marks, it's a fact we funded the Mujahideen back in the day, look up Operation Cyclone. When did I said something about Al-Qaeda? You were the one who started talking about Al-Qaeda because you don't know jackshit about the Mujahideen. And I'm not fucking lying, you fucking dipshit. Now you're just assuming things, that's bullshit from your part. You just don't know how to read properly and research things before pushing into an argument you know you can't win and know jackshit about.
I'm sad how i find out some of our men died to suicide attacks in Afghanistan with grenades. Like imagine you doing that and than at you're grave you're mother finds out about the death and cries her heart out....

see this song fucking slaps, and it's gonna get stuck in my head. I can't sing it in English, because that's not right, so I have to sing it in russian but I'm a native English speaker. I'm learning tho
i remember when i listened to this for the first time i enjoyed it because i liked the way it sounded, but when i looked up the lyrics i was a little disturbed and i felt kinda sad but i still enjoy it.
The trunk of the plane is tulip shaped. And the airplane is painted black. Russians appreciate poetic language very much. There are even Afghanistan war memorials that are shaped like the black tulip
Throughout history empires have gambled on Afghanistan and like the casino, the odds were against them from the beginning. Invading Afghanistan has always been followed by rapid decline in the country that attempted it. Britain, USSR and now the US.
wonder if in 19870 russians will be blasting this in some kind of osprey gunner look alike in Afghanistan during the rf afgan war (2nd soviet afgan war)
@@moogalooboogaloo I'm talking about the Soviets. Creating is on America this time. I hate giving Soviets credit but clearing a few mujahadeen is good for everyone
Lei Hou That An-12 was shooting flare decoys while pulling up drastically, standard maneuvers for the soviet Air Force to avoid terrorist ambush using American stinger missiles, since stinger missiles are heat seeking.
That plane is the black tulip which is mentioned in the song too. It carried the fallen soldiers home, and when it took off, the pilots lauched the flares so to make it look like its crying
The communist government destroyed the feudal land system of afghanistan, destroyed the power of the islamic priests and made thousands of advances towards women's rights.

That’s so interesting where did you hear that?
Its shooting flares because its taking off over Kabul and they don't want to get hit by a mujahideen heat seeking missile

As Rosenbaum says, they shoot flairs so the boys don't die a second time. The flairs were supposed used to defeat stinger anti-air missiles.

Answer: *Ask the dead*
As a dead person my answer is :.............
Afghanistan
The dead person: 💀

Now you see why they say they swallowed dust. And they even named a plane "Black Tulip" for their dead comrades.
The trunk of the plane is tulip shaped. And the airplane is painted black. Russians appreciate poetic language very much.

I love my country but we supported the wrong people in this war
Do you guys think Afghanistan would have been much better off under communist governance?
Lei Hou absolutely
The commies had only governed some soviet Afghan citys
The communist government destroyed the feudal land system of afghanistan, destroyed the power of the islamic priests and made thousands of advances towards women's rights. Not to mention the incredible industrialization program made in the end 70s.
That's why the mujahideen was so strong in the fight. The communist government was thousands of years ahead of the afghan society in general. Combined with american support for the taliban, afghanistan had a tragic end.
Yes, let's not forget about the situation in the country since 79'
I mean... better than the american funded fascist mujahedeen
