    When the Soviet Union withdrew its forces from Afghanistan in 1989, it left "graveyards" of military hardware scattered across the country.

Abdujalil Abdurasulov visited a graveyard of Soviet tanks in the outskirts of Kabul to see if it may be replaced by new remnants of the US-led war in Afghanistan.
