{{Main|Raids inside the Soviet Union during the Soviet–Afghan War}}
The Mujahideen launched multiple raids into the Soviet Union in an effort to foment unrest and rebellion by the Islamic populations of the Soviet Union, starting in late 1984 [[Director of the Central Intelligence Agency|Director of CIA]] [[William Casey]] encouraged Mujahideen militants to mount sabotage raids inside the Soviet Union, according to [[Robert Gates]], Casey's executive assistant and Mohammed Yousef, the Pakistani [[Inter-Services Intelligence|ISI]] brigadier general who was the chief for Afghan operations. The rebels began cross-border raids into the Soviet Union in Spring 1985.{{sfn|Coll|2004|p=104}}<ref name="LSA">{{cite journal |last1=Westermann |first1=Edward B. |date=Fall 1999 |title=The Limits of Soviet Airpower: The Failure of Military Coercion in Afghanistan, 1979–89 |url=https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/jcs/article/view/4356/5011 |journal=Journal of Conflict Studies |volume=XIX |issue=2 |access-date=3 October 2015}}</ref>{{sfn|Kaplan|2008|p=128|ps=: "... the farmer told Wakhil [Kaplan's translator] about all the irrigation ditches that had been blown up by fighter jets, and the flooding in the valley and malaria outbreak that followed. Malaria, which on the eve of Taraki's Communist coup in April 1978 – was at the point of being eradicated in Afghanistan, had returned with a vengeance, thanks to the stagnant, mosquito-breeding pools caused by the widespread destruction of irrigation systems. Nangarhar [province] was rife with the disease. This was another relatively minor, tedious side effect of the Soviet invasion."}}

===Aerial engagements with Pakistan===
During the conflict, Soviet aircraft intruded into Pakistani airspace multiple times and Pakistan Air Force F-16 had shot down ten aircraft, belonging to Soviet Union, which had intruded into Pakistani territory. However, the Soviet record only confirmed five plane kills (three Su-22s, one Su-25 and one An-26) and 4 helicopter (Mi-8) kills. Some sources show that PAF had shot down at least a dozen more aircraft during the war. However, those kills were not officially acknowledged because they took place in Afghanistan's airspace and acknowledging those kills would mean that Afghan airspace was violated by PAF.<ref name="nationalinterest">{{cite web|url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/pakistan%E2%80%99s-f-16s-battled-soviet-jets%E2%80%94and-shot-down-future-vice-president-russia-47717|title=Pakistan's F-16s Battled Soviet Jets – and Shot Down the Future Vice President of Russia|date=16 March 2019|work=National Interest|last=Roblin|first=Sebastian|access-date=20 December 2019}}</ref> In all, Pakistan Air Force F-16s had downed 3 [[Su-22]],1 [[Su-25]],2 [[Mig-23]],2 [[An-26]], and Several [[Mi-8]] while 1 [[Mig-23]] was damaged while losing only one [[F-16]].<ref name="auto"/>
