The 378th OShaP (Independent Attack Aviation Regiment) was formed in November 1984 made up by the 1st AE (Aviatsionnaya Eskadrilya - Aviation Squadron) stationed at Bagram and the 2nd AE at Kandahar. The regiment consisted of twenty two Su-25s, fourteen at Bagram and eight at Kandahar. The third rotation of personnel took place between October 1986 and October 1987. Between November 1986 and February 1987 four Su-25s were lost due to Stinger Missiles used by the Mujahedeen. Su-25 defenses were upgraded as well as new tactics were developed.
