The support of the Mujahideen had started much like every other intervention. The CIA supplied them with non-lethal aid like communications equipment and humanitarian aid. However, when the Soviets demonstrated how serious and stubborn they were in terms of how much they wanted to invest in Afghanistan, the U.S. ramped up their level of support.
The turning of the tide was the CIA’s decision to arm the Afghans with the new FIM-92 Stinger. This relatively cheap and portable anti-aircraft missile system was highly effective on the battle field. These launchers, which cost only a few thousand dollars, were able to take down multi-million dollar Soviet helicopters with devastating effect.

By terror, I meant the 'terror' that is pushed onto us by the government. I.e. foreign terrorists. I'm sure you knew what I meant.

Looked pretty much to me that you meant exactly what you said.
And to be honest I have no idea what your definition means.
