communist ideology especially the USSR was not a favorable ally and after 1971 we were not on good term with the USSR
plus the USSR would never accept a country built on the principles of Islam as a good ally.
Well, Jamal Abdul Nasser too was a progressive Muslim leader, leading a Muslim-majority country but had the support of the USSR.
About Pakistan, it was not about Pakistan incompatible with USSR but Zia Ul Haq deciding to appease the mullahs and choose friendship with NATO.
the Mujahideen got the aks from china after US and Saudi Arabia got involved providing funds to procure aks from china and other countries
That is my point. After a while, the so-called Mujahideen were not heroic rebels who fought alone against the big bad USSR without any outside support.
China and USSR had a fallout in 1969, which by the way had an effect in India too, with the communist movement here splitting into who would support China and who would support the USSR.
