Default Re: obat26 Afghanistan

The October issue of AirForces magazine has an article on the Afghan Air Force just before and during the collapse. I don't know how useful this information will be but I thought I would post it.

Quoting from a June 30th report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction the operational strength of the Afghan A.F., excluding aircraft not in country was:

23 A-29B Super Tucano
10 AC-208B Eliminators
23 Cessna 208B Grand Caravans
3 C-130H Hercules
33 Mi-8/17 Hips
43 MD530F Cayuse Warriors
33 UH-60A+ Black Hawks

22 fixed wing aircraft and 24 helicopters, types not specified, were reportedly flown to Uzbekistan. 1 UH-60A+ is reported to have crashed in Uzbekistan when it ran out of fuel and 1 A-29B was destroyed when it collided with an Uzbek A.F. Mig-29.
About 40 operational fixed wing and helicopters are believed to have been captured by the Taliban, including 2 Mi-8/17s, 5 to 7 MD530Fs, at least 1 A-29B and an unknown number of AC-208Bs.

When comes to my mind Technical vehicles usually that was a Toyota pickup like this but now In Afganistan Ford is a chariot of war.

Famous "The evolution of revolution"


But toyota is also in usage even if smaller number
Here Taliban Special Forces in Kabul 1 September 2021


Here is article which explain Taliban victory from Technical usage perspective: https://olhardigital.com.br/en/2021/...honete-taliba/

Here photo from times of Afgan war in 1980 and as technicals were use GAZ-69 and GAZ-66


Toyota's may come near end of this war late 1980's here some photos https://houseofqueeg.wordpress.com/2...spotlight-no1/ even Specnaz used vehicles captured from Partisans delivered by West https://t.me/anna_news/8903 https://twitter.com/ralee85/status/1318993324376805376 look's that they were so happy from this captured vehicles that they use even now modern equivalent of Toyota hilux in their special forces here article https://defence-blog.com/russian-spe...hilux-pickups/
