The leaders of the Afghan Air Force have announced that since the United States left the territory of Afghanistan, exactly two years ago, in 2021, the Taliban government technicians have been able to repair and maintain dozens and dozens of military aircraft of the Air Force. After the end of the former pro-US government, led by President Ashraf Ghani, dozens of planes and helicopters had been transported to neighboring countries.

"Our maintenance service has repaired approximately more than 70 aircraft and helicopters. Some aircraft are still under repair", said the commander of the Afghan Air Force, Abdul Ghafar Mohammadi, underlining that it was recently repaired and returned to service a Russian-made Mil MI-17 helicopter. In short, a message to the world, with which the Taliban demonstrate their autonomy.
