This continued silence on this issue is becoming increasingly eloquent. I also draw particular attention to this from the mass media, in particular, the West, in particular, the United States of America, which recently so often wrote materials on the subject of Russia's alleged support for the Taliban and extremists in Afghanistan. We have repeatedly said that these materials have no basis for themselves, and declared the Russian unequivocal position on this issue. I would very much like these unidentified helicopters to also appear not only in Afghanistan, but also on the pages of Western media.

I understand that you are looking for Russian hackers. Now you can switch to helicopters, which in Afghanistan itself are considered to be American, and which provide support not to some moderate militants or extremists, but directly to igilovtsam
