US and NATO to invest in Afghanistan Air Force $ 6-7 billion over four years

5 September 2017

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said that the United States and NATO countries will invest 6 billions of dollars in the development of the Afghan air force over the next four years.

Increased financial support provided by the new US strategy for Afghanistan

- noted Ghani during his visit to one of the military units in the province of Nangarhan, reports RIA News.

At the same time, American General Philip Stewart told TOLO News that he was talking about 7 billions of dollars over the same period.

We expect the Afghan Air Force to be fully professional, reliable, efficient and independent - this is our goal here.

- declared the military. He noted that within the framework of the new assistance package, the fleet of the Afghan Air Force will double.

Prior to this, in the 2016 year, the Pentagon and NATO were planning to allocate about 15 billions of dollars to the Afghan armed forces.

Earlier, the US president announced a new US strategy for action in Afghanistan. Trump refused to talk about the military aspects of the strategy, but made it clear that there would be no quick withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. He also clearly defined the role of Pakistan in the Afghan settlement: there was a direct threat to Islamabad that he could “lose a lot” if he continued to harbor terrorists on his territory. Trump said the United States will no longer use its army to build democracy in the world.

  While in Afghanistan mattress mattresses the heroin wave will only increase, regardless of the actions of aviation. And, as regards the aviation of democratic Afghanistan, this is yet another liar * ё, covering up the cut of the state budget. One reprise
  Afghan air forces will be fully professional, reliable, efficient and independent
  
  what is it worth. And the peak is vran * i - what is meant by the word "independent"? Is it possible to create an aviation industry in Afghanistan with related industries?

    The first (bad) thought is that the Taliban will have F-35. Or something from the BTA - traffic, however.

Blow through Afghanistan? This is what tells me that the territory that will be cleared of the Taliban will be provided to ISIS or the remnants of the rabble who escaped from Syria. Then they will feed him, and they will not forget to arm them to the teeth. And a blow to Asia will follow immediately. Although not as strong as it was conceived.

Why is the United States so generous, it can push old trash from storage bases.
That is, at 6 lard, the Yankers will buy new Pepelats for themselves.

Even half of the amount invested in agriculture and industry in Afghanistan brought much more benefits. But drugs and war are more profitable for Americans than a peaceful life.
