FSMTC: Afghanistan’s refusal of Russian helicopters will hit the country's combat capability

The refusal of Afghanistan from Russian helicopters will hit the combat capability of the Afghan armed forces, said Dmitry Shugayev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), on the Russia 24 channel on Monday.

This is contrary to logic. Our cars are the basis of the Afghan Air Force. These are the best cars adapted to their terrain and so on. In the end, Afghan pilots and even American pilots speak positively about the car.

- he said.

Today, to take and cross out this park is simply causing damage to its own armed forces.

- added Shugaev. The head of the FSMTC noted that it is still early to put a "fat point" on the use of Russian helicopters by the Afghan armed forces.

We remind you that earlier and. about. Afghan Defense Minister Tariq Shah Bahrami said that the country no longer needs Russian-made helicopters, since it already receives NATO-made vehicles. At the same time, he stressed that at the time of the transition from Russian helicopters to NATO, Afghanistan will need assistance in quality service of Russian vehicles in service.

It is noted that now this service is carried out not by licensed companies, but through some other countries, including some Eastern European NATO states, which still use Soviet-made helicopters and have experience in servicing them, reports TASS

But Russia supplies free helicopters to Afghanistan, right? Oh, these Western businessmen, they all have money ... :)

Afghan rake in the American version, ten years ago there was already such a gimmick, nothing happened, the Afghans do not understand how to fly on the Pindle branches, but they know how to ours))

Afghans, if I don’t understand something, then only one thing. In the conditions of Afghanistan (sharp temperature changes, dustiness, poor material base for service, lack of qualified personnel), western turntables (hangar storage), unlike the proven Russian ones, will not fly. So let them buy what they want, but then they will remember with nostalgia unpretentious Russian helicopters.

I agree, I remember the show about the crocodile was shown, in the states a peasant (a pilot in the past) bought 24, and happiness was full of pants, excitedly told that he stood in his barn for six months without moving, then only put the batteries and fill them up, and go, and that with any amersky helicopter this will not work)) but greed is a terrible force, you have to buy your own three-expensive))

that is, to sell))

And their problems, they want to fall, let them fall, they want to get into debt, not our problems.

Here I am about the same. These unnecessary worries about the Afghan defenses are of no use.
I would only raise the price three times for the maintenance and spare parts of the remaining turntables. And then let as they want, and also served by anyone they want.

Soon, Afghanistan, like Ukraine, will break ahead with free equipment. He’s taking the dumb thing.

And how does it strike Afghanistan’s combat effectiveness interesting? Our "Bears" there are about 82 units. The Yankees will replace the Mi-17 with about 160 vehicles, which is almost 2 times more, well, and 4-5 times more expensive, not including service and spare parts. This is a business, moreover, obsessive and only Afghanistan is at a loss, and in part we are, as we are losing even a small market.

What kind of combat readiness of the clerical army in general can we talk about? Whoever has the “happiness” to swallow dust in Afghanistan will understand what I mean.

[Partyzan]

there is not combat readiness, it is not needed there, the stripes have their own business - drugs, but the minuscule that the Afghans get from this must be changed to mattress trash, but at a good price

[Incvizitor]

What is the fighting efficiency in an occupied country?

[Simon]

Afghanistan's refusal from Russian helicopters will hit the combat capability of the Afghan armed forces --- It is clear that someone is on his paw, someone has fallen off! I saw green papers and forgot about the country's defenses.

[svp67]

They are from what is NOT REFUSED. But they won’t buy new ones either. Since the Americans give money for these purchases, they rule the ball ...

which will contribute to the safe relocation and deployment of ISIS fighters from Syria and Iraq to Afghanistan.

Ukraine is contagious, you see pinos and there brought the bacilli.

[AlexanderVP]

Is this a blow to combat efficiency? When it becomes known which NATO helicopters will replace the Russian ones, then it will be possible to compare the combat readiness.

[Herculesic]

Well, they have masochism in high esteem, they love to drop weights on their feet -We can’t forbid them to do this! !!

This is not essential. My cousin was there and said that theirs was very mediocre. They feel good behind the Americans

There was already a similar epic with helicopters in Afghanistan. High-tech Afghan personnel brought them to zero, literally in half a year.
First of all, one should not forget about the mentality of the local population. Just for example: the Afghans have no concept of carrying capacity and for this reason they load the car while it is traveling.
