      Russian equipment poured from them much more often, as the Afghans themselves have repeatedly said, the only plus of our helicopters, according to them, is that they are easier to repair and maintain. hi

      Mi-Xnumx staff has recently fallen / been knocked down by the same. 17 dead, including an officer group from Kabul and a general commander of forces in the province.
      The bodies, by the way, have not been returned yet. Power operation - the Americans refused to support themselves on the ground, and negotiations came to a standstill. The place of fall is a mountainous region deep in the Taliban’s control zone.

        By the way, after a series of attacks by the ANA (sleeping Taliban cells) - in the presence of VIPs at the guard, ANA, Afghan officers and Afghan SOFs - they began to take away weapons. It got the same.

      in recent cases, it was Mi 8 (the same Moldavian with the Ukrainian crew).
      I don’t see confirmation that the Afghan Air Force lost Chinook. Do the Chinooks and the Air National Corps of Afghanistan?
      Most likely mi 17 or mi 8.

              Do not make people laugh. The states were engaged not in salvation, but in intervention, until they were expelled from there

                There was no intervention, there was not even a single shot in the direction of the "Reds" from the Americans. Learn the mat part. The only thing the Americans were doing was bringing and distributing food, this is FACT.

                  Even Wikipedia writes about intervention
                  USA - from August 1918 participation in the SPSR, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk (withdrawn June-October 1919). By agreement between the invaders, the Trans-Siberian Railway was guarded in sections from Mysovsk to Verkhneudinsk and from Iman to Vladivostok (January-March 1920 were withdrawn). The total number of American troops in the North of Russia is up to 6000 people, in Siberia up to 9000 people

              According to various estimates, from 2 to 7 million US citizens (exact numbers are still classified) and not counted the number of immigrants who did not manage to obtain citizenship died of starvation during the Great Depression in the United States. How many would die if it were not for the supply of food from the USSR, only one gentleman knows. Under these deliveries, the United States recognized the USSR, and the Soviet Union for these deliveries bought idle factories in the United States, dismantled them and moved them to the USSR with American hands.

    I am inclined to this version and do not exclude the possibility that the Chinese MANPADS attached missiles to this. China is actually through Pakistan
