In Afghanistan, fighting continues between the National Defense and Security Forces (ANSOB) and the Taliban * (terrorist movement is prohibited in Russia). As stated in the Ministry of Defense of Afghanistan, over the past XNUMX hours the Taliban have suffered heavy losses.

There, the ratio of killed militants / security forces is reported as 4 to XNUMX, and two more security officials were injured.



The Afghan military department claims that after July 20 they managed to turn the tide in their favor and stop the Taliban's advance. Over the past day, battles were fought in fifteen provinces, in the Balkh province they managed to recapture the Kaldar district on the border with Uzbekistan. It is noted that in this area there is a strategically important bridge connecting the two countries.

The Taliban *, who also announced their victories on Twitter, are not lagging behind the government forces. As a spokesman for the movement Zabiullah Mujahid wrote, the Taliban managed to shoot down an Afghan Air Force helicopter. According to him, it happened in the province of Helmand. In addition, it is announced about the capture of one of the provincial districts.

The Afghan Defense Ministry confirms the loss of the helicopter, but emphasizes that it has nothing to do with the Taliban. According to reports, the helicopter made an emergency landing for technical reasons during an operation against militants and was destroyed after the crew was evacuated. Earlier it was reported that in this area, the Afghan Air Force used MD-530F helicopters.

    Not a small, bigger enemy, a well-trained and well-supplied, motivated army should not lose ... all the more not newcomers, they grew up in the same place, their roots are also there, t.s.
    That is why many are not optimistic about the army's victory over irregular military formations ???

      Because in fact there is a civil war going on there. And more than one decade goes by. Each side believes that it is she who is right and that victory will be theirs.
      To make matters worse, the current administration is widely supported by the United States.
      And many will want to change it.

      The Taliban are part of their society, whose relatives are brothers, husbands, sons. Tribal relations are even more complicated. They instill their power mainly by force and fear of total annihilation of those who disagree (fanatics in their worst manifestation). And the government servicemen, although trained in military affairs, are not as motivated as the bearded men. Only the "bloodlines" fight to the end, and many surrender without a fight.

      For some reason, everyone misses the "Haqqani Network", which has long entered the international level, maintaining ties with foreign Islamist gangs. Both the Taliban and Al Qaeda treat it with "respect". and ISIS, or rather its branch "Vilayet Khorasan of the Islamic State".
      They are also supported in Pakistan, which is waging a (so far) hybrid war against Kabul.

        To learn about all the local people, you need to seriously study this topic.
        Judging by the statements, no one wants to go deep and find out.
        This, now, somewhere far away and not very worried.
        Until he bites in the crown, personally, so it will be.

      According to data published by the Afghan Ministry of Defense on Twitter,

      Here you can believe at least half.
      I believe that the Americans also left the relevant instructions for them in terms of media coverage and propaganda.

    Russia should be very careful in its actions and statements. What is the Taliban proposing that the Afghan government has not done? Do they have some kind of program or is it from the topic: "Consider us the people's power, and then we'll figure it out"?
    It is clear when some light shines in the tunnel ahead, it’s bad if you begin to understand by the darkness and smell that this is the most ordinary ... and not a tunnel.

      Russia should be very careful in its actions

      most likely, we are already in full swing saturation with Afghans and with the help of PMCs already previously formed special forces brigades of the Syrian type as the 30th Republican Guard, 4th Tank Division of the SAR
      the same Afghans are being trained by our instructors from the MTR

        Russia, while officially, in accordance with the UN mandate, is taking measures in the intra-Afghan dialogue between the opposing forces.

          and not officially, it looks like this:
          Lebanon 1 Special Forces Brigade and 7 Special Forces Regiments - swallowed
          Syria 2 divisions of special forces and 10 regiments of special forces - still holding
          Libya 6 battalions of special forces - would have swallowed up - without our intervention
          Afghanistan 6 Special Forces Brigades - it seems to hold on, we are already strengthening

    The capture by the Taliban of the ANSOB-controlled airports in Afghanistan will significantly increase the Taliban's chances of winning this civil war, there are no longer any other supply routes for the pro-American government of Afghanistan, so the victory of the Taliban is a matter of time, while NATO bombing in the mountains against the Taliban is not particularly effective

      The Taliban takeover of ANSOB-controlled airports in Afghanistan will greatly increase the Taliban's chances of winning this civil war.

      Airfields are also important, but only the greatest support of the Afghan population will ensure victory for the parties.

    In the East, as always, nothing is clear and very confusing. What forces and resources do the opposing sides have? Who supports them? Financial capabilities of the Afghan government and the Taliban? Everything is covered with darkness.
