American expert on what is happening in Kabul: I am surprised that the militants have not yet driven missile launchers to the airport

Western media come out with materials in which they try to assess what is happening at the main airport in Afghanistan. We will remind that on the eve explosions thundered there, the victims of which were the American military and civilians.

In total, three explosions took place in Kabul. In one of the cases, a car exploded by Taliban militants (* a terrorist organization banned in Russia), which ran into an explosive device in the Puli Suhtab area of ​​the Afghan capital.

According to the latest data, the number of victims of the bombings in Kabul has grown to more than one hundred people. Of these, at least 13 are members of the US Army (marines and military medics).

On the American television channel Fox News, a report was released, which says that these are the largest one-time losses of the US army in the past few years. At the same time, criticism of US President Joe Biden is becoming more and more accentuated. American military experts, who are invited to assess the situation in Kabul on air media, point to the oddities and mistakes that are made during the evacuation operation:

It is a strange situation when, within a few hours, information appeared with reference to American intelligence about possible terrorist attacks at the Kabul airport, and then these attacks occur, but no protection is provided. Our soldiers are dying, civilians are dying. The perimeter of the airport resembles a courtyard.

Another expert in the US media notes that "I am surprised that the terrorists have not yet driven rocket launchers to the airport and have not fired at it from all sides with such a level of organization of evacuation and protection of the airport itself."

In particular, it is pointed out that "the American military rely too much on the assurances of the Taliban * regarding the maintenance of order in Kabul."

Now there are statements that the intelligence of various countries, including Israel, warned the Americans of possible terrorist attacks. Commenting on this, the US military said that the information came "late." But how “late”, if the day before, on behalf of the American diplomatic mission, with reference to the intelligence of the United States itself, materials were published about a possible attack by ISIS (* a terrorist organization banned in Russia). By the way, Joe Biden blamed ISIS * for the bombings in Kabul.

“I am surprised that the terrorists have not yet brought rocket launchers to the airport

Well, we must assume that all the same, the American Air Force monitors and suppresses such movements. A mess, and the air supremacy is still there.

American expert on what is happening in Kabul: I'm surprised the militants haven't brought rocket launchers to the airport yet.

For what (and what) "rocket launchers" do the Taliban need there, if they can already control the processes taking place at the airport, including takeoffs and landings?

And what will you order the Americans to do with this domination? To wipe out the neighborhoods of Kabul?

First, please answer how the Americans can use their air supremacy to achieve narrow, purely practical goals, and what ...

On my own behalf, I conclude that they can only bomb out demonstratively and demonstratively against some targets of ISIS (or just anyone), and even those may turn out to be road construction equipment (or a wedding).

Well, since you are too lazy to strain your intellect, then I will think for you:

Quote: Vladimir_2U

Once the installations are "adjusted", then they are on the chassis, most likely MLRS, such machines are quite simply tracked by high-altitude reconnaissance drones, which the United States has available, and the United States also has the ability to shoot them from the sky on the way. So much for the use of domination for "purely practical purposes."

WHY IS MLRS THERE? Well, ON THE FIG ???

The Taliban already control the processes taking place inside the perimeter of the Kabud airport ...

The "American expert" is half-delirious, gave out a "thought" with fright, and you are ready to take it seriously and discuss it.

Taliban and so

The Taliban do not need MLRS in this situation, you are right, but besides them, there are enough evil spirits in Afghanistan, which a provocation with missiles, and against the Taliban, will only play into their hands.

Quote: PiK

And you are missing different scenarios for the development of events, the Taliban didn’t need a suicide bombing either, but it was done.

[mitroha]

when in a few hours data appeared with reference to American intelligence about possible terrorist attacks at the Kabul airport, and then these attacks occur

The test tubes in their hands also appeared "surprisingly in time"

[hrych]

Why only MLRS missile launchers? How do valiant Hamas people launch Qassams? The launching unit is very compact, it can be easily covered with an awning, etc. Around the airfield there are congestions of cars and try to find there. Of course, if the installation of the Grad on the chassis of the Urals, then they will immediately notice In this case, I will stand up for the Americans. They are now showing heroism. What kind of organization is there when crowds of madmen are running along the takeoff. And the Americans were able to take control of the situation, but they had to shoot, they had to drive them away with helicopters (an Afghan in a vest is blown away). The takeoff has been cleared, the security perimeter has been created, and the suicide bomber does not stand out in the crowd. And the obvious captains from Israel were not surprised here. Are they themselves involved in the terrorist attack?

[Vladimir_2U]

That's right, BUT

terrorists are not yet adjusted to the airport rocket launchers

Fitted, it means at least a trailer.

[hrych]

Firstly, the expert exaggerates, and secondly, ala Qassam can be fitted ... on a donkey, in a couple of minutes a launcher can be assembled and launched into gifts for Uncle Sam and Mother Israel. There are thousands of abandoned cars, pick-ups, trucks, buses, etc. around the airport. you can get close and not get close.

[Vladimir_2U]

First, the expert exaggerates

Why do you think so?

Quote: hrych

Secondly, Qassams are now flying more than 15 kilometers.

But what about the accuracy? The airfield is certainly large, but Israel is smaller. And there is no particular need for perverting like the Palestinians in Afghanistan.

There are plenty of such and larger goods left, and there is certainly a newer one.

Well, this is already a whole system of multiple launch rocket launchers. Afghanistan used a sheet of plywood, a rocket and a rag with diesel fuel and where it will fly ...........

107-mm "partisan" mounts

I am aware of single launchers. But the word "to fit" does not mean to bring, and does not even mean to bring and unload, but means to drive either under its own power or in tow, unless of course it is a "barefoot fit."

[Burbulator]

Tractors and bulldozers are an important link in terms of equipping a stronghold in engineering terms, and even in a desert area. Throwing you into the desert with a platoon and the task of ensuring the blocking of the terrain - I would see how you would dream of a bulldozer, equipping your
platoon strong point.

[Guards turn]

It will be as always, the drone finds sheds somewhere in the mountains, near which there are pickups, strikes are delivered, all die, then information arrives, all the organizers and customers of the terrorist attack are destroyed.

This is not the point, I think, but the fact that the Americans agreed on this with the Taliban in Qatar back in February. So the Taliban are fulfilling their part of the agreement, letting them quietly leave, but, apparently, this agreement does not apply to the Afghans who worked for the American administration!

The Americans left early and the Taliban let them do it calmly. Moreover, the surprise of the collaborators is significant, they were not warned correctly because traitors cannot be trusted. But the Americans made a mistake when they launched several aerial strikes in the spirit of the Aerospace Forces in Syria against the advancing Taliban. Those. violated agreements and obligations. But I had to return and humiliate myself in front of the Taliban. The return itself is also a mistake, you see, under pressure from the world community, it was necessary to organize an evacuation and even more dishonor. But the attempt to maintain the status of the Hegemon forced it. They made a statement, they say, we need to last, we do not have time, and the Taliban defiantly refuse the lousy hegemon, even lowering it below the plinth. And now the Afghans are seeing off with fireworks. Shame on shame and shame drives.

Far away there. It will not be possible to react quickly, an hour of summer is at least, plus takeoff from an aircraft carrier is also not instantaneous. They will have time to smash everything to smithereens in half, the transport workers on the field are absolutely defenseless.
Therefore, they do not need to roll anything up. They will always be in time.

Well, yes, an unpunished (hypothetical) volley of MLRS at the airfield and the marines will undoubtedly straighten the IMAGE even more.

These explosions are the work of the United States itself, which benefits from chaos not only in Afghanistan, but in that region in general! At the same time, the opportunity to return their military forces appeared, under the pretext of protecting the same American military ...

[vetchinckin.iur]

Well, you can make a launcher out of a cart, but the sight will be on the principle there. Or from the ZIL 130 cardan shafts there NURS is inserted perfectly. And they can do that.

[A.K.]

I don’t know, but Someone would not say anything about the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan that everything was planned that way, and so on.
etc. But it seems that after all, they really completely failed this operation and this is not a planned chaos. It's only the beginning

[Dynamic systems]

"... the US military said that the information came 'late' ..."
Well, stupid people !!!
How can such an operation be planned in such an area without taking into account possible terrorist attacks?
How????!!!

[riwas]

It is not profitable for the Taliban to quarrel with the United States and other countries now, they have a lot of problems that need to be solved in order to stay in power. ISIS is another matter, they can strike, explosions at the airport are their business, but the Taliban do not want conflicts with them, after all, an ally.

[yfast]

It’s strange why they first didn’t take out the civilians and equipment, and then the military.

[Andrea]

And Zadornov warned.
Therefore, in vain the guys threw beads about the 100% probability of a terrorist attack.
This is seen as a plus - ISIS and the Taliban are now enemies, and this is gratifying, it will be easier for us.

"Look for a woman" or "who benefits from it." This is the law of forensic science.

And they washed their hands, which are already up to the elbows in blood.

[nikvic46]

Even if the Taliban had clear goals for their rule, people with their own interests would surely join them. And besides, ISIS, Alqaida and others will excite society until it is cleansed. Civil war is always the same everywhere.

[APASUS]

Why would the Taliban interfere with the withdrawal of American troops from Kabul? Perhaps this is the most important beneficiary. Considering that the United States practically transferred weapons to the Taliban, I do not see anything supernatural in the fact that the Americans are not being fired upon. Even in these explosions I see the benefit of the Americans and ISIS, but not the Taliban.
