In the British press: It is dangerous if NATO military equipment in Afghanistan is transferred, for example, to the Wagner group

53

In an interview with the British press, Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace compared the failure of the American army in Afghanistan to the "successes" of the British armed forces. He says that the Americans have "forgotten" their entire fleet of Black Hawk helicopters and other equipment, while Wallace's wards have left only a few units in this Asian country.

This opinion was expressed by the head of the British Defense Department in an interview with the staff of The Spectator magazine.



Actually, he is not too worried about helicopters and other aviation, which ended up in the hands of the Taliban (* a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation), because its operation is rather complicated and expensive. He is much more worried that weapons will fall into the hands of "dubious mercenary groups." According to Wallace, it is dangerous if NATO military equipment in Afghanistan is transferred, for example, to the Wagner group.

For some reason, many high-ranking officials see traces of this semi-legendary, semi-mythical Russian PMC in all corners of our planet - from Belarus to Africa. Now, for some reason, they decided that Wagner's unit must certainly be in Afghanistan. True, the purpose of their stay there is not clear. Perhaps the British minister suggests that they were thrown there with the task of seizing American Hummers and helicopters, of which there are hundreds.

It seems that he fears the Russians much more than the radical Islamists who have captured an entire country in a few days.

        - and you did not know that P&B work part-time on vacation at GrWagner?

        an article will soon be published in XXXX how the GRU and Wagner conquer Argentina - Malvinas is in danger.

        the conclusion will be simple - Putin is preparing the annexation of Antarctica! and from there, hordes of trained penguins will invade NZeland and Australia and destroy the flora and fauna.

        And I think so too .. In Iraq, Syria did not work out, now they decided to leave (a huge, just huge modern weapon) in Afghanistan, and there it is not far from the Russian border, if you break through on all this armor .. They will pass like a knife through butter through all the borders of Asian non-states, and even hundreds of thousands of supporters will be armed .. The US has an interesting idea, of course, but I hope the Afghans understand everything and for whom this pile of weapons is for .. You can come to an agreement with the Taliban, they respect the shuravi and remember us well ... Good trophies will be for all of us !

          if on all this armor you rush to a breakthrough

          Well, for the start of Daesh, it is necessary to remove this armor from the Taliban, and this is unlikely. Moreover, the retreating star-striped enemy, now does not mind helping in the fight against ISIS.

      Why thugs? The news has already slipped through that the Taliban sold all the armored vehicles and components for the aviation to Iran for a meager price and the types of weapons they lacked so much. This is mainly about armored vehicles and off-road vehicles, however, there is also information that Iran acquired from the terrorists of the movement " Taliban ”and spare parts of abandoned aircraft, which for a number of reasons cannot be used by the Taliban. So their fears exceeded all expectations.

    Well, I'm bastard! It turns out that the staff skidded, and the British won (successes). And who drapanul the staff before? Although they are masters in this, when they dashed through La Mash, their heels sparkled, and they also dashed from Singapore, but did not have time. They have experience, but they have someone to learn from.

    For some reason, everyone is silent that with the departure of the Americans, something must be done with drugs. During the occupation of Afghanistan, drug trafficking was supervised by the CIA and other Anglo-Saxon special services. Who is it now? There the bill for tens of billions of dollars a year went. This is how many corpses are buried in the ground around the world when dividing these incomes.
