Taliban elite special forces deployed to Tajikistan bordering province

Units of the elite special forces of the Taliban * movement (banned in Russia as terrorist) have been deployed to the territory of a province bordering Tajikistan. This was stated by the official representative of the movement Zabiullah Mujahid.

On his Twitter page, a spokesman for the movement wrote that "thousands" of special forces from the Islamic Emirate (the name of Afghanistan from the Taliban) were sent to Takhar province. According to him, special forces units in the province are "deployed" to "eliminate security threats" without any explanation of what that means. The exact number of soldiers sent to the province is not specified, but the record says that there are "tens of thousands of special forces." Judging by the published photos, the Taliban special forces are fully equipped in American uniforms.

Dozens of special forces units of the Islamic Emirate's Mansuri army have been deployed in Takhar to address security threats and other potential threats

- said in a statement.

Note that the province of Takhar is located in the north-east of Afghanistan and borders with Tajikistan. On the other sides, it is surrounded by provinces with a predominantly Tajik and Uzbek population - Badakhshan, Kunduz, Panjshir, Baghlan.

Despite the fact that the Taliban have promised not to violate the borders of other states, Russia's 201st military base in Tajikistan is on alert. According to the Ministry of Defense, the personnel conducted control fires from a rifle weapons, grenade launchers and combat vehicles.

Meanwhile, the Taliban have already selected a candidate for the ambassador to Russia, but he will go to Moscow only after Moscow recognizes the Taliban government *. As the official representative of the movement Zabiullah Mujahid said on the eve, the name of the ambassador will be announced only after official recognition.

This "zhzhzh" is not without reason!
I think this was expected. And the protection of neighbors, as always, will fall on the shoulders of the Russian military.

The main thing is that our neighbors do not change their clothes and stand under the standards of the Taliban. I really do not want to get in the back.

This is what the Americans thought when they armed the collaborators. and burned along the way. But they did not take into account the fighting spirit of some and the lack of a sweetheart in others. The Taliban want to intercept someone. Some kind of squad. And it's time for our media to tie up with the Taliban and the name of their movement, and even with an excuse, they say, is prohibited. Everyone, just call them Afghans, you can call them emirates, so as not to be confused with Arabs, add Afghan or Pashtun. The very word Afghans has been synonymous with Pashtun for more than a millennium.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

Why should we take a radical stance on non-recognition of the Taliban ??? Let us believe them and give them a chance to establish peace in Afghanistan.

[Normann]

Peace and Afghanistan in one sentence cannot be.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

Let the Afghans try to establish a peaceful life for themselves.

So the Americans thought when they armed the collaborators and got burned along the way.

As long as those where these "accountants" were giving them away got burned, how they need endless dollars.
By and large, the Anglo-Saxons removed the ammunition units on their way not only in Afghanistan, and ... they drank a lot.

I agree, this is the internal government of another country.

[Shket53]

And it's time for our media to tie up with the Taliban and the name of their movement ... Hmm ... Hello ... we have already talked with you about the Taliban ... and it is very interesting that you are drowning so much for this movement .. You know, I will also be very happy if everything settles down in Afghanistan, and there will be Secular Islam (without any democracies there, but also without excesses), and if this is so, then it will only play into the hands of Russia ... However. ..that we see the Hazaras (Shiites) wrinkle, well, there are not so many of them compared to the Uzbeks (7-8 million), but Iran is worried. Well, as for the Uzbeks, they practically beat them, by the way, the Tajiks too ... Your Pashtuns don't see the rest of them at all. And why should Russia recognize this movement (mind you, I am not saying that it is terrorist, although everywhere there is a mandatory amendment) ... the Taliban.

[hrych]

The Hazaras are the third largest ethnic group in Afghanistan, and the Uzbeks are slightly less and the fourth place. Let Iran rest and enjoy, its eastern border is completely calm, there is no powerful NATO grouping and there is no XNUMX army armed to the teeth, which was actually prepared for the invasion of Iran. There is peace with the Pashtuns and that is enough, but the fact that the influence in the internal affairs of Afgan is scanty is okay. And so, Iran freed up funds for transferring to the Arabian and Middle East fronts. Russia should not recognize the Taliban movement, Russia should recognize the legitimacy of the Afghan government and build diplomacy, which, in fact, is underway, unless Lavrov again dragged on his sad-snotty song, they say, you need to watch, etc. Hurry, he would be sent to the Duma.

[Andrey VOV]

"Russia should not recognize the Taliban movement, Russia should recognize the legitimacy of the Afghan government and build diplomacy," - and which government is legitimate and whom to recognize? You will decide, dear Khrych, I do not know your name and patronymic.

[Shket53]

... Russia should not recognize the Taliban movement, Russia should recognize the legitimacy of the Afghan government and build diplomacy, which, in fact, is underway, unless Lavrov again dragged on his sad-snotty song, they say, you need to watch, etc. Hurry, he would be sent to the Duma.
I .. to you for the recognition of the Taliban ... and you to me for Lavrov and his ...... song Yes about Iran. By the way ... on the border of Iran and Afghanistan, according to the latest media publications, more than 10 refugees have accumulated (I wonder who they are fleeing from ... and why, after all, Shiites and Sunnis have always lived in "peace and friendship") Well, yes, Allah with him with Iran (and he is officially admitted to the SCO) Be kind ... explain ... why Russia should recognize the legitimacy of the government of Afghanistan (Taliban) ... Now contact has been established with them ... we talked to them ... and how much I I understand ... the Kremlin (and not only) has taken a wait-and-see attitude (and where to hurry) ... after all, the East is a delicate matter ...

[hrych]

Because they won

[Shket53]

They won ... yes, I agree with you, they seized power, yes, they threw the Yankes out by the scruff, yes (and they did the right thing) .... But to hold on to power, and even more so to TAKE power into our own hands ... here is a controversial issue. This requires at least the recognition of the world community, and that is precisely why the Taliban now need a breakthrough in relations with Russia. And it is no secret that consultations are now underway between Russia and China, Iran ... on the one hand .... and Pakistan (and he is very interested, after all, the Taliban, a product of the Pakistani intelligence service ISI) on the other hand. Yes, there is also Turkey trying to get in, with its main sponsor Qatar. And who lives in Qatar ... that's right ... a very interesting Sheikh (I won't mention his name) ... and by the way, this Sheikh has declared the Russian Federation three times ... Jihad ... ever since the first Chechen campaigns ... and very, even very well sponsored Dudaev's militants (and not only him, there are Saudis, Turks, Yankes, and all this rag called "Shitty Geyropa") As you can see there (in Afghanistan) such a tangle of mutually exclusive contradictions ... what is called "must see." Moreover, it is very good to look so as not to fall into this "swamp" twice. Sincerely

You have a strange perception of reality.

The Taliban and Tajiks are historically very wary of each other, to put it mildly.
1. Tajiks will not stand under the flags of the Taliban.
2. The Taliban do not need expansion across the border to Tajikistan. They have things to do in Afghanistan.

Why were the forces transferred there, most likely the Afghan Tajiks are not very loyal to the provisional Taliban government, perhaps support is being provided to the Masud gang or there are emissaries from him who recruit volunteers among the Afghan Tajiks to the Masud gang. Then it turns out that it is the Taliban who are conducting a counter-terrorist operation in Afghanistan.

Why did they strain in Tajikistan and at our base. They are doing everything right. The Taliban can frighten off terrorists and they will try to flee to the territory of Tajikistan. If a mess begins in this Afghan province, then there will be refugees who will flee to Tajikistan, terrorists can enter with them.

The Taliban are not dangerous by themselves, but their presence and activity near Tajikistan can have negative side effects that you need to be prepared for.

The greatest and most real danger is probably the internal threat in Tajikistan, radicals among the local population or sleeping cells, disgruntled clans who would like to shake the government.

Therefore, increased readiness is needed. Only this is not against the Taliban.

[Grandfather Luka]

Alternatively, the Taliban want to avoid a possible conflict with the CSTO, and in order to avoid possible provocations from the relevant interested parties, they strengthen their control of the border territories.

[Shket53]

Perhaps you are right ... and that would be a very correct move on their part ... just ... it's hard to believe so far. Or maybe ... they are cleaning the bridgehead ... before the dive into Central Asia. As they say "everything is possible in Afghanistan"

[kytx]

As the above correctly noted, the Taliban have enough of their affairs in Afghanistan, they are now not up to throwing somewhere there

[l7yzo]

Moreover, they cut off the opportunity for their opponents to escape from Afghanistan through Tajikistan. So to speak, they slammed the lid.
And it will be interesting - when in Afghanistan there is no full order in 3-4 months. In principle, it will be clear that if it is needed, they can calm down, find and restrain anyone)

they are secular people.

Have you decided to exclude the possibility of the return of the Afghan military, who allegedly fled to Tajikistan, some in military equipment, including planes and turntables? They will not dare to attack, but there will be no movement either. It is not clear just why so many of them were thrown? Yes, you see mattresses not only left the technique, if the perfume is full sets of their form.

[Cowbra]

Yes, even in the West, many say that this is all similar to the procedure for arming new Mujahideen at the expense of the US budget. Actually, the Taliban are probably the most equipped army in that region now. Pakistan, of course, has nuclear weapons, but their infantry - at times looks like a homeless person.

In this province, Afghan Tajiks are not loyal to the Taliban. If it is supposed to find the armed units of the former Afghan military - the Massud members, then they will resist. The local population can join if they see the weakness of the Taliban.

Therefore, a large number of questions, if they arise, can be solved quickly and without options.

I hope they all fall there. Since the movement is terrorist, then all who are in it are terrorists. And with a terrorist there can be no peace, no neighborhood - only Primitive Destruction to the last person. Terrorism has no future.

Questions, questions, questions ... Troubled questions. But in this situation, we can only wait and prepare.

The DPRK special forces do not have such a successful combat experience of guerrilla warfare against the United States and counter-guerrilla warfare in Panjshir. During the Korean War, the communist guerrilla movement was quickly defeated. All attempts to renew the guerrilla war in South Korea for the DPRK special forces ended in failure with heavy losses. In the south, in the Pashtun regions, neighbors are firing at each other, throwing grenades, raiding Pakistan to capture captives. Compared to the situation there, the struggle against the underground in Western Ukraine and the Baltic states in the late 1940s, or against separatists in Chechnya, does not look too tense.

Each army decides for itself who is considered a spetsnaz and who is a simple infantry.
By the way, in the USA the construction battalion is considered to be "special forces".

Miracle! It is worth putting on an American uniform and you will immediately become not just a special forces soldier, but an ELITE SPECIAL FORCES!
However, the good Americans left a lot of clothes.

Perhaps this is just mobilized youth from Kabul. They would not want to fight, but it will be difficult for them to get rid of the war or the rank of cool special forces.

[Generator Systems]

In general, this was to be expected, guess on one try who will harness to defend the borders of Tajikistan

[Iris]

We need to strengthen our troop grouping. Tajikistan must feel our strength and our interest in preserving peace on the Central Asian site of the former USSR.
It is in this - strength - that, for the most part, the whole "subtlety" of the East lies.

[CommanderDIVA]

Most likely, this Taliban special forces will be used to guard the Afghan-Tajik section of the border, in the north of Afghanistan where mainly Tajiks live, who have family and other ties with compatriots in Tajikistan, so the decision is correct, maybe drug traffic from Afghanistan to Central Asian countries will decrease

[Cucumbers]

The Taliban are like non-brothers nationalists. Abolished the Uzbek language as the state language. We took into account the experience of our opponents. They are now preparing for a possible uprising. There is no need to rush to recognize them. Everything is going much worse than it seemed before

[riwas]

Ours conducted major exercises on the border with Afghanistan, after which "... thousands" of special forces of the Islamic Emirate (the name of Afghanistan from the Taliban) were sent to Takhar province. According to him, special forces units in the province are "deployed" to "eliminate security threats "."
Threat Race. Although ours, remembering the past experience, decided to overdo it.

[nobody75]

This special forces is needed to cover the already thin trickle of "substances" going to Tajikistan ... And for Rakhmonov, trade in substances is a state-forming business. And he will fight for him until the last Tajik - "volunteer".
