        We need to consider the issue in the Russian Duma and in the Ukrainian Rada about non-lethal technical assistance to the Free Afghan Army - walkie-talkies, SUVs, medicines. laughing



        As a result of terrorist attacks in Afghanistan killed 7 US Army personnel. This was reported by the NBC channel.

        Five people died May 4 from a bomb planted on the side of the road. Two American soldiers were shot by a soldier in the Afghan army. In just a week in Afghanistan, according to ITAR-TASS, 19 American soldiers were killed.

        Currently, over 60 thousand US troops are deployed in Afghanistan. Washington plans to withdraw the bulk of the contingent from this country by the end of 2014.

          That's right, otherwise some of us are like the Kiev prince Mstislav, during the Battle of Kalka, but they don’t think about the consequences, but it’s worth thinking about it - how will all this "booze" pour out for our country ...

        oh duraaaak .... Do you think they forgot the words of Sergei Ivanov, said at the end of 2001 that we had been helping the Northern Alliance with weapons for a long time? And all this was voiced as if in a state of euphoria amid the then military successes of the Americans and S. Alliance. Well, we remember how smoothly everything went at first.

        German commandos killed in Afghanistan



        In Afghanistan, a German soldier died, another injured. On Saturday, May 4, a group of army men - it included Afghan soldiers and soldiers of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) - was fired upon by militants. The incident occurred in the northern province of Baghlan, ITAR-TASS said. How many Taliban died is unknown. Most likely, several militants were killed. None of the civilians were injured in the attack. The head of the German Defense Ministry said that the deceased military served in an elite special forces unit.

        Earlier in Afghanistan, seven American soldiers died.

        Since 2002, 53 German troops have died in Afghanistan. The last such case was recorded in 2011. Now in Afghanistan serve more than 4 thousand soldiers and officers of the Bundeswehr. They are deployed at military bases in Mazar-i-Sharif and Kunduz.

      No need to rejoice so briskly - you need to study and learn while there is time. Here is an example of advanced technology (drones, increased protection against detonation, etc.) but it is worth going beyond the boundaries of the RPM and losses go.
      In the wrong direction, comrades. The priority task of our military-industrial complex is the development of a mobile scanner for remote detection of explosives. Some meters on 50.

        The saddest thing is that such a "scanner" was developed back in the USSR on the basis of laser technologies, so here it is necessary not to invent, but to bring it to mind and mass production. This is where Rogozin needs to turn around.

        And now we are reasoning logically, that is, let’s say militants settled in Kizlyar or Gudermes on the territory of Russia, we raise a pair of Su-27s and carry this quarter right? smile
        The fact of the matter is that the Americans are bombing a foreign country ALIEN, if for the first time it is incomprehensible and acting with impunity, in Afghanistan, in Pakistan. And on the drum how many civilians will die there and how many houses they will destroy.



        Afghan President Hamid Karzai admitted that he received money from the CIA for the past ten years. According to him, the sums were small and were spent "on good deeds." Earlier, the influential newspaper The New York Times circulated a statement by a member of the Karzai administration, according to whom the intelligence service transferred large amounts of cash to the president every month "in suitcases and plastic bags." At the same time, the source noted that he did not have any information about the transfer of money to Karzai personally. However, the president did not deny that such a practice really existed.

        "They were used for different purposes: for operations, for victim assistance, for rent and much more," Karzai said. "It was effective assistance, and we appreciate it." According to publications, most of the money went to the covert war with al-Qaeda, and in itself was a significant factor of influence on the Afghan establishment - the money was distributed between Karzai and prominent political and military figures, including those tainted with ties to the drug trade.
