Với 48 máy bay trong tay, Taliban giờ còn nhiều máy bay hơn 1 số thành viên Nato,
Ngoài ra trong số 73 máy bay được phía Mỹ công bố đã vô hiệu hóa khả năng vẫn có thể phục hồi được một số vì không bị phá hủy mà chỉ bị "vô hiệu hóa"...
The Afghan Air Force was operating 167 aircraft, including 108 helicopters and 59 planes, according to an official US government inspection on June 30.
However, Uzbekistan confirmed that 46 Afghan aircraft, including 24 helicopters, had arrived in the country before the fall of Kabul.
General Frank McKenzie, the US general in charge of evacuation efforts, said that his troops were able to dismantle 73 aircraft before finally leaving the country on Monday night, marking the end of a two-decade-long crusade.
"Those aircraft will never fly again... They'll never be able to be operated by anyone," said McKenzie. "Most of them are non-mission capable, to begin with. But certainly, they'll never be able to be flown again."
That leaves as many as 48 aircraft in Taliban possession.
The Taliban now have more aerial equipment than ten of the thirty Nato members, including Albania, Bosnia, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Slovenia.
