Might of the Taliban Air Force: Islamists now have 48 aircraft including Black Hawks and A-29 attack planes after US retreat left them with more air power than many NATO nations
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Jihadists have seized several major airbases, in Herat, Khost, Kunduz and Mazar-i-Sharif, and Kabul
- They have proudly posted pictures of seized $6m Black Hawks and a $14m Hercules transport jet
- The Taliban have been hunting for pilots from the disbanded Afghan Air Force to fly the vehicles
Have they, indeed? An opportunity for someone...
- Before Kabul fell, planes and helicopters were disabled by US troops, while others were flown overseas
- The jihadists have as many as 48 aircraft - it's not clear how many planes or helicopters this breaks down to
- This is more aircraft than a third of Nato member states, including: Albania, Bosnia, Estonia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Slovenia
