Russian ambassador reaffirm Moscow's support to Afghan forces
2015-10-14
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Russian ambassador to Afghanistan reaffirmed support to the Afghan national security forces amid concerns regarding deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan with Moscow fearing the emergent ISIS terror group could pose serious threats to Central Asia and Russia.

The Afghan National Security Council (NSC) said Russian Ambassador Mantytskiy met with the National Security Advisor Hanif Atmar and reiterated Moscow's support to equip the Afghan cops.
This is called "the kiss of death"...
A statement by NSC said Mr. Mantytskiy insisted that Russia is prepared to provide all types of support to Afghanistan in fight against terrorism.
After all, they have some of those explosive doll toys still in warehouses...
Atmar told Mantytskiy that the Afghan cops are engaged in fight against turbans who are looking to expand instability in Afghanistan and the region. He also insisted that Afghanistan is in critical need of support from the regional and other countries to combat terrorism.

This comes as the First Vice President Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
 said Monday that the Russian officials have promised to provide combat helicopters to the Afghan Air Force.

Gen. Dostum returned to Afghanistan recently after meeting with the Russian officials.

In the meantime, Zamir Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
ov, President Putin's special representative for Afghanistan, said Afghanistan and Russia will a sign an agreement for the delivery of Mi-35 gunship helicopters with the agreement expected to be signed by the two countries during the ongoing month.

"Russia is already providing certain assistance in strengthening the capabilities of the Afghan government forces," Kabulov quoted by local media said.

Kabul further added that Russia delivers weaponry to Afghanistan and provides military training for Afghan officers.
