Afghan Air Force destroy bomb making factory of Taliban in Kandahar
2016-04-20
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan Air Force (AAF) planes have destroyed a bomb making factory of the Taliban group in southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the Arclight airstrike was carried out in Shahwali Kot district of Kandahar during an operation involving Special Operation Forces of the Afghan Army.

A statement by MoD said military equipment and explosives were stored in the factory which were all destroyed in the raid.

The Afghan Air Force (AAF) has stepped up counter-terrorism operations against the bully boy groups who are trying to expand insurgency activities across the country.

The Taliban-led insurgency has been rampant since the group announced its spring offensive earlier last week and vowed to carry out more attacks across the country.

The AAF flew 83 missions in the past 24 hours with the newly added A-29 Super Tucanos playing a key role in providing close-air support to the Afghan Forces, the defense officials said last week.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter awoke groggily, his hand still stuck in the Ming vase...
the Afghan armed forces have started operating ScanEagle Unmanned Aerial Vehicle to conduct surveillance operations which is expected to further boost the intelligence gathering of the Afghan forces.
