Plane does not equal pilot. Did they also leave flight simulators and instructors?
Like Iran, you may have some snazzy new jets and choppers, but if you dont have the spare parts to keep them in the air, it won't help you. May also help to have a mechanic or 12 that is trained on how to install those parts.
A bigger threat is all the small arms, body armor, and the easier to use ground vehicles.
Obviously you completely over looked the fact that these aircraft will now be sent to China, Russia, and who knows where else to be reverse engineered giving the enemy an inside, first hand look at how they work and how to beat them.
Maybe you should spend more time helping out instead of trying to slam everyone else's post.
That is an obvious conclusion, thank you for sharing.
The OP was pointing out they now have the 26th largest air force in the world. I really like the photo btw.
How is my pointing out there is a good chance they won't get them off the ground a slam?
Iran got a bunch of F-14s a while back. People fear mongered the crap out of that, until wiser people than both of us pointed out the obvious: they were incredibly complex and required near constant maintenance from a crack maintenance crew.
And, when they got them they came with no spare parts.
I see a similar situation soon to develop here. History repeats when lessons aren't learned.
You are correct, though, less likely the Taliban will use them, more likely sell them to Russia and China.
That picture is pretty wholesome.
Two things to note:
