The militants of the Taliban movement banned in Russia continue their active offensive on the cities. Kunduz also fell. The remnants of the government garrison retreated to the airfield. Those who did not have time to evacuate, surrendered to the militants. And they occupied the airfield, having received trophies. The Taliban had a Mi-35 helicopter in their hands.
This is written by military expert Yuri Lyamin. And he explains that this Mi-35 is one of the rotorcraft that India bought and repaired in the Republic of Belarus, and then presented to Afghanistan. It was in 2019.
The blades were removed from the helicopter, as can be seen in the video. The author suggests that there may have been problems with the helicopter, but the military did not want to lose it.
Over the past six days, 9 administrative centers out of 34 have fallen in Afghanistan. Somewhere they are surrendering without a fight, somewhere the military tried to resist, but were broken.
