im telling that the US hired russian pilots to teach them how to fly the russian aircraft that the US bought them for the afghan army. We also bought them a shitload of soviet equipment...AKs, Helos, and other stuff. so we also hired soviet consultants/contractors to teach the afghans how to use it. I was a contractor from 2010-2013 in AFG. I dont think the russian pilots were supposed to be where they were but i didnt ask any questions. I dont even know what type of helo it was, all i know is that it sucked to fly in and it got me back to KAF. if you spent any time in AFG, there were a lot of shit going on that people didnt know about or didnt pay attention to.....for instance, why was there a delegation from MEXICO in Kabul? dafuq does mexico have to do with afghanistan.....could it be opium...naaawww it couldnt be. PM me if you want to know if im bullshitting.
Interesting thanks for sharing and keep em coming
