They border the greatest parts counterfeiters on the planet,     have pallets of $ and will be continuously bought off in the near future.    It's a huge FU to the USA to keep those UH-60's flying.

I have a friend that posted this picture a while ago (now deleted) that said there were lots of executions happening in Afghanistan right now. He's a Retired Ranger and I have no idea where he's getting his information (and I'm not saying it's accurate) but I wouldn't be surprised.

We should just implement a three week campaign where we sweep the skies of anything flying and all other equipment gets destroyed on the ground.

The only exception should be equipment that the new Northern Alliance would be able to utilize.

Well I'm pretty sure some, or most of the people our military trained to fly, and maintain those aircraft are now working with the talliban.

He's just up there by himself, I guess he coulda waved at folks on the ground. We had 4 of them up a few times, waving at folks on the ground, some of which weren't too happy about their MJ getting chopped up by machete.

That's true. There were Afghan pilots, but the air crews were pathetic.  Plus, they don't have access to the parts they'll need nor the ability to manufacture them and replace them themselves.

All those aircraft will be rusting away in a year's time.  Although some of the Russian helicopters may stay operational for awhile, but very few.

I expect the amount of spare parts Pakistan orders for theirs will mysteriously increase.  China would pay to keep these flying just as a fuck you to us.

It's not. But it's easy for an ANA pilot trained by the US to fly one at Taliban gunpoint.

No gunpoint involved, The ANA pilots just switch side. All of them switched sides, they was just in it for the paycheck.

The talliban had 20 years to plan this out and get people planted, and trained.

If you told me at the start of the invasion that just before the 20th anniversary of 9/11 the Taliban would drive America out and be flying around in Blackhawks I never would have believed it. I thought the US backed Northern Alliance had the Taliban on the run in the first few months and it would be over in less than a year.

Those who believe the taliban won't figure out how to fly the UH60's, and won't be able to repair them, find maintenance techs, or find parts, are delusional. Even so, having 30+ UH60's won't make them any stronger, but it's a damn good PR win.

I am sure they can get them started and fly them. The real test will be to keep them flying. American military helicopters are maintenance hogs.  The big mistake is the US Military was it didn’t strip out the stability augmentation systems or at least corrupt the software.

Push it to the limitWalk along the razor's edge
But don't look down just keep your head, or you'll be finished
Open up the limit
Past the point of no return
Reached the top, but still you gotta learn how to keep it
Hit the wheel and double the stakes
Throttle wide open like a bat outta hell
You could crash the gates (crash the gates)
Going for the back of beyond
Nothing gonna stop you, there's nothing that's wrong
So close now you're nearly at the brink
So push it, ooh yeah
Welcome to the limit (the limit)
Take it baby, one step more
The power game's still playing so you better win it
Push it to the limit (the limit)
With no one left to stand in your way
You might get careless, but you'll never be safe
While you're still livin'
Welcome to the limit (the limit)
Standing on the razor's edge
So don't look down just keep your head, or you'll be finished
Welcome to the limit
Push it to the limit, hey!
