Even if it happens it wont work, Food products is exported by Pakistan to Afghanistan in large quantity and roads are repaired to handle the flood of goods, Their own agricultural industry will kick in soonish, Iran and central asian countries have no problem with Afghanistan in trade.
IEA don't give a shit about anyone bitching, Oil import agreement with Iran is an example of it.

Some of the black hawk helicopters & MI 17 are already repaired by IEA.
IEA also told Uzbekistan to hand back the helicopters and airplanes, 50 in total and all of them are intact.

Russian origin helicopters and airplanes can be repaired with the help of Russian, Sure not soon but my be in time as Russian embassy is operational in Kabul. Cannibalization wont be needed.

Black hawks that are damaged or any US origin equipment can be repaired by Turkey if there is a desire, IF not China produces a copy of Black hawk some concession can be arranged.

Dear twitter political pundits.


The $83 billion number is not invented out of whole cloth. But it reflects all the money spent to train, equip and house the Afghan military and police — so weapons are just a part of that. At this point, no one really knows the value of the equipment that was seized by the Taliban.

The $83 billion figure — technically, $82.9 billion — comes from an estimate in the July 30 quarterly report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) for all spending on the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund since the U.S. invasion in 2001.

The SIGAR report shows that 167 aircraft out of an inventory of 211 were usable — but the Afghan Air Force (AAF) still lacked enough qualified pilots. One issue was that the Taliban targeted pilots for assassination.

Even more problematic, there were not enough maintenance crews to maintain the aircraft. “Without continued contractor support, none of the AAF’s airframes can be sustained as combat effective for more than a few months, depending on the stock of equipment parts in-country, the maintenance capability on each airframe, and the timing of contractor support withdrawal,” the report said.
With great fanfare, the Taliban has seized a number of Black Hawk helicopters, including ones that the United States had just shipped this year at the request of former Afghan president Ashraf Ghani. But only the first crew of Black Hawk mechanics had been trained, so the military “can field no more than one UH-60 per night for helicopter missions,” SIGAR said.
