The U.S. Department of Defense announced on Friday an agreement worth about for $34 million for logistics support for the Afghanistan Air Force MD-530F aircraft fleet.

Within the deal, which was a modification to a previous contract, MD Helicopters Inc. will perform support of Afghanistan’s MD-530F light attack and reconnaissance helicopters.

Work will be performed in Mesa, Arizona; and Kabul, Afghanistan, with an estimated completion date of May 31, 2021.
The MD-530F is an evolution of the fabled OH-6 Cayuse light observation helicopter, known for speed, safety, agility and the ability to operate with ease in confined spaces, the Armed MD-530F Light Scout Attack Helicopter delivers increased operational capabilities, greater mission versatility and superior performance in the execution of a broad range of mission profiles.

Adaptable to support a wide range of training and operational missions, the MD-530F Cayuse Warrior offers a safe and efficient crew environment and mission training skills that will positively transfer to other platforms.

Look , the Taliban is gaining grounds everywhere across-the country, even with full US support the ANA is not winning, there are repeated plans to reduce US commitments in the country because the US is now more focused on China. Don't know how they are going to sustain those expensive toys Washington gave em.

The future looks bleak for the country I must say.
