Why should India Not Knock JF 17 Aircraft / Give Air Cover to Panchshir Valley . Sukoi 30 from Tajikistan could target them on BVR??
And where do you expect them to take-off from with sufficient weapon loads? Don't tell me Ayni air base since that is long closed. Ayni was a helicopter base with Mi-17s and Mi-35s of the IAF. Both these helicopters are long back in India and are not deployed overseas, except for UN missions and to-and-fro transport missions between designated points.

We are not in a position to get involved in a civil wars without having nearby supply lines. If we had control over POK, we had a big chance to cross into Afghanistan through the Wakhan corridor. Our government is shitting bricks in taking out even the NSCN, and you are talking about aiding the Masoods in a war by crossing over a hostile country.

The Su-30 MKI may have the range to fly and do missions there, but it needs a closer base to re-supply; and I am not even talking about the issue of crossing over Paki territory to reach Panjshir valley. You don't need me to know what the PAF would think if they see MKIs flying in their airspace.

Huge blast in Kabul..300 killed

Probably the Pakis using ISIS to get back at the Taliban. There's always an ISKP bomb blast in Afghanistan after tensions rise between the Taliban and Pakis. Their Taliban project has failed spectacularly as the TTP and Afghan Taliban are practically the same organization. The irony is the Taliban is giving the same rhetoric to the pakis regarding TTP as pakis used to give US and India regarding their terror groups, i.e "We don't support them", "They aren't here", "You have no proof". etc etc. LOL I guess Karma spares no one. These blasts are only going to piss off the Taliban, and afghans in general more, as they all know who's behind it, and will make them escalate against the pakis in KPK, and even support BLA.

Taliban-ruled Afghanistan debuted their first indigenously built supercar that they are calling Mada 9. The car is still in the prototype stage, and it took more than five years to develop the supercar. The development was led by at least 30 engineers from ENTOP and Kabul’s Afghanistan Technical Vocational Institute (ATVI).

The prototype Mada 9 is powered by a modified Toyota Corolla engine. Performance figures are yet to be revealed, however, Ghulam Haider Shahamat, the head of ATVI told Afghanistan’s TOLO news that the modification has been made in such a manner that if you increase the speed of the car, the engine will be powerful enough to take it. Later on, ENTOP will fit the Mada 9 with an electric powertrain.

While unveiling the car yesterday at the ENTOP headquarters, Taliban’s Higher Education Minister, Abdul Baqi Haqqani stated how the car was going to prove the Taliban regime’s commitment to providing ‘religion and modern sciences for its people’.


Adding on to that, ENTOP’s (the car manufacturer) CEO, Mohammad Riza Ahmadi told TOLO news that the supercar will “convey the value of knowledge to the people" which in turn will help boost the image of Afghanistan on the world stage.
