The Americans failure to provide any combat capability to the Afghan airforce is mind boggleing.<br /> The US should cut the red tape on this fight over the Tucano and Beech trainer / light attack airplane. Buy a dozen of each for Afghanistan and then we can see which is the superior aircraft in combat. Then buy ten Hind attack helicopters from Russia. Convert two of the C27 cargo planes into COIN gunships. Last but still very important. Purchase a squadron of light combat / trainer jets for the Afghanistan airforce. The L-159 or the Korean T/A 50 would be good for this role. Without combat air capability the Afghan military will fold after the US goes home. Too late for the blame game after that happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4278498572152037468.post-55537194263365231132012-03-18T08:21:00.124-07:002012-03-18T08:21:00.124-07:00China should provide the Afghanistan Airforce with...China should provide the Afghanistan Airforce with ten JL 8 Jet trainers. NATO and the US have fallen short by not providing Afghanistan with any combat capable aircraft and China could establish closer relations to Afghanistan by making up this neglected important need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
