The "unidentified" aviation that supports IG militants in Afghanistan can be found by the owners: experts "Utra" saw them with their own eyes.

The Russian Foreign Ministry reported on regularly arriving data on flights in various parts of Afghanistan (IRA) of "unidentified" aircraft seen to support local ISHL militants. These were observed in Jauzjan, Faryab, Sari-Pul, where there were recorded cases of dropping from the planes without identification signs of boxes with weapons and other supplies for the units of IGIL. "The representative of the provincial council of the southern province of Ghazni also publicly stated the presence of helicopters without proper marking on the territories controlled by the terrorists of the counties of Vagaz and Hogyani," the report says..

However, even against the backdrop of an anti-Russian campaign in a number of Afghan and Western media accusing Russia of supporting the Taliban, neither the NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg nor the head of the US Department of Defense's Intelligence Directorate Stewart has any evidence to this effect. "This raises a natural question to the above-mentioned representatives of NATO and the US: what do they know about the so-called unidentified aviation in the IRA - the country where the US and NATO military contingent has been based for more than 15 years, and the Afghan Air Force is chronically experiencing Shortage of serviceable air equipment and qualified flight personnel? "- are interested in Russian diplomats.

Military expert, deputy director of the Institute of CIS countries Vladimir Evseev (who recently returned from Afghanistan and witnessed some events) states: something similar is happening in the province of Herat, but there is no doubt that the "assistants" belong to them.

In this province, the influence of Iran is historically strong, so the US is showing considerable activity there too, explained the expert "Utru". In Herat, there are consulates general of Iran, Turkey, Turkmenistan, India and the United States - the latter does not deal with consular functions, but focuses exclusively on gathering intelligence information.

"In order to counter the Iranian influence in the province of Herat, the Americans actually produce helicopter landing there on the territories controlled by the radicals," B. Evseev. It came to the point that civilians appealed to the leadership of the province with a request to prevent such flights. The governor promised to conduct an investigation.

The expert recalled: for years the United States negotiated with the Taliban in Doha (Qatar, the headquarters of the Taliban), but the talks ended in failure. The Americans wanted to achieve some settlement of the situation in Afghanistan, but the Taliban exposed very tough and uncompromising conditions, in particular, on Guantanamo and other points. As a result, the Americans stopped negotiations in Doha, but the dialogue with the Taliban as a whole continued, with the participation of China and Pakistan.

Apparently, these negotiations were not successful, but, taking into account the accumulated experience, it can be assumed that the States with the Taliban have a rich relationship, the analyst notes.. In addition, until a certain period, the late 90's. , The States successfully cooperated with this movement, wishing that the Taliban would ensure the security of gas supplies from Turkmenistan to India and Pakistan within the framework of the TAPI project. Then the Americans fought against the Taliban, then again started looking for opportunities for cooperation, and now this is not surprising - it fits perfectly into the policy pursued by the White House in Afghanistan, said the expert..

At the same time, the Taliban are different: the IG that exists in Afghanistan (about 8,000 militants) is largely represented by Taliban militants for money (the "Islamic state" pays more than other organizations). US contacts with radicals and dislodging weapons in the province of Herat expert observed personally. Whether the "Taliban" or the Taliban, who fought in the "Islamic state", was said to be difficult to say, it is difficult to say, but the US has motives in either case, and the loud statements about the forthcoming victory over the IG in Afghanistan - nonsense.

"The goals of defeating the" Islamic state "they do not put anywhere, not in Syria, nor in Iraq, nor in Afghanistan. States need to somehow justify their presence in these countries. Their military presence is determined by the presence of an "Islamic state" - as long as there is an IG, the United States is needed, and therefore they are not going to win it. In addition, the US is ready to supply weapons to the radicals (in t. IG) to fight pro-Iranian forces in Afghanistan, it is quite possible, "the expert notes..

To hide their cooperation with the radicals, the US is trying to blame Russia for supporting the Taliban. "They accuse the Russian Federation of supplying weapons to the Taliban, although they themselves do this on a regular basis. But the Afghan government, to make it more docile, does not deliver aviation equipment and extremely limited restores available. In this respect, Americans are leading an absolutely unscrupulous policy in Afghanistan: the purpose of their presence is not to fight the Taliban or the IG, but to create threats to China, "the analyst concluded..
