Afghan air force was lethal before the Soviet war, equipped with latest Soviet-made jets. It was that your meddling due to that which caused their entire infrastructure and society collapse. And its fruit is what you're bearing today.

Regarding AAF composition, their main providers are US, Brazil and Russia in terms of weapons, fighters and helicopters. The LAS program to provide Brazilian EMB-314s (also called A-29) light attack turboprop jets, the Mi-17 transport helicopters, Russian and American small arms, refurbished C-27 transport aircraft etc etc are all provided and funded by NATO forces.

And you're taking our name when we've not even started supplying them with anything serious. AAF has a budget of $11-12 million. Allow them to mature financially and us materially before blaming us, will you?

Essentially non-combative as of now. Transports and tactical air lifts mainly with attack helicopters (Mi-35s). It will take some time by the time they're able to acquire fixed wing fighter jets on their own.

AAF was quite impressive. It looks, AAF had the capability to cause pain in a** and was comparable to any good air force of that time.
