Since the beginning of the Taliban’s advance throughout Afghanistan, Afghan soldiers have been forced to cross borders with neighboring countries for several times to escape from the militants.
On August 15th, 84 Afghan soldiers crossed the border with Uzbekistan, asking for assistance. The Afghan marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum was among them. He left the country after the city of Mazar-I-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province, was captured by the Taliban. Mazar-I-Sharif was the last government stronghold in the northern Afghanistan.
Amid the ongoing chaos in Afghanistan, it may be supposed that the aircraft crashed over the territory of Uzbekistan when the Afghan servicemen were trying to flee the country that is now under the Taliban’s control.
Yep … right after Trumps reinstatement ceremony which will be attended by Santa Clause, the Joint Chiefs and Elvis.
Understand what just happened in Afghanistan. There is no resistance to support. The Afghan Army gave up without a fight because the majority of Afghans prefer the Taliban to the corrupt regime the USA put in power. They let the Taliban walk into Kabul and sit down and negotiate a peaceful transfer of power.
You’ll notice that it’s the NATO countries that are scrambling to get out of Afghanistan … Russia, China, iran and Pakistan are still in kabul operating their embassies. They knew what was coming … they planned the transition of power with the Taliban … NATO, the USA and the CIA didn’t have a clue.
There are no frontlines, assembly areas or troop concentrations to bomb or resistance to support. There is no air space US bombers can transit to get to Afghanistan once US personel are evacuated … and your lucky the Pakistani were generous enough to allow you to use their airspace.
Sure they will LOL!!
They fled and run out of fuel…
False information, it was shot down by Uzb. RT: Uzbekistan says it shot down Afghan military plane that violated its borders, amid exodus of government officials from Kabul.
Correction, it was shot down by the air defense forces.
Got it over border and ran the fuel tanks dry?!

Thanks for response and update info.
CORRECT YOUR TITLE SOUTH FRONT. RT: Uzbekistan says it shot down Afghan military plane that violated its borders, amid exodus of government officials from Kabul.
“A plane believed to be carrying fleeing Afghan military personnel was shot down by Uzbekistan’s air-defense system after it crossed into the neighboring nation’s airspace, officials in the capital, Tashkent, revealed on Monday.”
“A spokesman for the Uzbek Defense Ministry told RIA Novosti that, on Sunday night, “the air defense forces of the Air Force of Uzbekistan suppressed an attempt to illegally cross the air border of Uzbekistan by an Afghan military aircraft.”
It was shot down by Uzb.
Yes, that’s what I saw on Twitter. The pilots failed to identify themselves.
I saw that on RT somewhere assuming it is the same plane which it most likely is.
You have gone 100% Hollywood, I see.
It is chaos at Kabul airport. US Army is shooting the civialians there to control the crowd. Apparently people attach to US army transport plains, and are falling from the sky. That’s how US is treating their collaborators, so watch and learn, and never ally with US.
So far the Taliban are being merciful to the enemy.
You can bet your life that if the situation were reveresed and the Taliban were concentrated and in disaray at the airport the Americans and British would bomb the absolute hell out of them.
They would not care a dot about civilian casualties – they would put down the massive loss of life to “Collateral Damage” – as they have for the last 20 years in countless cowardly attacks.
Your Nazi worship ate your brain?
No,that is not the truth,for starters the mongrel incest jewish gimp,lost the war,despite all advantages, get over it turdson,you are lost,broken all up and self defeated,not future in fascism nor lgbtq(period)

Ahmad Shah Massoud’s son, Ahmad Massoud calls for the fight against the Taliban from the Panshir region of Afghanistan, I hope their futile resistance will be failed and destroyed. let the Taliban’s enemies fall to the ground all of them.
