E,you can keep playing games. You know Afghanistan did Not buy the equipment
This is fundamentally incorrect as there are multiple written agreements of arms purchase between the US and the recognized Afghan Government representatives. Now to be fair, some of it was given away as we were not going to haul back all of our 20 year old sh!t.
When I was in Afghanistan we had to etch-in serial numbers provided by the DoD on specified equipment because the Afghan Government had purchased identical equipment. Specifically under the 2002 Supplemental Appropriations Act, by actions through the FMF (Foreign Military Financing) and I still have a copy of this particular arms agreement, as well as all of the assigned serial numbers from the DoD.
Did you know the DoD hasn't even been maintaining those UH-60's for years? I could put you in direct contact with the President of the contracting firm that has been maintaining them, maybe he could enlighten you to who owns, and is paying for, those things to be airworthy.
Could you tell me how many aircraft made it to Uzbekistan and who brought it there? I can, and guess who doesn't own any of it? The US Government. Why? Because they were sold to the Afghan Government and were removed by US trained Afghan military. What have you seen from all of your zero time in Afghanistan that would indicate the Afghan Government "did Not buy the equipment?"
