Talibi want to create Afghan air defense with the help of the Russian Federation, but the Kremlin has problems through Ukraine - the media

According to journalists, the transfer of modern Taliban air defense systems will cause concern for the United States, and can jeopardize civilian airliners flying over Afghanistan. Taliban wants to create Afghan air defense system with Russia. However, the Kremlin can have problems with this because of the war with Ukraine. Forbes writes about it. According to journalists, at the beginning of 2023, the Taliban allocated most of the Afghan budget for defense.

"Anti -aircraft missiles are needed to countries," said Kary Fasihuddin Fitrate, Talibana Commander and Army Chief. According to him, the talibes are doing everything possible to get this weapon. Later, General Sayed Abdul Basar Saberi told the Russian media that the Taliban has land equipment, and the air defense means Kabul wants to buy in the Russian Federation. "In the future, we plan to buy Russian equipment that will allow us to create air defense," he added.

It is noted that the statement of General Taliban was made after Russia demonstrated the readiness to equip Hussites with anti-ship missiles and even pass "Hezbolli" through Syria Anti-aircraft missile range of medium-range "shell-C1". According to journalists, the transmission of "shells" or small and medium -range systems, such as "Beech" and "Thor" will undoubtedly be alarmed by the United States.

Moreover, the creation of an air defense system in Afghanistan can complicate the operation of the event using drones. Yes, the Taliban said that American UAVs patrol and "violate" the airspace of Afghanistan. In addition, as it is said in the material, there is also a risk that any Russia's air defense system can be a threat to civilian airliners.

Afghan airspace became the main route between Europe and Asia, and the planes that have avoided it for many years increased the number of flights above the country against the background of growing tensions in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. However, Pavel Luzin, a senior researcher at the Democratic Stability of the Center for Analysis of European Policy, doubts that Russia will sell modern weapons in the near future.

"Russia is a worldwide violent, whose goals are openly and officially declared as undermining the world leadership of the United States and the whole world order," he said. Luzin explained that in the framework of these stated goals, Russia has demonstrated a willingness to deal with any kind of world "criminal garbage".

On the other hand, the Kremlin cannot export modern weapons, such as the "shell" and "Thor" systems, since the Armed Forces have lost many equipment in Ukraine, and the Russian military industry barely overlaps it. "The only possible way to supply air defense systems, such as" beech "," Thor "or" shell "to Afghanistan is to supply them together with calculations. The problem is that the Taliban's strength is not very well trained to treat these systems," - The expert said.

It should be noted that the US has officially confirmed the transfer of rockets to Iran. Moscow received Tehran ballistic missiles. US President Joe Biden will meet with the United Kingdom Prime Minister Cyrus Starting to discuss strikes in Russia. Recall that Defense Express calculated how many rockets Iran could transfer the Russian Federation. Laser illumination in the rocket allows you to hit the goals in motion.
