[edit] What the hell
Afghanistan needs a strong Air Force .. since United States is the primary country training the Military , why dosnt the United States give a bunch F-16, F-18, and B-52 bombers to its Afghan Allies. Instead of those crappy east European planes that they are using now... and while there at it adds some Cobra helicopters to the Afghans wish list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.81.130.141 (talk) 06:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- It's mostly likely due to the fact that the military of Afghanistan is not yet capable of handling f-16s, f-18s, B-52s. Giving those types of planes to them now is dangerous because there isn't any well trained Afghan Airforce pilots.--Kipperz (talk) 23:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Also, the United States won't make the mistake of arming the terrorists again. Afghanistan is far too unstable to be given/sold any advanced aircraft at the risk of them being stolen by the insurgents. And the fact that the military is woefully underfunded to take any large amount of high-cost aircraft like B-52s or F-16s and maintain them. The extremely poor infrastructure may also have something to do with it. Canationalist (talk) 18:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
