Taliban Wants To Build Afghanistan’s Air Defenses With Russia’s Help

Central Asia 5+1 countries either have Russian AD or Chinese AD.

Taliban is conforming rather than resisting.

Russia technical support "to repair the OLD Soviet AD which Taliban already possesses."

Only this exists in their stock:

I'm not sure what world you live when you accuse Afghans of supporting terrorism whilst your defence minister openly admitted on Live Tv that Pakistan has suppprted militant terror groups for 40 years. Pakistan has groups like Lashkar e Taiba, Sipah e Sahaba, jaish e mohammad, lashkar e jhangavi etc etc.

I'm not sure if you've heard of the saying "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". What India calls terrorists, Pakistan calls freedom fighters and vice versa.

Pakistan supported the jihadi groups because it was in Pakistan's interest to stall USSR in Afghanistan as Pakistan would have been next on the list. Russia's aim was to access warm waters of Indian ocean and get close to energy corridors of persian Gulf. Another reason was that Americans wanted revenge for Vietnam and Pakistan being in the American camp since 50s made Pakistan an ideal launchig pad for Afghan Jihad. In a strange way Pakistan hosting CIA operatives in badabir airbase near Peshawar since 1956 to spy on USSR also forced USSR to get involved in Afghanistan and make sure Americans don't get a foothold. It was a continuation of the great game between Russia and Britain.

If Pakistan was so sincere in helping Afghanistan fight foreign invaders, it wouldn't have let America/Nato use Pakistan as a transit route for over 20 years to continue the war in Afghanistan.
Afghans should have amso let the Russians use Afghanistan as a launching pad to attack Pakistan but our people fought in their own land rather than letting the fight happen in Pakistan.

Pakistan did what it did to look after it's own interests without any regard for what happens to Afghanistan and Acghanistan reserves the same right to look after it's own interests regardless of what happens to Pakistan. That's the harsh reality and lessons learnt during the last 50 years
Lets start with Faqir of Ipi who started his rebellion against newly created state of Pakistan and Afghanistan gave him the sanctuary and only then pakistan had to attack inside Afghanistan when everything else failed.

Fast forward to Al zulfikar who were behind bombings in major cities of Pakistan, and guess who gave them shelter and intel. Hint: Afghanistan.

Should i start talking about 36 umbrella groups of Alqaida and TTP who continue to operate from Afghan soil?

Should i mention the BLA leaders being killed in Afghanistan?

Pls dont lecture us about the history when you are not willing to even talk about the start.
 
Russia knowing how big of a menace TTA is for Pakistan and yet providing them anti aircraft gun, I am not sure if we can trust Russia. I wonder what kind of scores they are trying to settle by providing a known terrorist facilitator these systems.
They are traumatized because Pakistan was one of the reasons their superpower USSR was broken into 15 countries.
