Talk:Afghan Air Force

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

text: 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)

message: I understand L-39 is a trainer, but in this case, what are they training for? They have no jet fighter so I see the L-39 as attack aircraft, not as pure trainer. So they only train to pilot for the same aircraft they are flying, the L-39. Are they planning to train for front line jets to be purchased in the future?

message: The A-29 should be called the A-29, which is synonymous for the EMB 314. Separate variants include the A-29A (single seat) and A-29B (two seater). According to this source they are the same aircraft: http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=718
As well the Afghan Air Force calls it's the A-29 not EMB 314. Garuda28 (talk) 17:29, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Going off of that it seems like when the Canadians call their F/A-18s CF-118s, even though their the same aircraft. Looks like Fox52 is mis reading the information and seeing a separate variant when it's just an alternate designation. 2600:100E:B008:85F8:8463:5EDE:B6DE:1973 (talk) 18:23, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd disagree the aircraft manufactures baseline model is called the EMB 314, hence you have the section for the variants 47.152.57.146 (talk) 22:47, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems that the variants are only A-29A and A-29B, with an emphasis on the A and B indicating single seat and duel seating. As it is mentjln in the intro the EMB 314 is also known as the A-29, no A or B designator, indicating that the A-29 is the main platform and an A-29A is a variant. This is in a similar manner that the F-15 is the baseline aircraft, but the F-15A is the variant. Either way, A-29 cannot be used as a variety as it does not fit these categories. Move to rename A-29 as the main aircraft. 24.192.250.124 (talk) 17:10, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/12/28/after-delays-a29-attack-aircraft-to-arrive-afghanistan-2016.html here's another article saying there are the same aircraft 24.192.250.124 (talk) 17:33, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

message: The source reads: "'More than 150 Black Hawks, divested from US Army stock, will be shipped to Afghanistan over the next five years,' says Giovanni Estrada, country programme manager at the US Army Security Assistance Command. Under current plans, this total [159] would include 61 aircraft to be used in a basic utility configuration, plus at least 58 armed examples."  The second sentence obviously does not affect the total 159 Black Hawks.  The "119 in delivery" is therefore a misleading statement.  The United States Congress has already approved the program in which 159 Black Hawks to be given to Afghanistan and the U.S. military is currently busy in completing this project. This is very relevant information for this article so it should be presented as is, without adding personal opinions on the number of the aircraft.--Wipeblade39 (talk) 14:03, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

message: The ranks that were originally listed were of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Seeing as this article primarily pertains to the Air Force of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, and the Taliban has not made any declarations of intentions to start an air force, the old ranks should be returned, and this article should refer to a disbanded military branch.
