Afghanistan Helicopter Crash: A helicopter of the Taliban-ruled Afghanistan Air Force crashed while on patrol. Two people have died in this accident. According to Afghanistan’s Defense Department, the helicopter crashed while on patrol near northern Samagan province. In which two pilots aboard the helicopter were killed.

Confirming the incident, the Taliban’s defense department said an MD-530 helicopter of the air force crashed into a high-voltage power pole. Due to this, there was a technical fault in the helicopter and it crashed and fell. Both the pilots died in the accident.

The accident happened due to technical fault

According to information, the incident took place in Khulam district of Samangan province. The head of the Taliban’s information department in Afghanistan also confirmed the crash. It is being told in the local media report that this is not the first military helicopter accident. Even before this, many helicopter accidents have happened due to technical fault. Many pilots have died in these accidents.

Since the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, several helicopters of the Air Force have been victims of accidents due to unknown reasons. In the investigation of these accidents, the reasons for the technical fault could not be clear. Earlier on September 10 last year, a US-made Black Hawk helicopter crashed during military training in Kabul. Then the Defense Ministry of Afghanistan had said that three people had died in the accident.

Taliban captured several American helicopters

After the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, the NATO military alliance and US forces left the country. It is being claimed that during this time America had to leave many of its war weapons and military equipment in Afghanistan.

No official figures have been released on how many US helicopters are in the possession of the Taliban government. The US-backed government fell in August after the Taliban took over Afghanistan last year. Meanwhile, many Afghan pilots went to the countries of Central Asia.
