apperantly,SLAF was no better than 2 decades ago,and their fighter wing is depleting too..few(around 10) F-7s and few(around 8) kfirs are all that left.looks like ANAF will be in far better positions within a decade..actually ANAF had more aircraft during 1980s than SLAF totally operated since the beginning(and for that time the quality of aircraft was far better than SLAF will ever dream to operate) .


The Afghan air force was at its strongest in the 1980s and early 1990s, producing some concern on the part of neighboring countries. The air service had at least 7,000 personnel plus 5,000 foreign advisors. At its peak, the air force had at least 240 fixed-wing combat aircraft (fighters, fighter-bombers, light bombers), 150 helicopters, and perhaps 40 or more Antonov transports of various models. Midway through the Soviet-Afghan war, one estimate of Afghan air power listed the following inventory:

90 x interceptor MiG-17 – one regiment of MiG-17s and MiG-19s reported at Mazar-i-Sharif in 1990.[11]
45 x interceptor MiG-21 – in 1990, thee squadrons were reported at Bagram Air Base[12]
60 x fighter-bomber Su-7, Su-17 Warplane, a British partwork, reported in its issue 21, published in 1985, that some 48 Su-7BMs, without Su-7UM two-seaters, had been supplied from 1970, forming the equipment of two fighter/ground attack squadrons at Shindand Airbase.[13]
45 x light bomber Il-28
150 x helicopter Mi-8, Mi-24

Mi-17 helicopters of the AAF during the 2010 air show in Kabul.

Additionally, the Afghan air force probably operated some 40 or more transports, including the An-26, An-24, and An-2.[14] Another estimate in 1988 painted a more detailed picture of the Afghan Air Force:[15]

322nd Air Regiment, Bagram Air Base, three fighter squadrons with 40 MiG-21s
321st Air Regiment, Bagram Air Base, three fighter/bomber squadrons with Su-7/Su-22
393rd Air Regiment, Dehdadi Air Base (Balkh), three fighter/bomber squadrons with MiG-17s
355th Air Regiment, Shindand Airbase, 3 bomber squadrons with Il-28s and one fighter/bomber squadron with MiG-17s
232nd Air Regiment, Kabul Airport, three helicopter squadrons with Mi-4, Mi-6, and Mi-8 with one squadron of Mi-8s detached to Shindand
377th Air Regiment, Kabul Airport, four helicopter squadrons with Mi-25s and Mi-17s
? Air Regiment, Kabul Airport, two transport squadrons with An-2, An-26/30, and one VIP transport squadron with one Il-18 and 12 An-14s
two attack helicopter squadrons with Mi-24s at Jallalabad and Kabul
Air Force Academy, Kabul, with Yak-18s and L-39s
Air Defence Forces consisting of two SAM regiments at Kabul, an AAA Battalion at Kandahar, and a radar regiment at Kabul

they are about to begin their procurement of light attack aircraft and most likely to operate as many as 145 multi-type aircraft and 21 helicopters within few years..so,stop poking a war devastated country(I didn't mean to troll,but no other way)

I think it is not morally acceptable to make fun of a fallen nation.

afghan stupiditiy , arrogance and naivety have all contributed to the destruction of what ever little they had as an airforce .. they tried to destroy Pakistan but ended up destroying themselves.

the fate of those who consprie to damage Pakistan , ultimately results in failure

indra gandhi conspired against Pakistan and got disposed of like trash her self
daud khan made war on Pakistan and got himself killed and his family raped
mujib ur rehman worked with india to damage Pakistan and ultimately got killed like the dog that he was

and so the story continues .....

Sri Lanka don`t need to worry aboutthe air force as SL is peaceful now..We have far better living conditions than all these other South Asian countries..Let them fight (while all of them have 25% + poverty rates) and we`ll develop our country !
