ANSF is being developed with NATO standard trainings and equipements so in any case US/NATO is not going to procure us Pakistani equipments; even Russian made hardware purchases has been criticized by US lawmakers for ANSF but due to ANSF's previous knowledge of Russian made hardware US has left a small option for them too but not for a long run they will be also changed in the future.

Why are you guys using Humvees ? They are very fuel un-economical from what I've read, shouldn't the Turkish Otokar Cobras be a better choice ?

It is not that simply.
When ANA gets new hardware, then it is not the Afghan government who bought them, but the US, and therefore American hardware is placed better.They may be un-economically, but the Humvee offers more protection that an Otokar, and therefore more useful for the ANA.
And secondly ANA have obtained Humvees in such large numbers, that the Turks wouldn't be able to produce Otokars in same quantities.

There was news abt most of them being out of service ... destroyed due to corruption,lack of availability of spares etc...

Well if no Russian Helis are coming then American Helis will be delivered, that was the demand of the US senator.Some Humvees are out of use due to combat hits, but the maintaing are working fine.

As i said yes some vehicles are damaged in combat an is not repairable, but basic maintenance is done by the ANA.
the problem is not maintaining, but a logistical error, which means that more vehicles get damaged beyond repair than in some area, than the US can distribute to the same area.

Damage is not just the problem.. corruption,selling spares,theft and slow n corrupt process of reimbursement etc are the main cause...

Any how good luck...
