How unlucky that you fail to access the best study of the subject that I have provided, complete with an extensive bibliography.
care to try again at this link:
http://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/occasional_papers/2011/RAND_OP322.pdf
allow me to quote some of the text, for sources see the bibliography:
On to the second one, did you expect the Taliban to be named. I can see your concern, still it's another brick in the wall.
additionally here's some named quotes from the second source you gracefully ignored:
This might be due to English being your second language, but the quote could (and probably does) also mean:
Meaning that they are obviously not Chinese or Pakistani because of other reasons than high quality, the quality only being an attribute (you are familiar with the use of commas, yes?).
I dare say it would be very easy for the USA to identify the markings as fake, either by quality or by checking on what happened to the production series with those numbers. Are you suggesting that Iran did not provide weapons for fighters in Iraq as well??
Than you go on and ignore the 4th link:
You wanted
names right? here you go.
Are you kidding me?
You asked for a source.
-I provided one.
It was not good enough,
you asked for named source.
-I provided numerous named sources and even some Taliban accounts (which are also acknowledged as
genuine in your own link)
-You ignore it, not good enough again. Now you want me to provide physical evidence?
Look I am only a short while on these forums yet daily there are numerous un-sourced claims here, none get nearly the inquisition you are trying to do here. Would you be satisfied with anything short of a documentary shot by Khaminai himself about the production shipment and finally the use of the weapons by Taliban?
Are all your claims in all your posts are held to the same scrutiny? can you provide a physical proof to every claim you make?
I am aware that those sources don't prove it 100% but they come pretty close to it, if we would require physical proof of everything we would be uncertain of many many things.
The video you provided is just a guy and a journalist ranting their opinion about the matter, they provide no evidence and no official comments. I can shoot a video of myself with the same credibility.
Not to mention that he is suggesting the USA is working with the Taliban (lol).
As for the link, it's just a logical fallacy on your part. Can't say I am surprised. I never claimed that
all of the Taliban weapons come from Iran. so your links are irrelevant.
