Afghanistan, falls on a jet to the Usa. The Taliban: We have shot down the aircraft of the Cia

A plane of the u.s. air force crashed in the province of Ghazni in Afghanistan: judging from the pictures spread on social networks, it seems to be a jet, Bombardier Global Express, AND-11A included in the “transportation hub of communications for the battlefield” (Bacn) that is used for the coordination of military operations. “An aircraft of the Cia”, they immediately called the Taliban, who have claimed responsibility for the killing, stressing that all occupants, including senior officials of the Usa services, were killed.

Place of the accident is the district of Deh Yak, an area controlled by the fundamentalists. The afghan government has sent a contingent of special Forces, but for the moment the only information we receive are those made by the Taliban, which include a video with images of the wreckage of the plane in the middle of the snow.

For the moment it is not clear what are the causes of the accident: in the movie the remains of the Bombardier show traces of burns, which of course could be caused by the impact on the ground or from a possible missile. The idea that the jet was shot down by the “students of the koranic” is not entirely to be excluded, but seems less compatible with the technologies in their possession. Unless of surprises, the Taliban do not have access to anti-air systems and modern, at the most, may still have in the arsenal some Stinger dating back to the times of the struggle against the soviets, and never returned to the Usa. But an airplane like the Bombardier is equipped with countermeasures, modern, hard to believe that it was shot with antiquated systems.

Own jet, AND-11A of the Bacn had risen to the headlines in the summer of 2014, when the experts had reported the presence for nine hours in a row over the skies of Ghazni during an operation of Nato troops in which nine militants Taliban had been killed.
