ANRF Claims They Shot Down Taliban Helicopter, Capture Four Fighters
Afghan National Resistance Front Spokesperson Sibghatullah Ahmadi announced this morning that fighters in Arezoo valley of Panjshir shot down a Taliban helicopter. Four crewman apparently survived and were captured by the Resistance. The above picture shows what appears to be an Mi-17, of which the Taliban captured about 100 from various Afghanistan military bases since last September. The only visible difference between the Mi-8 and Mi-17, which are both flown by Taliban pilots is the tail rotor is on the left side.
