On October 7, 2026 at 7:15 a.m., one Indian-made Cheetah helicopter, a remnant from the Republic era that was in service with the Taliban militias , was downed and destroyed as a result of a Green Unit’s pre-planned smart operation. Two pilots named Abdul Azeem and Mohammad Naeem and the so-called chief of staff of the Taliban’s air forces, Mullah Qiblaullah Muqeem, were badly wounded. The injured, whose condition has been described as extremely critical, were evacuated from the area to Kabul by a Mi-17 (Russian made helicopter). The wreckage of the helicopter remains in the Arzoy area of Panjshir, and we are attempting to photograph and film it.
