On Mar 1, Pakistan bombed the Bagram air base in Afghanistan in the ongoing war.
The base lay very close to the prediction line for notable "incidents of fire, violence or aggression" that had been given on Feb 17 for Feb 22-Mar 5 period.

The $7 Billion Mirage:

Reclaiming abandoned hardware is a logistical nightmare masquerading as a strategic necessity. And it is the modern soldier who pays the price for this systemic hubris.

The Taliban's scavenging for abandoned arms U.S. forces left more than $7 billion in military equipment with the Afghan national army, the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction reported in 2023. That included more than a quarter-million rifles - enough to arm the entire U.S. Marine Corps - and nearly 18,000 night-vision goggles, enough to outfit the Army's 82nd Airborne Division. Many of these rifles and goggles have since appeared in neighboring Pakistan, where they are increasingly carried by insurgents who have pledged allegiance to the Afghan Taliban regime's leader, a Post investigation found this year. (Pakistan accuses the Afghan regime of sheltering and supporting the militants; Kabul denies these accusations.) At the abandoned bases, the Afghan Taliban also found planes, helicopters and armored vehicles that had been used by the Afghan national army. Satellite images suggest "a concerted effort by the Taliban to centralize, assess and salvage its newfound fleet" in the years since, Goodhind said. In Kandahar, home to a major air base vacated by the U.S. in May 2021 and overrun by the Taliban, images show hundreds of vehicles grouped together in multiple compounds. Humvees that had probably been handed over to the U.S.-backed Afghan army were "gutted and their chassis piled in open ground," Goodhind said.
At the sabul airport, images snow the lahban rezine moving stored or scrapped aircraft to the aprons since 2021 - what Goodhind said was probably part of a similar effort to consolidate all canured coutment and to cannibana parts needed for repairs." Among the military aircraft that could be seen at the Kabul airport in August were several A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft and UH-60 Black Hawk twin-engine utility helicopters, according to Goodhind and Sean O'Connor, lead satellite imagery analyst at Janes, a defense intelligence firm. There also appeared to be several transport aireraft, including C-130 Hercules and Cessna 208 planes, and several Mi-17 Hip helicopters, the analysts said.
Officials and analysts in Pakistan are concerned about the reactivation of aerial assets by the Taliban regime. While the Taliban government lacks skilled pilots and technicians, it is finding new ways to repair some aircraft by sourcing spare parts on the black market, a senior Pakistani official said. He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. Pakistani and Afghan forces clashed last month amid tensions over Islamabad's accusations that the Afghan Taliban are sheltering Tehrik-e-Taliban, the militants who are waging a growing insurgency in Pakistan's northwest. The Taliban's helicopters and close-support aircraft would be "useful when facing a minimally armed insurgency or aggressor," O'Connor said, but not a nuclear-armed country with one of the world's largest militaries such as Pakistan. But Syed Muhammad Ali, a Pakistani defense analyst, cautioned that the aerial assets still could help the Taliban "to quickly shift forces and equipment, and improve the speed of their mobilization" if needed in an escalating conflict with Pakistan. The Taliban's Defense Ministry did not respond to a request for comment. Under the Biden administration, U.S. defense officials rejected responsibility for the abandoned equipment. The Pentagon said last year that it had provided weapons and equipment to the Afghan army after "careful end-user considerations including risks of enemy capture." Officials said they had no intention of recovering the arms. Trump believes otherwise. "I think we should get a lot of that equipment back," he said in February.
Afghanistan: In September, President Trump made a surprise demand for the Taliban regime to hand #Bagram U.S. former air base back. He described the facility as “one of the biggest air bases in the world” & suggested it was “an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons.” archive.ph/hQJbC
