Minor but nagging question:
WHO, what nations, are doing airlifts? How much?
I saw a brief clip of a plane on FOX clearly with German insignia.
I’m sure everyone is still trying to get their respective people out, but any idea on the magnitude of each?
And it makes me wonder if Euro allies are making more effort than Biden admin.
I think a bunch of countries still are.
But I think we gave up. It's too hard for us.
Been checking the FlightRadar app every so often and the bulk of the C-17’s (with a radar ID at least) are ours. Some from UK and every so often Qatar.
Those Geman planes are Airbus Atlases. They look like a propeller driven knock off of a C-17.
Headline at MarketWatch right now: White House says US retains capacity to evacuate remaining Americans in Afghanistan.
The capacity to pay large ransoms.
Keystone Cops are in charge per Dementia Joe.
Now watching a C17A heading for Kabul.
Great website.
All news stations use stock video and photo so that could have been from a week ago. Since the debacle started many countries planes have flown in and out.
Currently there are 4 C-17’s inbound to Kabul. Moose92, Moose94, Moose83, & Moose83. Moose92 just made the turn north into Pakistan. There remainder are flying west to east over the Gulf of Oman. There are multiple KC-135 circling over the Gulf of Oman, along the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, and one to the east of Kabul.
About two or so hours ago, there was non-US flight to Qatar. Earlier than that there was non-US flight from Mazar-i-Sharif.
I have not seen any NATO-ally flights this morning.
Thanks for the info. Surprised you could see this on an open public site.
Yes, you could be right. Of course one has to be concerned it’s file images that have zero to do with Afghan! I just assume it is reasonably within scope.
Interesting. Thanks. Just wondering what is happening with other countries and if they are outstripping us. Which wouldn’t surprise me what with DEMentia Joe.
The scum that rule us are selling Americans into debt bondage with funny money flying off the presses. I wonder if sovereign debt needs to be paid back if there is an new government entirely? After all, you only own what you can hold.
Who is this one?

Gulfstream took off from Anchorage, flew through Russia around Mongolia and China and appears to be headed toward Pakistan or Afghanistan
Despite the Biden Administration claiming credit for the 122,000 evacuated, many countries and private organizations provided the airlift assets to evacuate tens of thousands.
We need a breakdown of who was evacuated. Amcits, Green card holders, SIVs, Third Country Nationals, and refugees. We will learn that the vast, vast majority of evacuees are refugees with no connection to the USG.
BTW, there are zero civilians leaving Kabul. It is all military retrograde at this point.
Looks like he is going to Islamabad ... turned south too soon for Kabul.
Yeah when I found him it seemed like he was just steering east around Kazakhstan and might adjust back toward Afghanistan, but you are right. Now it appears to be Islamabad.
“retains capacity “
Of course they do. Doesn’t mean anything. It’s gov’t slime speak
