Who is doing the “airlift” from Kabul?

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?

We have a pretty good idea of which countries were involved. Don’t know now who is. However, the Admin. keeps touting the total number and hoping everyone buys it as the number that “We” evacuated. Yes, we were operating & securing the airport, but many other countries & organizations were getting people to the airport & flying them out.

To an extent yes, but I’m sure there’s more there that don’t have a radar squak code. I’ve had military aircraft pass close to us and if I check that app...nothing.
