In the early 1990s Afghanistan's Air Force included 12 combat squadrons with a total of 126 aircraft [Russian-built Mig-21, Su-7, Su-20, Su-22, and Il-39]. Some An-12 transports were equipped with Soviet-designed bomb racks that could carry up to 38 250-kilogram bombs. The five aviation transport squadrons had about 60 planes [An-12, An-26, An-32, and Yak-40], and nine helicopter squadrons with about 100 Mi-8 and Mi-17 transport helicopters, and 14 Mi-24 combat helicopters.
By the mid-1990s the Air Force had collapsed as a professional military establishment, and remnaining aviation assets changed hands over the course of the civil war. Most of the surviving aircraft, amounting to about 40 combat aircraft and various transport planes and helicopters, are under Taliban control. About half the combat planes are Su-20 and Su-22 export versions of the Su-17 fighter-bomber, with the other half including Mig-21 interceptors and ground attack fighters. The Taliban also converted a few Il-39 trainer aircraft to bombers. Most of the planes are elderly, and many are unsafe to fly. Improvisation and cannibalization provide a few combat aircraft (six or eight) for limited operations.
