An Afghan Air Force Mi-17 transport helicopter descends

description

Summary

An Afghan Air Force Mi-17 transport helicopter descends for a landing during a combat resupply mission in Barge Matal in the northern Kunar Valley March 10. The AAF worked in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and coalition forces to complete the mission, using ten aircraft to deliver over 9,000 kilograms of weapons, ammunition and food to Afghan National Police stationed in the remote post that is seen as vital by Afghan officials due to its proximity to Pakistan and history of insurgent activity. Following the supply drop-off, forces loaded over 80 ANP bound for their respective homes following a three to six month deployment to the region.
