I was curious about this earlier. I think I read that the maximum load was 150 people, which is bollocks as they are massive and have vehicles in them, but I'm sure at some point someone told the pilot it's quite full. I'm sure past the regulated take off weight. And he said fuck it and went for it....



Daft cunt could've killed everyone on board and himself.


Judobill @Judobill in mainstream flying ops do you not have a mission commander or a checklist during pre flight? Or a cunt like me that can call off the flight?
We run all of our numbers through our weight and balance computer and get takeoff and landing performance numbers. I’m sure those planes can take off in refugee mode no problem. Also, we don’t have any cunts like you.

In the last few weeks, Taliban fighters, armed with little more than AK-47s, have rolled through Afghanistan virtually unopposed.

BBC Newsnight has been told that one of the main reasons behind the Afghan National Army's collapse is that the true size of its fighting force was just a fraction of the official figure.

President Biden has repeatedly said an Afghan army numbering 300,000 men received hundreds of millions of dollars for equipment and training.

But two well-placed sources tell us the true number of troops was actually much lower - closer to 50,000.

An Afghani source with direct knowledge told Newsnight that in a meeting with former Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani, newly appointed Defence Minister Bismillah Khan Mohammadi expressed alarm about the true figure of only 50,000 soldiers.

A second source, terrorism expert Dr Sajjan Gohel, also supported the 50,000 figure.


@Splinty Sheepdog @Former Maycee Barber Fan I was seriously misled.
That was the point. 'Ghost soldiers' was a well-known thing. I wouldn't necessarily trust that low figure either - I don't think they actually know, which is the problem.

But this whole 'the Afghans didn't fight' narrative is also overblown to suit the narrative. Some estimates suggest 100,000 Afghan soldiers/militia died (more than the 'official' figure of around 50,000).

They had an incredibly poor strategy of trying to hol districts across the country that were already surrounded, meaning not only the garrisons but reinforcements got chewed up by the Taliban.

Part of the reason they didn't have much manpower by the end was because so many of their best soldiers were dead.

Yep, not a problem at all as sparkuri said

Those planes carry tanks
Tanks can weigh 130000lbs plus

130000 divided by 200(generous weight for a middle eastern human) is 650 humans per tank

800 people seems well below the 160K Rated(we know it could do a bit more) Weight Capacity

I know what fucken weight and balance is. You reckon the pilot weighed the plane on the taxiway?

That's not accounting for the CG and moment. Those tanks get placed in specific spots. Not a heard of rampant jumping jacking afghans.

We need Donald to make Afghanistan great again. Him or George bush should be sworn in immediately and the sniffy old pervert should be sent to gitmo and charged with treason!
