The Afghan Air Force, which the government in Kabul sees as one of the few remaining benefits in the fight against the Taliban, is growing rapidly, Watchdog says.

All Afghan aircraft were operating at 25 percent of their scheduled maintenance intervals, with five of the seven aircraft experiencing a decline in production in June alone.

The agency said, for example, the fleet of AC-208 light-attack fighter jets maintained 93 percent readiness between April and May, but those indicators fell to 63 percent in June.

SIGAR added that all Afghan aircraft and crews were "overworked" due to increasing requests for air support, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and re-supply missions.

The lack of preparation is accompanied by an increase in Taliban attacks and the complete withdrawal of the United States from the war-torn country.
