US Air force plane crashed in Taliban controlled territory of Afghanistan. We are monitoring the situation in Afghanistan. An US military plane was reportedly gone down in the district of Ghazni, to the Southwest of Kabul and Taliban has claimed responsibility.
The plane gone down on a mountainous region, not very far from Kabul to the south west, a bit less than 100 miles. It is an area where the Taliban are largely in control. Now a local news agency in Kabul, Amaj news posted on their Twitter account, a video that is said to be filmed on the crash site and those pictures show the plane's wreckage still in flames and local Afghan peoples are inspecting that. The plane in the video is a Bombardier E-11 aircraft with US force markings. That plane is a surveillance and communications plane and widely used in Afghan where the very mountainous regions make communication difficult.
The US military in fact refuse to it for the electronics on board as Wi-Fi in the sky. So far the Pentagon have not confirmed that one of its plane is crashed. There is no word on the fate of the aircraft crew but one US official told few times ago that there is no indication that the aircraft was shot down, in spite of Taliban claiming that they did just that.
It will be likely to see that if this is an area that is controlled by Taliban, what will any rescue or recovery efforts look like. Well it will have to be very big operation, the military will have to secure the sight. It's a crash site, so it will be big whether they go by road or air will be determined by how remote it is, how far into the mountains and whether there is a road. When they are on ground they will have air cover, patrolling planes ready to shoot at anything that looks hostile until they manage to get everything moved away, weather they pull a piece of plane out. It probably depends on what kind of technology was on board and whether they want to recover it. They may just destroy it. But if there are crew members, they will want them alive, if they are alive. If there are dead, they will want to get the bodies out safely.
