Three new additions to the Taliban AF list: Mi-17V-5 717, Mi-17V-5 705, Cessna 208 YA22401, Kabul airport, April 2024. The helos even have a new paintjob, compare for example with this 717 photo taken in 2018. planephotos.net/photo/26327/Mi…
Notice the Para Battalion insignia on the door and the army triangle insignia on the engine cover.
A Taliban UH-60 Blackhawk serial 0-23450, Kabul 2024. After two and half years since the fall of the Afghan Republic, a small number of Blackhawks remain operational.
Major Najib Khan Fahim and Major Amanullah Khan, pilots of the Afghan Air Force’s 377th Helicopter Regiment, 1988, Faizabad Airfield, Badakhshan. Democratic Republic of Afghanistan
A truly unique combo of a T-55 hull fitted with ZU-23-2 autocannon belonging to the anti-Taliban Harakat-e Islami Afghanistan (Afghan Islamic Movement), Balkh province, 1990s.
A Mi-17 belonging to the rather small air force of Muhammad Ismail Khan, the ruler of western Afghanistan in the perion 1992-1995. Some of his surviving machines, including this helicopter, were later captured by the Taliban. A big thank you to @EchoTwo222 who shared this photo!

MiG-21 pilots from 322 IAP of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan Air Force pose by one of their aircraft, late 1980s. (Grandolini) Photo from Afghan Air Wars by Mike Napier.
The clearest picture yet of the sole operational An-26 of the Islamic Emirate Air Force (the Taliban). Delivered to Afghanistan in the 80s, the airplane survived the civil war, was overhauled in Russia in 2005, phased out in 2010 and made operational again in 2022.

Equatorial Guinea has accepted a Chinese-built Harbin Z-9 helicopter in service, as reported 2 will be received in total.
Not something you see every day - M113 APC with D-30 122mm Howitzer, Libya, date and context unknown, however, I suspect this vehicle was in service with the Libyan Arab Army.
@trip_to_valkiri I never noticed there are three of them in that photo, and they were all based off the early M113.
