The Afghan air force currently has a dozen A-29 Super Tucanos. The planes became operational there in April 2016, and between then and February this year they flew more than 800 combat missions. The US is looking to expand training of Afghan pilots in addition ramping up strikes by US aircraft.
It will be interesting to see how this goes – and if they can get the funding to get it done.
