Kabul: Beginning Taliban pilots were overwhelmed when trying to take down the US military’s abandoned helicopters when three people died in a crash. These people were trying to learn to fly the abandoned Black Hawk helicopter after leaving America. There are also reports of 5 people getting injured in this crash.

According to a news agency Reuters news, a Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a Taliban training exercise in the Afghan capital Kabul, killing three people. The Defense Ministry of the Taliban has given information about this on Saturday. Defense Ministry spokesman Inayatullah Khorazmi said the training was underway from an American Black Hawk helicopter. The helicopter crashed inside the campus of the National Defense University due to a technical problem. Five people were also injured.

About a year ago, the Taliban took control of some US-made aircraft after taking over Afghanistan. It is not clear how many of these are in working condition. The US military intentionally damaged some military equipment before leaving the country. While the Afghan army had sent some helicopters to Central Asian countries.
