Some hour drive from Kabul, a real massive scrapyard of the Afghan Army was found. Only a few sandy paths were cleared from land mines, so I couldn't reach these wreckages for further inspection. But a MiG-21 tail and a Mi-24/-35 nose section can be seen in this picture. The tail section of 206 in the background is that of an Ilyushin Il-14. On the right-hand side, on top of the hill, an Il-28 fuselage can be seen. What a mess...
