Reports suggest that Uzbekistan could be considering returning attack helicopters and other Afghan aircraft that flew there in August 2021 during the collapse of the former Afghan government.

Gen. Haibatullah Alizai, the last chief of staff of the Afghan National Army, told Newsmax that returning the aircraft would be bad for the people of Afghanistan. Alizai became the commanding general of the Afghan army three days before the fall of Kabul.
