Plane crashes and catches fire in eastern Afghan Ghazni province

[Messerschmitt]

Yes looks like one of those "private jets" without marking. Seems like one of the active intel agency in Afghanistan was hit.

It could be a Bombardier E-11A, a USAF variant of the Global Express:

Battlefield communications aircraft. Only the operators would be inside. They wouldn't use an asset like this one to fly any VIP

^ The Taliban apparently claimed responsibility for the downing of this plane

Another attempt to derail talks???
There are Iranian backed Taliban factions , isnt it? Can they do this?

 

[BHarwana]

It was a communication and surveillance jet.
Apparently taliban say they shot it down but the flight altitude at which it operates is out Manpads reach so either taliban are not telling truth or the got new munition.

Any was no has claimed ownership of the jet till now.

Trump should cancel all peace talks with Taliban and should order a total destruction of the peace process.
Khalilzad and his assistants needs to be fired.
