Afghan President Ashraf Ghani speaks about the addition

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani speaks about the addition of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter to the Afghan Air Force during a ceremony at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, Oct. 7, 2017. The AAF received several Black Hawks from the U.S. to bolster their air power capabilities. The helicopters provide sustainable, capable replacements for aging aircraft currently in use. The modern aircraft will help the AAF and Afghan National Defense and Security Forces combat insurgent groups and will also bolster the AAF's manpower by 50 percent, providing almost 4,000 new jobs for Afghans.
