A video posted by the Taliban shows a man hanging from a Black Hawk helicopter as the Taliban flies over Kandahar:
Our Air Force!
At this time, the Islamic Emirate’s air force helicopters are flying over Kandahar city and patrolling the city. pic.twitter.com/rlE6nUldZf— Talib Times (@TalibTimes) August 30, 2021
I can’t imagine this could be anything other than a public execution by the Taliban. Why else would you hang a man from a helicopter like this? But I’m open to suggestions otherwise.
One photo makes it look like the man is still alive:

Here’s a different angle on the video:

As the Biden administration assesses the amount of equipment left in Afghanistan, the Taliban has been trolling the US by posing in American uniforms and high-tech gear like night vision goggles while driving around in armored Humvees.
The Afghan air force was operating 167 “usable / In-country” aircraft as recently as June, according to the US-based Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction quarterly report.
Reporter suggests it is a former “Afghan Air Force”, and I think he’s referring to the man hanging from the helicopter and not the helicopter itself:

Whatever the case, this is Biden’s Afghanistan, the one he’s passing on to the next president. Ugh.
